Muhammad Ali set for farewell visit to UK

[AdamGB]

£400 to look at a man who I hate to say is probably a mere husk of his former glory...

If I can't shake his hand/speak with him then I'd rather watch a fight/documentary about him for free than pay £400 sit and look at him with a bunch of rich arseholes who likely know very little about Ali himself... let alone boxing.

I like how they' glossing it up with a 4 course meal etc... that totally makes it seem like a better deal...

Anybody who has worked in a resturaunt/hotel etc knows how much of a mark up and how cheap food is... will barely cost them anything.

I would pay to meet Ali... but whilst Ali is bigger than Evander Holyfield is - I paid NOTHING to see Holyfield, shake his hand, say hello, get an autograph and a photo with him... so lets put it into perspective.

I'm not paying 400 quid for a shit meal with what will most likely be a bunch of twats just to get a glimpse of Ali.

I remember when I met Hatton for £80 with a 3 course meal. Meal was garbage. Tomato soup which tasted like it had just came out the packet. Roast chicken and veg which was probbably that smart price £2 chicken you get at asda and the veg was cold. And shitty mini cakes for dessert.

I saw him when I was eight when he came to South Shields. It was a huge event with tens of thousands turning out to see him and Ali in an open topped bus.

I hope Ricky Hatton doesn't do his Bernard Manning act at the dinner. He's doing his act and he'd better not start fing and blinding.

Guys all I can say is If there is anyway possible you can get to meet Ali Do it. I've had the good fortune to meet him 3 or 4 times over the years its an experience you'll never forget. When Ali enters the room its electric.
I will never forget shaking his hand He is an awesome guy
