Trivia
Major studios in Hollywood declined to finance this movie but because of Paramount's enthusiasm of the material, the studio executed a right of first refusal. The script then ended up at producer Ryan Kavanaugh who then reworked it to make it more accessible and family-friendly (Kavanaugh self-funded the $25 million movie including the marketing campaign). When it came to the distribution stage, Paramount beat three other studios in a bidding contest for video and theatrical distribution. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: During the Shea Neary/Micky Ward fight, the boxers were weighed in at "10 stones 6 pounds" each. 10 stones equal 140 pounds. That would make them both Welterweights. In reality, they fought at Junior Welterweight (limit of 140 pounds). At the actual weigh in 2000, Neary weighed in at 139 pounds and Ward at 140 pounds, the limit for Jr. Welterweights.
