Tonight. 9:40. Sky Movies 2.
For those of you with Sky, who haven't seen this, watch it. Samuel L Jackson's Don King character is superb.

Yeah, it's a really good laugh. Quite an accurate satire.

I seem to recall there is a scene in the film were the Champs looking through videos for a new opponent.
One of the videos is a clip of the Mercer - Morrison fight.

YEah there are some good parts, though I think this whole 'Great white Hope' thing is always overplayed in the media....
There are loads of decent white heavyweights and other fighters who are not given the breaks or are not overpaid.
And just look at Golota / Meehan recently being robbed....this whole 'desperation' to get a White Heavy champ is bvllshit really...
It is not about white it is about green (as I believe Don King said) and who your promoter is.
And look at Michael Grant! Imagine what stick he would've got if he was white....
As to Great WHite Hype those clips are speeded up if you look.
