Uwe Boll Challenges Michael Bay to boxing match

[WhiteFu]

Hack video game movie director Uwe Boll has had enough of AWESOME Hollywood action director Michael Bay’s disrespect, and has challenged to the Transformers director to a 12-round boxing match to settle it all.

“Michael Bay responded to my note about him in a very insulting way for me. He said that he doesn’t care about me and this was very insulting because I care about him and I think that with the money he has for his movies, he sucks big time. I think it’s time to meet in the ring actually.

So it’s my message to Michael Bay, Michael, in between your pool parties in LA or your casting sessions with the strippers you should start training now. And I’m sure you look good, you look thin. I saw you at the Hollywood Film Festival, I think you’re a fit guy and you do like private karate bullshitAsia bullshit crap fighting stuff in LA where you think you’re super cool that you do that with your 500 bucks trainer everyday.

So let’s meet in the ring in September or October. Pay-per-view. Mandalay Bay. Las Vegas. Twelve rounds of boxing. Boll against Bay. And it’s also independent against the studio system and I think that this day in Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas we will clear it up who is not only the better director who is also able to fight more for that what he wants.”

I don't care for Uwe Boll...but I'd love to see this.

[Lair of the Shadow MaDaBa]

Why don't we just skip a step and throw a $100 million budget in between them and watch them fight to the death?

[shiranui]

When I saw the words "death match" in the title, I immediately thought of those old FMW matches with exploding double hell barbed wire time bomb cages and stuff like that. Basically, if this fight happens, it needs to happen inside an FMW-style exploding cage.

This is just really funny.

He said that he doesn’t care about me and this was very insulting because I care about him

Aw, that's sho shweet!

And I’m sure you look good, you look thin. I saw you at the Hollywood Film Festival, I think you’re a fit guy

Wow. Boll sounds really, uh, in love here.

I think that this day in Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas we will clear it up who is not only the better director who is also able to fight more for that what he wants.

So...we should determine who's the best film director based on who's the best boxer? Does this make Floyd Mayweather the new Martin Scorsese?

Boll vs Bay - Whoever loses, we win.

[thwak is T.hawk]

I'd pay to see it!

That better be on the match poster or I riot!

What is Boll's obsession with BOXING critics and other detractors?

Just because he can beat them up it doesn't mean what they say means any less, and it doesn't mean they'll stop. One day I hope Quentin Jackson or somebody like him talks crap about Boll movies.

Uwe Boll is a coward. He's always challenging people who "disrespect him" to a boxing match. Normally that would be all good if neither party involved knew how to box, but Boll is a FORMER BOXER. So he is going to win no matter what.

Same thing happened when he fought those 5 movie critics. Funny thing is, none of the people he fought said anything bad about him until AFTER their fights with him. Most of them said the way he was boxing was as if he was actually trying to KILL them.

He only does boxing because it is the only sport that he actually participated in. He's a former boxer, so he knows he'll have the advantage over any critic or movie director he fights.

Oh yeah I know that, that why I find it all the more pathetic. He thinks just because he's challenging some random Joe to something he's good at it proves they are wrong.

It would be like if Michael Jordan was arguing to somebody that the sun revolved around the Earth, and then challenged them to a game of basketball to prove he's right.

Ok seriously, if Boll can't take criticism, he's in the wrong business.
Not everyone likes THE GODFATHER. You don't here Coppalla whining.

[erisi236]

Uwe Boll should challenge himself to make a really great movie.

[Non Banjoble Tokens]

Uwe Boll should challenge the guys who made Meet The Spartans and Epic Movie.

[EZ: Brainy Bae]

God/ Buddha/ Flying Spaghetti Monster, please make this happen.

[4TheGlory]

Honestly if this happens, I hope Bay beats his ass

Same here.

Bay's movies are far more entertaining than Boll's. Bay's made Bad Boys, The Rock, and Transformers. Boll on the other hand hasn't made anything half as entertaining.

To Boll's credit, in Copolla's case, at least SOMEONE likes the movie (and I can tell I'm one of them. Oh yeah).

I second that. Honestly, Transformers made me have a lot of respect for Bay for making such a badass and fun movie with such an unusual and hard to work on topic.

I could like Boll as a bad yet friendly director in the same way I like Ed Wood if it wasn't for that douchey attitude. I know film making is his life, his job and his passion, but critics are paid to give their opinion on the movies they saw, and that's just what they do, so leave them alone, mister Boll. You do your job, they do theirs.

Also, people have the right to have their opinions, even if they're professional directors. Boxing someone because they don't like your works is just cheap, sick, and amazingly childish. Well actually, children don't do that, unless they're hyperactive.

And seriously, how the F is knocking someone out supposed to prove who's the better director? Especially if YOU are a trained, experienced boxer and they are rookies who probably never boxed seriously in their lives?
Oh and please, don't give us the "innocent-and-pure-indy vs evil-capitalist-studios" BS. No independent director gives two s***s about your personal problems with Mr Bay and critics.
