    NO !!!

    Muhammad Ali's marketing team actually had '2000' Dark-Blue T-Shirts printed up, and sold them at
    $7.00 apiece in New York City that day.




    Ali's Marketing team did that not Ali Hell theyre still selling memorabilia on the Ali website as fast as they can make it
    Muhammad Ali 'was' his Marketing Team.

    It was his idea for the ........... GORILLA

    He should get all credit for the 1975 'SCUM BAG of the Year'

    When he was promoting fights I didn't mind the hype and the insults and the derogatory and incitetful behavior and language. But in between fights sometimes he would not fight for almost one year he would say and do the most insulting things to other human beings both black and white that he really cannot be looked upon as such a spiritual person like he likes to portray himself.

    The man was closer to a 'Scum-Bag' than a Humanitarian.

    He is not a person to look up to. For those who do, they have little self-esteem.

    Yes, you can appreciate his boxing talents and achievements inside the Boxing Ring.

    But, was he really a special individual outside the Ring.

    I think not. He was just another Celebrity looking for publicity.

    I think THAT's the nail on the head, he was nothing special, he happened to be born with good looks, and took advantage of that like anyone else would, hell, like I did, too bwAAAAHAHAHAHA

    You are the only one with low self esteem Bill. After all these years holding a grudge this long makes you very shallow.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
