50 Cent executive produced TAPIA, a documentary that is slated to debut on HBO December 16 at 11 pm EST, according to stunnalife.
The G Unit film details the life of world champion boxer Johnny Tapia and uses narration and archival footage to tell the story of the fighter, who died in 2012. He was 45.
Tapia was a five-time word champion in three different weight classes, but also suffered from drug addition and mental illness.
TAPIA, which features Mike Tyson and others, was an official selection at the 2013 Los Angeles Film Festival, according to its trailer, which is below.
In June, 50 Cent announced that he was executive producing the B.M.F. film.
HBO, thats a big move for our godfather
His battles with Danny Romero were tremendous. I wanna see this documentary.
Tapia’s mother was murdered in front of him. He was fucked up, but for a time he was a pretty good fighter.
Big homie stays winning

Ease on out of music Curtis…thats right. This is the best thing that can happen to hiphop-> Curtis no longer making music….thats right!
How does Curtis making music affect your life? It’s not like he’s burning up the charts or dominating radio. As far as mainstream hip-hop is concerned he stopped making music years ago…
When was the last time this Donkey broke an artist without the help of Jimmy Iovine and Interscope?
NEVER
That goes to show that Yayo, Buck and Banks were only successful because of the Interscope and Universal
GTFOH…Dick Ridin F{M}aggot
What does that have to do with Tapia?
whens the last time Snoop broke an artist? Whens the last time Rick Ross broke an artist that didn’t already have their own buzz or deal before MMG (Wale was with Intercope, Stalley had his own buzz, Meek was with T.I., the rest are bum status)
When is the last time Nas broke a new artist? Shit has never ever broke an artist? Bravehearts don’t count LOL.
How about Eminem or Dre, what new artists are they “breaking”? Slaughterhouse, Yelawolf and Kendrick were all doing their thing successfully before they scooped them up.
neva been a huge fan of music, but def respect his business acumen, really excited to watch this, TAPIA was an entertaining and skilled fighter, with alotta heart
SO from 2005 – 2009 You did not listen to rap music
2003 – 2009
