Mickey RourkeElie Seckbach, the Embedded Correspondent, brings his exclusive video reporting to FanHouse. Check back regularly for more videos.

Oscar-nominated actor Mickey Rourke is the person behind one of the most famous boxing gyms in the world - the Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood. Many big names have worked there, from Manny Pacquiao, to Mike Tyson, to Oscar De La Hoya, to Chris Arreola to you name it. As it turns out, in the early 1990's when Rourke made his comeback to the world of boxing, he moved Freddie Roach from Las Vegas to Hollywood and that's how the gym came to life. In this FanHouse exclusive, we talk to Mickey about boxing, Wild Card and a future movie about Freddie Roach.
