[gingeralbino]

personal stuff/outside the gym time etc
previous fight footage

[Realism]

Don't let them talk about how poor they were....please...

And care to give names? Big time or small time boxers?

Get some good shots of these

-Good training shots
-Good sparring footage
-Trainer dropping some knowledge
-Highlight clips of previous fights
-Minimal personal scenes
-Good music

get the boxers to speak about what drives them in the ring to win. try to make it personal but what the core aspect of the personal angle about boxing.

LMFAO @ Realism I just noticed your sig

Like the posters above said, show a lot of training and fight footage but also include the fighters talking about their social/cultural background, how and why they started boxing and what motivates them to compete in this sport.

No matter how cliche this may seem, it's part of the sports history, fact is, Boxing is a poor man's sport. Who doesn't love a success story of rags to riches?..

Most kids from the Valley's, or rich areas don't wake up one day and say..hmm I wanna beat some kids face in, Most of the ones that do beat a kids face in is because they live oppressed and it's a necessity to survive.

If there was a formula to create a successful boxing documentary, everybody would have made one already.

If you want to create something, then create.

That's a stereotype. I was born in a rich family but I can't stand people who look down on others.

I've rejected anything materialistic ever since I was 8, and I've loved fighting longer than that.
