    It's Pacheco. It's bound to be a pack of lies whatever it is.

    I doubt so much stuff ferdie says im begining to question if he was ever a real doctor. He was proved right about Ali's health but even a broken clock is right twice a day. It wouldnt suprice me if he was an unregistered quack.

    I think he meant to say he was drunk while watching that fight, just as he was drunk during most of the fights he called for Showtime.

    First of all, yeah, get the spelling right! It's Fraidie Pacheco, the Fright Doctor!:scaredas: Secondly, what does Jake have to say about this allegation?

    Pacheco and Burt Sugar are ancient and in failing mental health.They should both be put out to pasture.This is just an "old wives tale" as the saying goes.

    That's a brand new picture of her mate, taken a few days ago at some conference promoting Black Swan.

    Aronofsky introduced her by saying, "well...what can I say....the icon....the legend...Winona Ryder" :good
