Corrected entry: The movie is set in the 21st century judging by the ad for 'The Apprentice' on the side of a bus in an early scene, however in the title fight when Maggie is fighting the German woman a commentator refers to Maggie's opponent as the East German champion. East Germany has not existed since 1990.

Correction: This can simply be a slip of the tongue by the commentator who may have meant to say 'Eastern Germany', just as we USA residents say 'Eastern US' without meaning it to be a separate country. He merely dropped the 'ern', perhaps because HE is an old hat who was calling fights back when there actually was an East Germany. As such, a character error, not a movie mistake.
