Was Emile Griffith Really Gay??

[ProBox1]

I got thinking about this earlier today. The USA Network contacted me about doing a co-promotion for their new movie: "Ring of Fire: The Emile Griffith Story"

I've actually been pretty curious about this myself since I heard that it had been made. Can you share w/ us some more details??

All I know is that he had wife and kids.

Hmmm...I don't know anything about this subject, post some details

[delaboxeo]

Well, this is all that I've been able to pull off of the internet:

"We just saw the documentary RING OF FIRE: THE EMILE GRIFFITH STORY about a 1962 boxing match between Emile Griffith and Bennie “Kid” Paret. At the weigh-in, Paret called Griffith a “maricon” (slang for ******). The fight was for the welterweight championship and the third time they met. Griffith bludgeoned Paret into unconsciousness in the 12th round. Ten days later, he died"

Maybe Rick Reeno has some more details?? hint, hint.

Don't know if he was gay, but do know he sure killed the hell outta Benny Paret!

I've heard the stories about Griffith and the remarks that Paret made, but LaMotta? I have never heard anything pertaining to that and the movie Raging Bull gave no indication whatsoever about him being anything but girl crazy!

Where did you get this info?
