Re: < Larry Holmes was kicked out of the IBHF>
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.

Ug the politics never end in boxing even in the HOF.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

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.

And the Hall was making a profit off Larry.

Re: < Larry Holmes was kicked out of the IBHF>
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
