    I had no idea they were making a movie about George Foreman!!

    This is very poorly promoted. I just discovered this 5 minutes ago from a youtube ad. I'm there first day. I don't care if it's pg-13. It looks well done.. I read his autobiography many years ago in the 90s. Even though Moorer was the favorite, he never looked "unstoppable" at HW hahaha

      Doesn’t look like a AAA movie but I’m on board.

      And I think he was making $1,000 an hour at the peak of the Foreman grill.

              His story might be the best out of all the boxers out there. Hopefully the movie does him justice

                that looks terrible.

                like all things made today.

                and yes, the rated pg 13 matters.

                boxing is a serious sport and foreman was a serious player in said sport. no way a pg13 movie can convey his life story properly.

                    I was in a bar watching Moorer win every round and it was sad because Foreman had just lost to Morrison (who wisely refused to engage) and I was thinking this was likely the end of George's comeback and then BOOM!

                    I think I made a spectacle of myself, or so my GF at the time told me. Oh well...

                    either the judges were not watching the same fight as me or my memory isn't very good
