Trailer for The Fighter (Mickey Ward Movie)

[Madvillain]

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.

hopkins street life, manny pacquiao's rise to success, things about dela hoya, alexis arguello's death. well it ain't marketable and majority wont relate to cuz it's not white marketable.

There's already a Pacquiao movie.

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.

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 awsome!!! Love Mark Whalberg and Christian Bale, Amy Adams smokin as well!!!

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.

[PEBBLES!]

Looks Awesome.

Bale looks really skinny.

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 ****ie, this should be great.

We need a Edwin Valero movie!

Brad Pitt was actually in the running for ****ie when Darren Aronofsky (director of The Wrestler, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain) was still attached. Wahlberg was always going to be Micky.
