FIGHT NIGHT: THE MILLION DOLLAR HEIST Packs a Punch in Atlanta
Consider this a heads up, Atlanta. You better tighten your laces, get in fighting shape, and get ready for an entertainment knockout. Why? The highly anxiously awaited TV show, Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist, is about to pack a powerful punch in the city. Supported by big names like Kevin Hart, Samuel L. Jackson, and Taraji P. Henson, Fight Night is gearing up to be an event to remember.
Plot and Purpose
Now, in case you’re in the dark about what the show is all about, Fight Night is a series that revolves around an armed robbery on the night of Muhammad Ali’s historic 1970 comeback fight. The incident didn’t just affect the man who was robbed but also left a significant impact on the Atlanta community that’s still felt today.
But the show isn’t just highlighting black history and culture in the city. It’s going a step further and taking action to support it too. How? By shining a light on local black-owned businesses in Atlanta.
Painter E.L. Chisolm and Muralist Yuzly Mathurin
But wait! There’s more. As part of an overall creative project, Peacock, the company backing the series, has drafted local artists E.L. Chisolm and Yuzly Mathurin to develop unique murals throughout Atlanta. These pieces of art have been commissioned to further promote the narrative of the show and uplift the local creative scene, and they’ll be popping up in spots all over the city.
And what’s a 70s show without a bit of nostalgic paraphernalia? Peacock has worked with car customization company West Coast Customs and their student academy to design a real-life replica of Chicken Man’s 1966 Cadillac Calais, the ride featured in the series. Keep your eyes peeled for it as it tours around the city.
