thanks for posting.
im a massive film fan so i heard about this movie ages ago. i forgot about it until now actually. apparently before wahlberg they wanted brad pitt for the role.Brad Pitt was actually in the running for Dickie when Darren Aronofsky (director of The Wrestler, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain) was still attached. Wahlberg was always going to be Micky.
That clip of the weigh-in is for the Shay Neary fight in England, 2000. That was for the WBU 140lb title...I guess they are going to run with that as the 140lb championship for the sake of the story.
That's a great underrated fight right there.
Bale sounds just like Dickie, this should be great.
For anyone who plans to go see it, DON'T go to see it for the Gatti fights as from what I've been told they don't feature at all.
So don't go and be dissapointed... see it if you want to see Micky Ward's story.
what's so special about micky ward. i mean there's a lot of boxers out there with great stories to make. i mean are they just putting the white boxer in the movies becuz whites are more marketable? i mean come on there's a lot of stories out there. what about the gatti, the dela hoya, the mayweather, etc. come on now
You do know Gatti was a white guy to right?

Looks like a sick movie. A bit to hollywood for a movie about Micky Ward. Does anyone know which fight he got wooped in that the trailer was refering to?
It said in the trailer before the fight he was 31, his only loss during that period was to Vince Phillips.

Like a year ago there was a report that Sylvester Stallone was working on a Pacquiao biopic. But yeah, Mickey Ward being the 'great white hope' helps in marketing the film to White America, no getting around that.

There's not enough conflict in their life-stories. As turbulent an upbringing as some of them had, they are missing a crucial story hook.
The core of this film will be 'Brothers', Dicky's struggle with drugs, him holding Micky back and then being the lifeline he needs at the crucial moments. Audiences will relate to that.
It'll be a boxing movie second to that.

Also there better be a kickass Gatti movie in the next 10years.
"Leonardo Dicaprio stars in Thunder
Sometimes when you bring the thunder you get lost in the storm"
some sh*t like that.
That's pretty ****ing awesome, man.
I'm not sure which fight that is, Vince Phillips maybe? He lost that by eye stoppage.
