Thread: Dont you love to see the celeb's turn up..

One thing i just noticed to bring up this topic..

Oscar de la hoya mayweather 24/7 ... the scene is the wilfredo gomez gym in puerto rico where oscar is training and the camera's shoot to a couple of other fighters in the gym.. So im like Whoah its my man Ivan Calderon!

So this brings up the topic..Dont you love to see either your favourite fighters or favourite celbrities at fights, gyms or on some other television or anything...

For example ..I thought it was pretty cool to see Winky Wright and My man James Toney kicking it at the first fight between castillo and corrales!..

So what you guys think of this? Who what and where can you remember seeing your favourite stars at a fight or anything?

Peace

Can i count barrera in like every GBP fight he was fighting in... ?

Well, I got one, but in reverse. Some years ago I was at a Cotto fight here in PR, when Hector Camacho showed up and started doing his shadow boxing bit. People started booing the sh*t out of him, and I actually felt kinda sorry for the poor guy. Not a Camacho fan or anything like that, but I still felt bad for him tho.

Damn..So just finished watching the second de la hoya mayweather 24/7
And who should show up at the gym but my man tito trinidad!

And if im not wrong! I beleive Tito had one of them shiny as grill's on those pearly white teeth of his!! lol

pretty sweet!

But also yuh Course preme you cant count barrera with the golden boy..

I love to see the golden boy pictures when you see Bernard, Shane, marco and oscar hanging out together!! Its like damn..There are four ring legends of our era kicking it together at a press conference!

N also i remember Freddie Prince Jr was at cotto malignaggi!! Lol..He came over to say hi to george foreman who was calling the fight that night lol...

Im a chef and met Gordon ramsey at a ricky hatton fight which was pretty cool
also met les battersby out of coronation street same night, (not quite as impressive but still cool!!

JCC Sr. and Jr. along with Mexican Actor Diego Luna were also both ringside, so was Jeff Lacy and SSM.



I think thats one of the best parts about the bright lights in boxing that once they are shining all the celebs come out.

Uumm! let's see.

Denzel Washington, Salma Hayek & Edward Norton, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Edward James Olmos, Sylvester Stallone, that I can recall were all at ODLH-SSM I.

Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z & Beyonce, Fat Joe, have all been at a few Winky & Trinindad fights.

Nick Lachey, was ringside for Cotto-Torres.

Mr. T was ringise for a Ricardo 'Finito' Lopez fight can't remember who Lopez fought.

2Pac was at Tyson-Seldon fight.

Julio Diaz, Bobby Chacon, Erik Morales, Floyd Sr., Mario Lopez & Goldberg were ringside for Marquez-Vasquez.

Roselyn Sanchez & Victor Manuel were both ringside for ODLH-Tito.

Yup..Constructive..

But in actual fact..Was the topic not also about boxers with other boxers..
Or did you think well i have no input about boxers so i'll just slag off some people instead of just ignoring the topic..

So you a p4p champ? How many of those posts are built up with stuff like this when you could have just ignored the topic when you have nothing decent to say?

I get happy when I see celebs on the boxing scene that I didn't realize enjoyed the sport.

Like when I saw my all-time favorite writer/comedian/actor/director in the Sugar Ray Robinson doctumentary that Daxx mentioned last month or so...


WOODY ALLEN! I was looooving it!

Watched "Ringside", the Ali edition(6 hours long), and saw Tony Danza about 4 rows back in a few fights. Other celebs were there, but you can't miss young Danza with his moptop.

Thought it was funny watching him jump up and down.

I remember PBF vs Sharmba Mitchell with Michael Jordon among the audience...
People went nuts when he was shown on the big screen...
Same happened with Earvin "Magic" Johnson,but in a different fight...can't remember which
fight it was...or maybe it was the same,but I don't think so...

Yup. MJ was there because of Andre Ward, who's part of Team Jordan, was on the card.

You'll always have an abundance of fighters ringside if it's a well put on show. Last one I went to about a month ago had Toney, Tex Cobb (supposedly, I never saw him), Robert Guerrero, Ray Mancini and Robin Williams was there. And it wasn't even a big card.

Paris Hilton has been to a Pacquiao fight. Vegas fights, the big ones are like red carpet events really. Mos Def and a ton of other rappers were at the Judah - Baldomir fight. Literally like a ton of them.

im not proud but i was at a holyfield fight im not going to mention who he fought that night lol

but i sat behind motor city cobra, next laila ali and chris byrd.

as i was walking out i bumped into Jermaine Dupri shot caller of SO SO DEF i was shocked to see him rollin solo with no entourage or body guard or even a fine ho cuz hes so small man? guess he wanted to just blend in and again holyfield being from ATL he was prolly there to show love to ATL as well.

then i walked further and bumped into Vin Diesal. at this time Vin Diesal was not yet famous he wasnt a leading man yet he was more so a co-star, but i just finised a project with him and did some stunt work with him so i said sup and he was shocked that i even recognized him out of the many other celebs there.
he was rolling deep with a bunch of pretty boys who seriously looked like A&F catalog boys

i told him dont worry man this summer the movie will blow u up and u gonna be ridiculously famous/successful. he was mad humble and cool.
