Boxing: In and Out of the Ring

2001 · 94 min

A sober, inside-the-ropes look at boxing's money and corruption that plays like a patient crime investigation.

Overview
"An investigative documentary that takes viewers inside the high-stakes business of boxing. It is an unprecedented look at the inner workings of the fight game from both sides of the ropes with access to the FBI's investigation of the International Boxing Federation and a ringside seat at the contract negotiation for the most lucrative deal in the sport's history."
