Why Did Jake LaMotta Get a Movie, But Not Robinson

[Lester Tutor]

There’s only two qualified Directors that can do SRR or Jack Johnson objectively.

Spielberg...cinematography would be the best and his film the color purple was good

Last,

Spike Lee. Man he would do these films so RAW and powerful.

hollywood is run by jews that hate black men. there is your answer

[McNulty]

Love Raging Bull, but SRR needs a movie....agree/disagree?

Because Hollywoodis made up of test audiencing fùcking morons. Same reason why Mickey Ward got a movie. Ward was a BUM. Rocky (Wepner) was a BUM. Stallone stole that story and didn't even want to pay Wepner who was struggling badly. Sorry Chuck, love stealing your story to save my acting career and make a billion dollar franchise, but no --- no money for you. Thats why. Hollywood is a snake pit.

Boxing movies are either Tyson or Ali. Robinson needs a movie and his life is way more interesting than LaMotta's was. Jake raped a woman and molested a 14 year-old for crying out loud. Movie worthy!

You know who else needs their own movie? Sonny Liston. Great story, no need to edit jack shít.

If you're last name isn't Ali or Tyson, you're not getting a movie as a black boxer.

How many movies have white boxers had? LaMotta, Marciano, Mickey Ward, James Braddock, and even a fictional white boxer Billy Hope.

If you're not a black boxer who's shrouded in controversy and negativity then you're not getting a biopic. Jamie Foxx is going to be Tyson in what sounds like the next big boxing movie, which last I heard would be directed by Martin Scorcese.

cuz he beat his wife, probably discouraged movie producers

He probably will but you need a director or writers who are interested enough in his back story.

Vinny Paz got a movie Bleed For This, which wasnt that bad.

but the black boxer that deserves his own movie the most is JACK JOHNSON. if there was one made before, it was low budget and a piece of ****. needs the big hollywood treatment with a great director.

Dude was Muhammad Ali on steroids with pissing off white America. And what better climate than right now to rile up whites again.

I mean damn, you have black men PEACEFULLY taking a damn knee and white people got triggered.

Because Hollywood loves putting out movies about white brawlers who sucked. Rocky, Raging Bull, The Fighter, Cinderella Man, Bleed For This, ect. Great films but there is ton of MUCH more talented black and Latin boxers with even more compelling stories the studios could've invested in.

At least Duran finally got a biopic, which sadly I heard wasn't very good. Ali was decent.

Jack Johnson would make an amazing film if the right people got behind it. This guy was the Money May persona during a time that could have gotten him killed. Unforgivable Blackness was a good documentary on it, but it does need a big time movie to do it right.

Gotta make a story interesting

Winning all the time isn't interesting

[Sidney Powell]

Because he's a ducker / runner

People want to see movies about exciting fighters
