Why ? If you don't mind me asking .
I know ill get flak for this and all... but i would love to compete to get on that show, and i know they have tryouts, but i believe you have to have some sort of record... i wanted to talk to a person associated with the show to see if i could get on without much of a record.
This season, the fighters look a lot better and i wont say anything, but pasts seasons, i havnt been impressed with the fighters too much and yes, i do think that i could beat a few of them.
anyways... i wanted to tell them i really think having me on the show would be good :rofl as dumb as it sounds. I already have a mini following, from here at esb, to hometown, 'friends' (term used loosely here) with vargas, ect.... im young, im exciting, and i do think im better then a few of the guys who have made the show. Yes i know i will be told im delusional. lol...
Love trixie btw :yep
Kirk, is it your desire to compete? Without a doubt man... for a long time. Things always get in the way, which is MY fault, but im still young and can do something about it.
if ur a real fighter....you don't want to waste ur time with that show.
Yes... I do.
That show is an easy way for exposure.
Dude... i know a pro that has been undefeated for years now, in the top 20 i believe in the world at boxrec, i went to his gym... he tains in a fucking garage that was converted into a gym, nobody knows him... he makes little little money.
its all about exposure. that show is a great platform to shoot from.
Id rather get on that show and do good... then muddle in mediocracy for years. Im not a heavy hitter so its not like i can just rack up a bunch of impressive ko's to garner attention. I will have to do it the hard way through exciting style, and i think just who i am and how i am i would attract fans, and that show would be a world of help. Plus straight from that show, i know for a fact i could get on with Vargas Entertainment Promotions coming out, maybe a higher promotional team when i reach a higher level, if i could do so.

What division? :think
I may have turned pro myself by the time they start season 5 (if there is one). Maybe we could rep ESB together. :p Before I break you! :!:

Not if I break both of you first IB. I will be turning pro after while and I'd be on the show if I got the chance.

shit are you kidding me, that would be a great way to get your name out there.
For real top 10 guys who have already been pros for awhile it might be a waste of time for them, but for someone who is just starting out trying to make a name for themselves , it can get them noticed

you may have had an outside chance at getting on the first or second season, but season 3 looks like it was all guys who were asked to be on the show. i don't see fighters of the caliber of soliman, bika, cordrington, etc. trying out for something like that

Kirk, all due respect - I don't think you're going to be good enough for the show unless you either amass an early 20-2-0 type career or an unbeaten 14-0 career.
People are starting to take note, Sakio Bika for instance, has had a title shot, a title eliminator - within the last 18 months and is now on the fight
Sam Soliman is universally known as a guy who nearly beat Winky
Jaidon Codrington was receiving big heat before his loss to Green.
They're starting to get world level boxers on their show now.
Pffft. If kirk can cry a lot he's set.

you know, your right. i could tell the fighters are much better this season. But its all about ratings, maybe they woud do it..
the point is...
its worth a shot.
whats the worst that will happen? they say no?

to be honest.. its a good move. i didnt watch the first seasons because i was so fustrated, that these guys were on national tv, training every day and they still whined and to me, werent impressive that much in fighting. granted.... there were good fighters, but as a whole.
this season the first two guys, imo... were pretty damn good and it already makes me want to tune in more.
good move.
plus its nice seeing ouma, golden boy, buddy, ect, real fight people... on the show.
so im glad they did that.
They could say no or you could be knocked senseless the first episode.:rofl :rofl :rofl hey i like fighting... to me being knocked sensless isnt as bad as it may seem to others, besides the fact that yes i do think i would do good on the show. maybe not this season as much as the pasts but regardles... lol.

They wouldnt have a genuine amateur novice on the show.If for nothing else but insurance reasons and the fact that the show would lose all credibility.
ppl forget that while the show itself is a short cut to name recognition the guys on it have been busting their asses for years in obscurity and they re the lucky ones.

I highly doubt that you are better then the guys that made it on the show. If you had ever sparred guys that experienced, who fight any where near that level you would change your opinion very quickly. Sorry to break your dreams, but there is NO WAY in hell that you will get on the contender with no record what so ever. You would get annihilated. They probably couldn't even get the bouts sanctioned.

Kirk, I say go for it. Instead of putting you down, we should all be googling and trying to figure out how to get you on that show.
I know I will. If nothing else, you gave it a shot. And that's what life is about. How many shots you take, and if you're not the best at something, it just means you gotta take more shots than the next guy.
Yes... I do.

Your dream IMO is very unrealistic. If you wanted to truely achieve something in boxing you need to start from the ground up and do the hard work, and make the sacrifice. You are trying to take short cuts, and it simply doesn't work like that. Even the worst fighter on the first series would most probably have had a good amatuer career behind them and several proffesional fights. Probably years and years of experience in the gym and 100's of rounds of sparring.

Its funny how some of you CLEARLY play favourites here. i know for instance that if some newbie or most other posters for that matter posted this, they would get shot down immediately. Yet because Kirk is a well liked poster, some of you are actually going to pretend that this is somehow achievable. Not trying to be rude, but just give you an honest opinion Kirk. What makes you think you can compete with guys on that level? And if you could, why haven't you established a record yet?

On Kirk's behalf, a lot of the fighters on this show have a very marginal amateur background and only decent looking pro records. The real stand outs are Codrington, Bika, and Soliman, and to me at least, Paul Smith. But like that Hernandez only had like 10 amateur fights.
