The Contender flops.... 4th place behind ABC - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

CBS claimed the lead at 9 p.m. with a fan-favorite "Everybody Loves Raymond," 10.9/16, and a new "Two and a Half Men," 11.5/17. FOX dropped to second with "24." The conclusion of "Fear Factor," 6.3/9, and the premiere of "The Contender," 5.5/8, couldn't lift NBC out of third. ABC managed only a 4.4/7 with its "Boss Swap" special. The WB held onto fifth with "Summerland," 2.3/3. UPN trailed with reruns of "Girlfriends" and "Half and Half."

At 10 p.m., "CSI: Miami" matched "Idol's" household rating with a 13.9/22 ("Idol" had a larger total audience). "Supernanny" posted a 6.3/10 for ABC, while "The Contender" was pretty punchless, finishing at 5.1/8.

No Surprise, it has been scheduled to start for the past two months now, and they still cannot decide when to premiere it, plus it was originally scheduled for Tuesdays, then NBC decided on Wednesdays, and now I think it is going to be on Sundays (if it lasts) in the old American Dreams timeslot.

I watched bits and pieces and you had to love Boxing to really get into that show.
