Them is fighting words.....

In a press release teaser.

Sergio Mora said:
“Living together under one roof as long as we did created a bond that isn’t typically found in a solitary sport such as boxing,”
“Peter and I have a mutual respect for one another, thus allowing this rematch to take place. But this time, he’ll have to come to my hometown, and you can believe the snake will bite again.”
First Battle
Peter Manfredo Jr. responded by saying:
“This is make-or-break for me. I refuse to lose twice in a row. I proved that against Alfonso and I’ll prove that against Sergio. It’s time to restore the Pride to Providence. October 15th will be the day I do just that.”

ESPN 2 Plugs The Contender 2

ESPN 2 Friday Night Fights, again plugged 'The Contender 2'

Mark Burnett said he want's to help bring back the sport of boxing to the main stream media. He went on to say that ESPN was the perfect venue to help achieve their objectives.

Sylvester Stallone said:
I have no idea what Sylvester Stallone said. I can't understand what he says. It was something like mummble, mummble and that he is making Rocky 6 and that filming should begin in December. Rumors are George Foreman will be the person he fights in the final film. Thank God. Rumor has it that Adrian and Rocky die in this film.

Sugar Ray Leonard said he has been inundated with e-mails from boxing fans from all over the world. He said he got the messege and that they are going to make the show more about boxing.

No more lame competitions? No more edited fights? God I hope so.

This was the first big plug by ESPN.
