Production problems, litigation, and financial problems
The production was plagued with problems, with cast members later recounting to the press that they had been provided with insufficient food by the producers during the filming, and that there had been a lack of medical attention when an injury occurred.
The show's financier, Sean M. Morrison, foreclosed on rights to the show after the original producer, Lyle Howry Productions, did not repay a $600,000 loan. The producer had experienced financial problems from the start of the production.
Several fighters launched a lawsuit in Wisconsin against Lyle Howry Productions for nonpayment.
Morrison filed a lawsuit in Illinois federal court against several competitors in which he charged that they had misappropriated trade secrets by revealing the outcome of the series.
