The Main Event is a 1979 American sports romantic comedy film starring Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal, written by Gail Parent, directed by Howard Zieff, and produced by Jon Peters and Streisand.
Production
Renee Missell wanted to do a film about a woman who "owned" a boxer. Missell and partner Howard Rosenman set up a deal at MGM under Daniel Melnick and hired Gail Parent and Andrew Smith to write a script. Initially the proposed stars were Nick Nolte and Susan Blakely from Rich Man, Poor Man. Melnick was replaced as head of production by Richard Shepherd who had the script rewritten by Bob Kaufman as a vehicle for Diana Ross and Burt Reynolds.
The film was offered to Ryan O'Neal when Goldie Hawn was going to star. The producers then proposed Diana Ross to appear in the lead, but O'Neal refused. It later was learned that O'Neal and Ross had been in a brief relationship and had an acrimonious split.
Eventually the film was offered to Barbra Streisand. More writers worked on it, including the team of Charles Shyer and Alan Mandal, and original writer Gail Patrick. The project went from MGM to First Artists.
Other titles for the film were Knockout and The Woman and the Boxer.
Filming started in October 1978 with a budget of $7 million.
