Why do good actors only ever feel that boxing movies are the only type of sports movies they can do? I know some are coaches in other movies but it seems boxing is the only one considered high art.

the better question is how could a manlet beat the god that is dolph lundgren?

No. No. No. You answer MY question faggot. You don't get to pose your own.

IT IS A METAPHOR FOR MAN'S STRUGGLE

That's not true. Based Tom Cruise did NASCAR kino.

because boxing is classy and MMA is for trashy white guys that shave their head and get covered in tattoos.

Idris Elba to play Lionel Messi in a biopic on his life.

Boxing is really the only sport that is relevant in the US and the rest of the world. Nobody in Kentucky is going to watch a divegrass movie and nobody in Poland is gonna watch a handegg movie.

Wtf? What about Seabiscuit, you absolute fucking mongoloid? You complete nigger. You fucking worthless subhuman cuckold. You should absolutely 100% kill yourself as soon as you get the chance, you god damned filthy fucking retarded dipshit cum slurping stupid fag loving dummy.

our lord and savior tony scott

It's philosophical, masculine, think Hobbes and shit. Go watch Raging Bull over and over until you get it.

I said good actor retard

They want to do movies that focus on one particular person, and the only popular contact sport that does that is boxing.

I change my question. It has to be a good movie not the typical cruise movie

What are you talking about Pacino was in Any Given Sunday.

>Warrior

>coach
Read the OP again

Personal stuggle is interesting, team struggle is too, but when the focal point of a movie is a team and the individuals on it there isn't as much "meat" to chew for actors to dig into. A boxer striving for personal glory both in and out of the ring has that in droves.

MMA is not a sport.

>racing
>sport

Also this film was just Top Gun in a car.

Literally one of the only movies about mma. Also both actors werent very popular at the time.

I don't think any other athletes in any other sport go through as much as boxers do.

Rush worked, but I really doubt many other sports without that intense a rivalry in it could work.

umm...no, sweetie
Jamie Foxx has an Oscar and he was in Any Given Sunday too

Even wrestling fans look down on MMA fans at this point.

this is a complete ABP-319

BECAUSE HE IS A REAL AMERICAN
BROTHER

Keanu Reeves in the replacements.

Geena Davis in a league of their own

Dennis Quaid in the rookie

Kevin Costner in Bull Durham

I said good actors not meme actors

>I don't think any other athletes in any other sport go through as much as boxers do.

MMA. but yeah most sports won't work

He maybe listed 2 meme actors.

The Wrestler.
Foxcatcher.
The Damned United.
Friday Night Lights of course.

Damn, exclude boxers or acting as coaches and this shit gets hard. I'm excluding comedies too.

Wait, there's that Battle of the Sexes movie, which is looking like a dramedy.

>Sport full of brain damaged niggers and spics is classy
Hmmmm...

He at least listed three.

You forgot Robert Redford in the natural.

I think baseball movies are on par with boxing desu

Only speaks to how garbage MMA is.

Fake wrestling isn't a sport. Foxcatcher didnt focus on wrestling. The damned united and Friday night lights are coaches

>Foxcatcher didnt focus on wrestling
Not many movies that are ostensibly about a sport are really about the sport itself, so this statement is pretty shallow.

compared to the UFC it's a night at the opera

Dolph is a physicist, he's smarter than all you dorks.

>A-At least it's better than real fighting haha!
49-1

What about field of dreams

Look, MMAfag, I'd rather keep the thread on the OP's topic than have it degenerate into another mma-boxing shitfest.

Based

What a likeable man.

>McGregor wouldn't get half the media attention he's getting right now if it wasn't for Mayweather.

Take that MMA fags.

Based Dolph

Baseball movies>>>>Boxing movies.
There isn't even a competition.

Like what?

Name one baseball movie as good as Raging Bull

The Sandlot.
>muh butthurt bull is kino

Because boxing is actually pretty cinematic sports. It has a potential to provide not only a human story, but also some good action.

grappling drills are relaxing as fuck

I prefer a day practicing judo than a day improving my boxing desu

lifting weights and bodybuilding must be the easiest shit by far, only harder than fucking soccer or something like that

Guys punching each other in the face is definitely better from a cinematic perspective than guys rolling on the floor on top of each other. There's a reason action movies where characters fight for their lives with no rules always have a lot of flashy punches and kicks and not a lot of grappling.

Yeah, because you'd get fucking wrecked in a real argument about this kek.

You... I like you.

I bet you would play chess only if it made you intelligent in real life

Not him but Kingdom was a great show that made MMA look entertaining.

Yeah sure. That's the reason.

Boxing is very easy to translate into a film. It's an individual sport (so the focus is solely placed on two people) and there's a ton of build-up between the fights (which gives the writer a convenient opportunity to flesh out the two characters before their fight). Plus the fight itself is easy to choreograph since it's just punching, compare that to football where you would need to make sure that all 22 players are in the correct position and the delivery of each ball is absolutely perfect.

No one fucking cares about baseball.

>no sport manlier than boxing.

I'm tired of boxing movies, they're formulaic as shit. You can bet that you have your protagonist that comes from a poor working-class family, he takes up the sport to support his family/because he got beat up by a gang of street thugs, he's taught by a washed-up old boxer, he has an arrogant/rich rival who he fights at the end, etc...

>no one cares about THE American Dream sport
Yeah, sure. Even non-Americans respect the Dream aspect of baseball, how it's a team-game that can still be focused on each exceptional hitter or pitcher without getting bogged down in game rules or lazy physicality.

baseball is 100x more fun to play than to watch

Actors love the idea of getting jacked and being a tough guy, they often have a complex about being manlets who play dress up for a living

>I don't think any other athletes in any other sport go through as much as boxers do.

Name some.

>" Hand to hand, is the basis of all combat! Only a fool trusts his life to a weapon."

>calling a man with a degree in Chemical Engineering a physicist.

Listen to me you god damn heathen fuck. Engineering is harder and more demanding then physics. I have a BS in Material Engineering and another in Physics. The vast majority of people majoring in Physics are edgy autistic fucks wearing fedoras and using vapes in buildings. That said was friends with one normal guy in Physics, he got a full ride at Clemson for his Ph.d. I'm like 90% sure he got it on the fact they did interviews and he wasn't autistic because others in the physics department had better GPA's and more research and didn't get shit from them.

>tfw when he lives off a 20,000 a year stipend busting ass for his Ph.d and the engineers went out and started at around $30-$35 hourly.

That's true of all sports, isn't it? I'll play a whole bunch of sports but I get bored shitless watching any sport on tv. Boxing can be a bit awe-inspiring for those few moments when you see someone dodge a punch lightning-fast and then counter-punch faster than you'd be able to react, the highlights basically. But the meat of the match is still more boring than doing it yourself.

>but it seems boxing is the only one considered high art.

What about athletics? Chariots of Fire won 4 Oscars

Gallipolli won like 10 different awards.

at least you can talk! who are you?

Remember the Titans is the best American Football movie of all time.

>Engineering is harder and more demanding then physics

Engineers do work harder because they are dumber, I agree with that.
