The Clay-Liston fight is depicted as being shown on television in the homes of Bumpy Johnson and Elijah Muhammad. The fight was televised only on closed circuit television in theaters. In fact, one TV screen displays the introductory slide, "TNT", at the beginning of the bout. "TNT", in this case, stood for "Theater Network Television", which distributed the feed to participating movie theaters and other large venues.
A few minutes before the start of the Clay-Liston bout, an exterior shot is shown on the fight's venue in Miami (Florida), and it appears to be dusk, with the sky still light. The fight began at 10:08-PM, Miami time, and the sun had set more than three hours previous, at 6:20-PM, so the sky would have been dark that close to the start of the fight.
