Bleed for This
Uh...
Vinny went to the wrong hotel.
The wrong hotel?
Yeah.
Motherf***er, how many Caesar
palace they got in Las Vegas?
- He'll be here. -We are
gonna start the weigh-in.
If Pazienza is
not here by 7:
00,he will be disqualified.
Sh*t.
Ash.
Ash, answer the phone!
Hello?
Tell Vinny they're going ahead.
They're going ahead.
Just hold them off.
- Tell them I'm coming.
- He's coming.
Where's he at? Where's he at?
He's on the f***ing bicycle.
No, his weight.
What f***in' weight's he at?
Where you at, Vinny?
I'm comin'!
He's comin'.
139 pounds and three quarters.
F***.
Tell Vinny that
Roger made weight.
- Where the f***'s your boy?
- What are you so worried about?
Where the hell you have to be?
Beating your pizza-faced,
Liberace son back to Boston.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
We're from Providence!
He'll be here. He'll be here.
Calm down.
He'll be here. Don't you worry about it.
He's gonna be here.
He'll be here.
He's gonna be here.
He gonna make it?
Got a little surprise for you.
Get your motherfucking dick
out my face.
He can't take his eyes off me.
He still looks big.
This is gonna be close.
140 pounds even.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Behind me the casino here
at Caesar's,
and, yes, the Eve
of the big fight.
Roger Mayweather
defending against Vinny Pazienza
for the WBC super lightweight
championship.
Bottom line is that I'm willing to
die in that ring tomorrow night.
I don't think he's ready
to make that sacrifice.
Damn straight,
'cause there ain't no need to.
Boy thinking about dying
instead of boxing.
That should tell you all
you need to know.
Motherf***er,
tomorrow night you gone.
Yeah? I'm gonna rain on you
like a thunderstorm.
You scary.
Yeah.
Do me a favor. Tomorrow
you get yourself a tic tac.
If you're this close to me tomorrow,
I'm gonna knock you the f*** out.
You all right, champ?
Yeah, yeah. I'm feelin' good.
Yeah.
I know you are.
You need anything?
Nah, I'm good.
- What you doin'? You goin' to bed?
- Yeah. Big day tomorrow.
Hey, you should hit the hay too.
Yeah, definitely, pop.
Okay. Good night.
Good night.
Five the fever! Wally
cleaver loves the beaver!
Yeah.
All right. Hey, hey.
Blow on those.
Yeah!
Baby. You're up 100k,
all right?
Shouldn't you just
call it quits?
Yeah, yeah.
Just order another OJ.
I'm not thirsty.
What are you doing here?
I'm splitting tens.
Don't you think you should be
getting some rest for tomorrow?
- It is tomorrow.
- Yeah, relax. Just go ahead.
All right. Yeah.
Okay. Yeah.
Mmm.
Too many. Too many! Yes!
Mmm!
Baby, come on!
Vinny! Vinny! God, Vinny!
Yeah, baby.
Yeah. Yeah! Too many!
Oh.
He's an animal.
Who splits tens
on a $20,000 hand?
You shut up.
Come on, Vinny! Come on!
Oh, solid right hand
inside by Mayweather.
Pazienza stopped in his tracks.
Got his attention
pretty good right there.
What are you doing?
Get in there!
Solid right hand
right on the eye.
That hurt him.
I question, though,
whether we'll ever see
Pazienza in the ring again
after taking a beating
like this.
Knock him down!
Right back.
I'm telling you,
he's got a lot of heart.
- More action after the bell.
I can take that all day!
You got nothing! Come on!
Come on!
I got it, I got it.
I'm fine.
I got it, I got it.
I got this. I got it.
Give us your score.
Okay, I've got it eight rounds to
three, 107-101, favor Roger Mayweather.
I think he's winning
the fight big...
Good right hand there.
Best right hand of the fight.
- Right on that eye.
- Why let it go any farther?
Well, because he's a fighter.
- He wants to finish the fight.
- That's true.
- What's going on? -Nothing, ma.
He's still in his corner.
I'm stopping that fight.
I'm not waiting for a doctor
to make the decision.
You're not gonna win on points.
You gotta knock him out.
Vinny, you gotta knock him out.
Hey, champ, champ.
You all right?
Yeah. Yeah, fine, pop.
Okay. You got this.
You got this.
Now let's bury him!
Come on!
Two hands, Vinny!
Oh! God...
His eye. Work that cut.
You've got ketosis.
- What does that mean?
- I'm just dehydrated, pop.
We're in the desert, Vinny. I
see a lot of dehydration cases.
This isn't that.
Doc, I've been doing it this way forever.
This is how it goes for me.
Well, you can't keep doing
it like this. Yeah.
Thank you, doc.
Appreciate it.
No.
It's weird, ma.
It's not weird.
Don't put so much salt on it.
I'm not. I'm putting parsley. You would
if you didn't knock this thing over.
Stop crying about the
f***ing elephant already.
There we go.
Honest.
I'm not crying.
Hey, you want to set the table, John?
All right. All right.
Go.
Hey, ma,
you watch the fight yet?
Oh, no. No, I can't
watch you get hurt.
Yeah, well, you know
I don't get hurt.
Where's the tape at?
It's in the VCR.
Okay.
Can you put that there? Will
you move this off the table?
I can't do two things
at once, can I?
For the WBC
super lightweight title.
If will and want
to alone was all that mattered,
Pazienza can beat this guy, but
will can only take you so far
unless you can bring
some skill along with it.
It's called an old-fashioned
"paint job" in Philadelphia.
And for about
the half-dozenth time
they scrimmage after the bell.
And Lou Duva goes after
Roger Mayweather.
Now, that's one of the silliest
things he could ever have done.
Well,
then Mayweather punched him.
Lou!
You're talking about a guy
in his 60s.
Vinny, shut it off.
We're eatin'.
Okay. Yeah, I'm comin'.
That's not professional.
How'd it feel to take a shot
from a world champ?
He hits like a altar boy.
What's the next move for Vinny
after this fight?
I don't know
if there's gonna be a next.
Now's not the time
for an announcement,
but as far as I'm concerned, Vinny
Pazienza shouldn't fight no more.
Now boxing's been good to him,
and he's been good to boxing,
and that's where it should end.
Excuse me. I'm sorry.
Come here, Vinny.
I'm good.
Come here.
I'll have more.
Ridiculous.
I don't know what you expect.
- Be happy with what you got.
- It's gonna fall out of his head.
Pop, stay calm, all right?
I need to set up the next fight.
Vinny, Angelo. Come on in.
Angelo.
Uh, what a surprise.
- How you doin', Vinny?
- They block the driveway?
We need to talk.
You should have called first. You know
I don't take meetings in the house.
Yeah, and you should have thought
before opening your f***ing mouth
and telling the whole world
my son should retire.
All right, all right.
Come on now.
Lou, let's talk.
Come on.
Fine. Let's talk.
Vinny ain't done, Lou.
And even if you think he is,
you got no business
announcing it on HBO.
What the f***.
Vinny'll decide when he's done.
I wish we'd spoken first,
but it's not a perfect world.
It's fine.
It's all right. Lou.
- I need another fight.
What's with the deep f***in' breath? You
owe him another fight in his contract.
Pop.
Lookit, Vinny.
All I'm saying is that I think
