Prettyboy The Movie

[Beanflicker]

I don't think it's an interesting story for a movie unless they really wanna be honest and show all his personal flaws ala Raging Bull and show what a complete scumbag he is/was.

The general public knows too much about Floyd's personal life to get behind him and buy into the "overcoming adversity" angle they used in flicks like Cinderella Man and The Fighter.

I think Sammuel L Jackson could play his father, maybe John Goodman as Gatti and how about Chris Rock as Floyd. I don't know if there is enough general interest in Floyd for a major motion picture to be warranted. I know Millions buy his pay per views but even Floyd with all that exposure isn't a household name. Most of the casual fans I know think he is a heavyweight which goes to show you they are not interested enough to find out.

Dont see why not. If a film about Micky Ward winning the WBU title can be a hit Im sure one about Floyd can be. Snr is every bit as fucked up and funny as Dicky. I'd watch it just to hear the actor playing Snr call Manny a homosection during an interview whilst looking over his shoulder to see if anyone is watching.

Ward also fought anyone did not care and had a crowd pleasing style. He was also a nice guy that helps. Speaking of how come the did not show the Gatti fights? Bummer

They will show that in the sequel.

Audiences like to root for underdogs, and white underdogs at that. Floyd is neither so I don't see it.

That said "Ali" and the new Jackie Robinson movie have done very well so who knows. They are/were beloved by millions of people tho, Floyd is only beloved by hardcore boxing fans and counter culture casual fans who think its hip to like the bad guy.

Playing Floyd? How about Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson?

Ward is a likeable guy you can root for. Floyd is a cock that you want to see get KTFO

Nope, I was trying to be funny. I hate to toot my own horn but I think I did pretty good on the comedy with that one.
