Fans of MILLION DOLLAR BABY plan on staying in Friday night to watch ESPN2's Friday Night Fights - 9:00 PM EST.
ESPN2's FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS is a two hour boxing show that shows a few live fights and cuts back to the studio for all boxing talk. It is the second best television program on American TV (The Sopranos is #1, but FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS is real close). Why should Clint fans be watching this Friday night?
Here's why:
#1. If you were captivated by the drama of Maggie and her desire to be a top female boxer, well FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS is having the top female boxer in the world today fight in the main event. Laila Ali (Muhammad's daughter) is the top female boxer and she will be fighting this Friday night on ESPN2. After watching Laila fight you will be amazed at how truly great a performance Hilary Swank gave in the ring. (I say Swank can beat Ali.)
#2. Every FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS features an in studio boxing guest for the whole two hour program. They talk boxing, answer questions, tell great stories, etc... Well, this Friday night's in studio guest is LUCIA RIJKER - the woman who played the Blue Bear in MILLION DOLLAR BABY. Miss Rijker is a boxer/actress and she will obviously be talking a lot about MILLION DOLLAR BABY, Clint, Hilary Swank, and stories from the film. You can even e-mail her a question that she might answer over the air.
