With rappers starting to suddenly become interested in boxing?


50 cent is starting to make all these boxing friends, and is now going to get trained by Roger Mayweather. In some of The Game's lyrics he mentions Winky Wright, and in one of his commercials for the new Hurricane shoes he has the tape on his hands and is training in a boxing gym.


Could this be a new "fad" or something for rappers? Hanging out with boxers, and boxing?

Im pretty sure Pac and Tyson used to chill.

There's a thread in this forum on boxing references in rap,

A number of rappers have walked boxers to the ring. Boxers and rappers often share the same fans - Mayweather vs. Judah was primarily advertised on hip-hop radio stations intentionally

There are boxers in rap videos too and rap movies too - Bernard Hopkins in States Property II, Winky Wright in the Jamie Foxx video, Zab Judah in Lil Kim's Lighters Up and City High's What Would U Do, Cory Spinks in Nelly's Na Na Na Na, and many more...

I remember when Tito and Winky were in the Touch it video. They walked up and REMATCH came up in big letters. I never got that. Tito got his ass beat that fight. Why would they even say rematch?

Mc.Hammer is a good friend of Evander Holyfield's and can be seen in the locker room of many of his fights . Can't think of the name of the DOC about Holy but Hammer is with him during most of the fights
Big Pun & Fat Joe are big Trinidad fans and Pun rapped his intro live for I think the Da La Hoya fight

It is on the vid game knockout kings 2000 for PS1If you're a fan of hip-hop, you'll love the music in Knockout Kings 2000. Up-and-coming rapper "O" takes the reigns, putting together an original soundtrack, including each fighter's entrance theme. His track "In the Game" is featured in the opening montage and can also be heard during some training sequences. Other artists include Mix Master Mike, Nyt Owl and Simon Say's.

I think you had to unlock the vid or you had to find it in settings . I think it is called [In the Game] but i'm not sure http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0292060/soundtrack here's the list of songs.
