Jackson, Jeff Goldblum, Damon Wayans, Peter Berg, Jon Lovitz, Cheech Marin, Jamie Foxx, Corbin Bernsen, John Rhys-Davies   This comedy about the boxing world is based loosely on the style of fight-promoter Don King. Samuel L. Jackson plays the King-like character, the Reverend Fred Sultan whose hopes are pinned on heavyweight champion James "The Grim Reaper" Roper (Damon Wayans). From backroom promotion tactics to ringside fight scenes, this is one funny movie.
