Miles himself was in a near-fatal car crash just one year before his friend died in a car crash. He now wears a green bracelet that reads "Buckle up for Bo" in his honor. The bracelet can be seen in most of his films except for when it doesn't fit his character.
The movie was filmed in 24 days on a budget of six million dollars, according to an interview with Ben Younger on KCRW's The Treatment.
James Burch field Jr is portraying his dad, James Burch field Sr.
After the first fight the doctor says Vinny is in ketosis. This is a condition in which there is so little sugar in the body that fat is broken into ketones for energy. For diabetics this can be fatal, but ketogenic diets are well known for weight loss and even being studied for control of epilepsy.
Miles Teller trained with boxing trainer Darrell Foster, who'd trained fighters like Sugar Ray Leonard and helped Will Smith become Muhammad Ali for 2001's Ali.
"Kevin Rooney: I mean, you just don't know how to give up. Vinny Pazienza: No, I do. Trust me, I do. I know exactly how to give up. You know what scares the shit out of me, Kev? Is that it's easy."
"[Last lines] Female Reporter: People are calling this one of the most unlikely comebacks in sports history. What do you attribute it to? Vinny Pazienza: Hum... Yeah, I don't know. I had a lot of help. Female Reporter: But you've also had a lot of adversity. You've had issues with management, conflicts of interest... Vinny Pazienza: Yeah, well, the boxing world looks shiny from the outside. It's filled with promises that... Most of them turn out to be lies. You can't rely on anyone. Female Reporter: So what would you say the biggest deception was? What was the biggest lie you were told? Vinny Pazienza: [pause] It's not that simple. Female Reporter: Why not? Vinny Pazienza: No, that's the biggest lie I was ever told: "It's not that simple." And it's a lie they tell you over and over again. Female Reporter: [pause] What's not simple? Vinny Pazienza: Any of it. All of it. It's how they get you to give up. They say, "It's not that simple, Vinny." Female Reporter: [pause] So, what's the truth? Vinny Pazienza: [pause] That it is. That if you just do the thing that they tell you, you can't, then it's done. And you realize it is that simple... And that it always was."
