| Trivia |
+ The story was inspired by the article "Resurrecting the Champ" by J.R. Moehringer which appeared in the Los Angeles Times Magazine in 1997; although the article indeed purportedly focused on Bob Satterfield, there are various other differences with the true story. Moehringer, who had already won a Pulitzer Prize, had no children, and his father was not well-known though he did abandon his family when the writer was an infant.
+ Like Erik Kernan, JR Moehringer never got to know his father.
+ Producer Marc Frydman, who had worked with Lurie on "The Contender" and
later in "Commander in Chief", was certain that Rod Lurie was the perfect
candidate to direct this movie.
+ Director Rod Lurie used to be an entertainment journalist and boxed at
West Point.
