Wiki.
The Super Fight was a fictional boxing match between Rocky Marciano and Muhammad Ali shot in 1969 and released in 1970. At the time, Ali and Marciano were the only undefeated heavyweight champions in history and fans often debated who would win had they met in their primes. Ali and Marciano were filmed sparring for 75 one-minute rounds producing several possible scenarios for a genuine fight, with the result claimed to have been determined using probability formulas entered into a computer.
The final film was only shown once in select cinemas around the world, grossing $5 million ($38 million adjusted for inflation) from 1,500 theaters across North America and Europe. After its run in theaters, the film was broadcast on television before eventually being released as a DVD over three decades later.
