    Miller's first and most famous stunt happened on November 6, 1993 during the heavyweight title fight between Rid**** Bowe and Evander Holyfield. Miller descended into the second minute of the seventh round of the fight, after circling Caesar’s Palace for 10 minutes. The lines of his paraglider became tangled in the overhead lights. He landed on the top rope of the ring with his parachute still tangled in the lights. He tried to hang on with one foot and one hand on that top rope for a few seconds until he either fell or was dragged down into the crowd by spectators, his parachute ripping away from the lights above. Fans and the fighters' security detail swarmed around him immediately and began attacking him. He was knocked unconscious during the attack. One security officer reportedly struck Miller twenty times. He was rushed to a nearby hospital as spectators cut his paraglider into pieces for souvenirs. After his release from the hospital, Miller was taken to the Clark County Detention Center, where he was charged with dangerous flying and released on $200 bail.

    "It was a heavyweight fight," Miller would joke later, "and I was the only guy who got knocked out."

    The media immediately dubbed Miller "Fan Man," for the paramotor (lightweight engine and propeller) attached to his harness.

    Fox Sports Net ranked this incident as the #1 "Most Outrageous Sports Moment".

      Miller was reported missing on September 22, 2002. On March 9, 2003, a group of hunters bushwhacking through the woods on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska found a decomposing body identified as that of James Miller. Police said he had chosen the remote Resurrection Pass Trail in Chugach National Forest, veering deep off-trail to a spot that might not have been discovered for years, if ever. Miller had hanged himself from a tree, and the death was ruled a suicide.[2] Miller had been suffering from a debilitating heart disease and was overwhelmed by medical bills.[3]

      Miller left behind a pregnant girlfriend who gave birth to a son, Logan, on February 14, 2003.

      Although Miller's disappearance and death were reported in the local press, his suicide did not become widely known outside Alaska until later in 2003, when ESPN went searching for him to film a SportsCenter feature to be shown during the tenth anniversary of his stunt.

            dunno.

            don't care.

            i just pointed it out because on the outset, you appear to be pretending you wrote it.

            otherwise, you would have added that you got it from the wiki.
