< Larry Holmes was kicked out of the IBHF>

[rene69]

I met Jeff chandler, Mike Weaver, Julian Jackson, Tony Lopez and Chuck Bodak at a signing in LA, a yr or two ago, and must say that they were all class acts. Chandler seemed very proud to sign my photo. Bodak was the same way. J.Jackson & T. Lopez were very personable, both were very nice guys and jokesters. I caught Lopez outside in the lobby and joked with him a bit, and if it wasn't for my children being with me...i would have bought the guy a drink out of pure gratitude for being just a Great guy. I hate to think that TBHOF is taking advantage of class acts like these.

My son and I went to the induction weekend this year for like the 13th time. It's all about the money now. No more fights at the casino, instead you pay a small fortune to get hearded into the Rusty Rail to listen to some fighters talk and watch some films. Saturday, you get to pay about $130 to go to a banquet and maybe get some autographs. No more Breakfast of Champions which was one of the best things the IBHOF did. I wrote a letter to The Ring after last year's induction stating how the whole thing was becoming less fan friendly. The memoribilia show is still good as are the ringside lectures. It seems that more and more fighters are avoiding the IBHOF induction. In the past there were many fighters on the grounds. Now you're lucky if you see anyone, much less get an autograph. Maybe it's time to get a new director.

I know what it is. Apparently Larry decided to sell his autograph outside, instead of where he was supposed to be signing so he didn't have to share the profits and he got kicked out for it by the executive director of TBHOF...Ed Brophy. Hmmm?? Holmes got kicked out because he wouldn't share the wealth with an organization that's supposed to be NON profit. Go figure!

It is non profit, all proceeds go to keep the hall running. Larry was making a profit.

I am sure Larry was not all "What did I do?" in the matter. I read Larry is very "I do what I want when I want the hell with everyone else"

I also read he changes his mind constantly.

Ever read his book? he is very self serving and complains non stop about everything and why the sport does not consider him the greatest ever. He is jealous of Ali as if Muhammad stole his wife. Very odd fellow
