Slattery's People

Question: Does Nero Still at Ringside Sit? (1x17)

Air date: Feb 05, 1965

An Intriguing show if somewhat of a stacked deck. Tipped that a boxer is not in condition for a major fight, Slattery tries unsuccessfully to have it stopped. When the man is badly hurt In the ring, Slattery launches an anti-boxing crusade, which runs into every anticipatable stumbling block. Obviously inspired by the Benny Paret death in the ring, the show should appeal to pacifists and anger fight fans.
