Now commences a series of events it would be useless to describe, and which are eventually almost impossible to understand, involving a troubled lawyer (Emily Mortimer), a movie star (Tim Allen), the star's shifty manager (Joe Mantegna) and the world of a pay - for -
TV fight promoter (Ricky Jay).
His new agent, Jerry Perenchio of the Ali - Frazier
Fight of the Century fame, has bought Riggs for about $ 75,000 from Jackie Barnett, the Hollywood
promoter who put the Riggs - Court
TV package together.
