Rosemarie DeWitt (Sara Wilson) is the granddaughter of the real James J. Braddock. She is the daughter of his daughter Rosemarie, who was portrayed by Ariel Waller in this movie.
Professional boxers played James J. Braddock's opponents. They were told to land their blows as close to Russell Crowe's body as possible. Unfortunately, they sometimes couldn't pull back in time and ended up injuring Crowe.
To film the final fight, the seats were filled with 15,000 blow-up dummies with masks and hats.
Russell Crowe suffered from several concussions and cracked teeth.
The portrayal of Max Baer in this movie was decried by his son and analysts for it's depiction Baer being ruthlessly proud of having killed two opponents in the ring. Baer only killed one person, Frankie Campbell, and it haunted him for the rest of his life. Baer stayed by Campbell's side for 30 minutes waiting for the ambulance to arrive, and spent time with him and his family at the hospital, apologizing to Mrs. Campbell. When Baer heard that he had been pronounced dead the next day, he broke down in tears, and went on to donate his future purse money to the Campbell family. The second referenced opponent, who had been knocked out, died in a later boxing match due to meningitis from a recent bout of illness.
"Jim Braddock: I have to believe that when things are bad I can change them."
"Jim Braddock: You think you're telling me something? Like, what, boxing is dangerous, something like that? You don't think working triple shifts and at night on a scaffold isn't just as likely to get a man killed? What about all those guys who died last week living in cardboard shacks to save on rent money just to feed their family, 'cause guys like you have not quite figured out a way yet to make money off of watching that guy die? But in my profession - and it is my profession - I'm a little more fortunate."
