and ali paid that nikka back way more by putting 2.5 million in his pocket, especially considering that slow boat ass nikka was all set to accept like HALF that for the fight to begin with. ali didnt owe him shyt after the 1st fight, then he put more money in his fraziers pockets with the other fights
let's face facts here,wasnt nobody going out their way to watch joe frazier on name alone, not even in philly
it's like today, you can stick anybody in there with mayweather and itll draw like a motherfukker, cant do that with either klitschcko (sp) because nobody gives a fukk about them

i like how u ignore my reply & the others...
as far as the topic of ali called frazier a monkey, gorilla, unlce tom etc...etc...
esp. coming from a user with the name 'mr black'

but anywayz... u should log off for the day or so
by saying nobody was checking for joe frazier

u really dont know how stupid that sounds
 no one knew who joe Frazier was ? Look at his accolades ,his gold medal His status as undisputed champ
 at Frazier just being some nikka with the belt during a time when boxing meant something

 , especially as one black man talking to another.
 That fukked with Frazier heavy and I can understand. Ali took it wayyyyy to far with the trash talk against Frazier and didnt even need to do all that
