A boxing movie starring the famed metro Detroit rapper is the previously unidentified film that earlier this year applied — and then withdrew its application — for $8.9 million in Michigan film incentives.

“Southpaw,” about a welterweight boxer battling to put his life and career back together, sought incentives in the first quarter of 2012 as “Untitled MGM Project.” Its estimated in-state spending was about $30.7 million, according to the application.

But the application was withdrawn for “a talent issue,” as the Michigan Film Office put it in the minutes of a March public meeting.
