* DoingItForTheArt: Creator/AntoineFuqua had no money to pay Music/JamesHorner to compose the film, due to the film's short budget. However, Horner did not care as he loved the idea of the film, and he decided to do it for free.
* DyeingForYourArt: Since Creator/JakeGyllenhaal had to lose thirty pounds for his role in Nightcrawler, he only needed to gain fifteen pounds for the role of Billy Hope by training twice a day, seven days a week.
* InMemoriam: Some prints of the film, at the end of the credits, have "In Memory of Our Friend Music/JamesHorner," who died in a plane crash days before the film opened for release.

* ActorAllusion: 50 Cent playing a crooked boxing manager is likely at least partly a reference to the fact 50 Cent has dabbled in boxing promotion since 2012.

* DivorcedInstallment: Was originally written with Music/{{Eminem}} in mind for the lead and was a sequel to his film ''Film/EightMile''. However, he turned it down and the film was re-written, with Creator/JakeGyllenhaal taking place as lead though the boxing element from the original script stayed. Never the less, Eminem still stayed on aboard for the soundtrack.
