    "Champion Miguel Cotto and challenger Shane Mosley both weighed 146 1/4 for Saturday night’s WBA welterweight fight at Madison Square Garden, the main event of a Top Rank/Golden Boy card formerly known as “Fast and Furious.”

    The Garden and the promoters were left scrambling after receiving a cease and desist notice from attorneys representing the 2003 Ludacris film “2 FAST 2 FURIOUS,” who claimed that the Cotto-Mosley slogan violated their copyright. This necessitated a last-minute makeover in which hundreds of fight credentials had to be reprinted, this time without the “Fast and Furious” logo. Whether the originals were shredded or will imminently turn up on EBay remains unlearned, but the glitch resulting from the threatened injunction left many reporters still standing in line for the new, non-offending credentials by the time yesterday’s weigh-in commenced."

    Does anyone find this to be ridiculous?

    :-( What a farce. You can never now use the phrase "Fast and Furious" on anything that is not that movie? It is not like anyone is likly to get a boxing match confuzed with a movie about cars... people being wankers for the sake of it!!
