Freddie Welsh , They were hungry blokes back then indeed .. But the next day it was cold and snowy, and I walked all day and couldn't get a job or a meal. So that night I was standing there at the lunch counter when my friends came in again. "Billy Elmer will give you five dollars to fight tonight," they said. I was too hungry to stand it any longer. Five dollars meant a thick steak and some browned potatoes and a piece of pie and a cup of real coffee. I stood there and thought with my mouth watering. And then I went upstairs and I won my fight.[13] Welsh describing the moment he took his first paid fight in an interview taken 26 April 1913, with Herbart Corey in The New York Globe

If anyone has read Eubanks book, I'm sure they would agree it would translate well onto the big screen
i wouldn't argue with any of the fighters who have been mentioned having a film made about them.except henry cooper.
