I'm not sure, so many seem to have a problem with boxers nowadays.

I'm gonna say 4mill+. Ali could talk a good game, best trash talker ever IMO and Foreman was pretty much knocking everybody out. 4mill does sound like alot but trust me, alot of people want to see H.Ws.

It would break 2 mil for sure, but by how much is the question.. If they had PPV back then, I wouldn't be surprised with 5 mil buys.

considering Ali was the most recognised sportsman in the world along with Pele at the time...and boxing meant much more to people back then...plus the fact that Ali was the best self promoter in sports history and he was so entertaining to watch in the ring...unlike some boxers today (mayweather) ....the fight couldve easily done more than 10 million+

the resonable price would be 3-6 mill like soy said ali talked mad ****, and foreman was a KO artist. in his prime.

then after the fight we'll be on here bitching on that foreman was a bum and ali was overrated for not throwing punches.
