I dunno.
There'd be a few problems with painting Gatti as the 'underdog' role.
1) He's rich. He's made enough money to live off of, so even if he doesn't win, there's not terribly much at stake other than another L.
2) He's the champ coming into the fight, so it's not as if he's trying to 'achieve his dream' of becoming the World Champion.
3) He's definately not been written off to the point of Braddock, Ali or Buster. He's still a respected fighter, just nobody thinks he's got the technical skills to defeat Mayweather.
If they were gonna do the movie, they'd have to use creative license to make it interesting. Start it off with him losing by upset to Robinson, go through the whole 'turmoil' act, then have him come back and win back his title.
Problem is, that he won it off of Gianluca Branco... who doesn't exactly inspire fear. They could always shape the story that PBF held the belt... but... yeah....

the movie will only happen if he looses by a deadly ko.
Then die on the way to the hospital. In that case Hollywood
is all over the stuff. Just by winning against a young
wifebeating contender. Well they dont like to make
stories about blacks that enforce negative stereotypes
SO PC demands no movie if he pulls the upset.Comment
