Teils teils.
Der Fight zwischen Tyson und Oaks geht eher in Richtung Fiktion, aber die Idee dass ein amtierender HW Champ in den Knast geht und die Frage wie er sich dort gg diverse Schwerverbrecher/Killer etc. schlagen würde haben sich die Filmemacher gestellt.
Desweiteren erläutern die beiden Filmemacher dass schon viele Price Fighters Probleme mit dem Gesetz hatten, was ja unumstritten so ist. Ibeabuchi wäre wohl der echte Monroe "Undisputed" Hutchens.
Schau mal Stellen aus dem englischen Wiki Text:
Hill and Giler were having lunch one day and discussed Mike Tyson, who was sentenced to prison for rape in 1992. Giler said they thought "it's amazing how no studio has made a film out of this basic situation of the heavyweight champion of the world going to prison, the toughest environment in the world," said Giler.
[4] Hill went and wrote some paragraphs about the idea then he and Giler wrote a full script.
[5]
However Hill says while the Tyson case was the departure point, "There are a number of prize fighters who have been in trouble with the law. Our story looks at how a tough guy and celebrity would handle life in prison. The more we wrote, the more we wrote away from the Tyson story."
[6] Hill says he was really interested in what happened when "a heavyweight champion goes to the toughest environment possible in American culture, the American prison system."

Weiter erwähnenswert ist aber auch, dass der HW Champ George "Iceman" Chambers u. a. deshalb gegen Hutchens verliert, da man nicht nach Queensberry- sondern den alten Londoner Preisboxregeln boxte, an die Hutchens bereits gewohnt war und die Chambers nicht kannte.
