Especially when one of the stipulations was they couldn't have any training while he himself was an amateur boxer. What a horrible way to look at things though, if somebody doesn't like the dreck he produces he'll just beat them up.

i agree with the petition thing - if he can get away with it - whatever. do you blame him if people continue to see his movies ?
it should be the critics - then nobody... thats it.
i disagree with the boxing thing though - that was frigging brilliant on his part.
i dont believe that there was a problem with the critics having training .. i know Chris trained, and one of the others - the oungest one - boxed as a hobby or something.
as it was - he didnt punish anyone - most of them just turtled anyway - so he didnt hit them at all.
the guys involved all got publicity for it and in some cases found they liked Boll (because in person - he's a pretty cool guy)
i think Boll presented these guys with a pretty unique opportunity - i would definately had jumped at the chance - and had a lot of fun with it - i know Chris had a blast.
Chris also had a film crew follow him around and they're making a film (Raging Boll) that looks like it's going to be quite a laugh.
a lot of good came out of that .. moreso than most of his films :)
