Title: 70s/80s film with a scene where a rich woman wants to 'buy' a boxer Post by: JJWX on March 28, 2020, 01:31:48 PM I remember very little of this movie, i most likely saw it ob cable in the early 80s or thereabouts. It involved boxing but it was not a sports type movie, more of a 'caper'. I think it was likely about gangsters., may have been set years ago (or not), and I swear the woman was Lauren Hutton yet I can't find the film under her name so probably a similar leading lady.
She played a rich woman who spent a lot of money on quick, brief relationships with men. There was a fight, and the winner was a tall, muscular black guy. She was peering through the door to the locker room where the boxer was being sponge bathed. She sent a guy in to negotiate for some time with him ans stood outside looking almost uncontrollably excited. As I remember, the boxers agent said the guy wasnt too into women, and the other guy said 'I think she is more interested in his ability to withstand pain'. Anyone remember it?

I doubt it's 'Main Event' either, I think this was a darker, slightly more adult movie.
