What's the documentary's slant? Is Maniathis going to show how ALA is trying to hijack Philippine boxing through media and the internet - injecting its culture of mediocrity to Philippine boxing's storied past? Or is Maniathis going to try social documentary and find out how poor, underprivileged kids are being hurt physically and emotionally in the wake of ALA Gym's selfish ambition to prove to itself that it can produce a boxing legend for Cebu like Elorde, or a boxer in the mold of Ilo-ilo's Pancho Villa, GenSan's Pacquiao or at least Manila's Louie Espinosa?
