< Larry Holmes was kicked out of the IBHF>

[Put Em' Up]

Well people I was just told there's more to this story... Apparently Larry is not all innocent.

The persons gonna send me a IM and I will relate the story here whe I have the details....

Stay tuned.

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.

No the money goes to the hall to help keep it running. It is only a profit if someone personally gains. Without these things the hall closes down.

Also there is an agreement before the fighters attend they know they have to help with the weekend.

I think you are confused with what Non Profit means

No, i understand what non profit means...but saying...non profit, and actually being...non profit, are two different things. Oh well.

I understand what you are saying now. I think they are non profit I just think Larry is a guy who does not want to do nothing for nothing so to speak.

He wants the ring though.

Well for starters Larry was never KICKED OFF the premises...

Apparently during the memorabilia show, Larry had a table where family was selling Larry memorabilia. Larry went to his table and wanted to help the sales so he started to sign autographs there on the side. I was told that his stuff was waaay over priced. He had DVDs, Gloves etc. etc. but that the price on things was ridiculous.

Apparently the IBHF noticed this and called Larrys attention. But that was it. The writers over at fightbeat GOT carried away and wrote up the whole thing about him getting kicked out.

Larry did his acceptance speech which was funny so I was told and he got emotional.

So there you have it...

Still like I said in my 1st post, I've read and have been told about some of the things that have gone on. Hopefully things change for the better out there.

Its never black and white (no pun intended) with Holmes. He seems to have that Jake Lamotta-like "I'm going to do what I want, when I want, everyone else be damned" kind of attitude.

Great fighter though... #2 HW of all time IMO
