8/10
Very humorous tale of the intersection of sports and profits
5 March 2020
A spoof on Heavyweight Boxer Mike Tyson, allegedly unscrupulous promoter Don King and the vulturous ways of promoters in the sport of boxing.

James 'The Grim Reaper' Roper (Wayans) is destroying his opponents. Ticket sales are down. Rev Fred Sultannnn (Jackson) needs ticket sales up so he can pay Roper the $10 million already owed.

He believes manufacturing a "race issue" will do that. So he finds a German retiree, remakes him into an Irish (a boxing nationality favorite) and avoids the real next contender.

Very entertaining. Strong language - Jackson is in it. Cheech Marin is excellent as a principle-less lackey of Sultan. Method Man does "I bring the pain."

Wayans is off the charts. "I came back to hit him with a left but his jorrhh was shattered. I'm the greatest of wallll time. I'm the greatest in the wurlll. That means all over the place. Even in China."
