Muhammad Ali’s (Dexter Darden) refusal to serve in the US Army was effectively a death-knell for his career, as he was vindictively and systematically ostracized from boxing. He was denied a license for more than three of what should have been his peak years, until senator Leroy Johnson paved the way for his comeback in – of all places – Georgia, birthplace of the Ku Klux Klan.
It's here that Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist picks up as, sensing an opportunity to make a killing by assuming a leading role in Atlanta’s reinvention as "Black Vegas", Chicken Man throws an exclusive party on the night of Ali’s return bout against Jerry Quarry on October 26, 1970, inviting the highest black rollers from across the nation.
The balaclava-clad gangsters with sawn-off shotguns that make off with everyone’s cash and jewelry? As far as Moten’s concerned, they were in cahoots with Chicken Man, and none will live to see the light of day. Based on the podcast of the same name, read on for where to watch Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist online and from anywhere.
