Holmes vs. Ali – Sacrifice at Caesars Palace 30 Years On

Only months had passed and Ali was not settling into retirement. He appeared in ill advised television commercials that would have been more suited to a minor celebrity and the public fanfare had died off. Muhammad Ali talking up Roach Killer or Birdseye Quarter Pounders was hardly going to replace the roar of the crowd. Many people were urging him never to fight again with the most publicized detractor being Ali’s former personal physician, Dr. Ferdie Pacheco. He had left Ali’s camp after coming across test results that were recorded following a 1977 title defense with Ernie Shavers. He forwarded a copy to Ali himself, Herbert Muhammad (Ali’s Manager), Angelo Dundee (Ali’s trainer) and Veronica Porsche (Ali’s wife). Not one person responded despite Ali’s kidneys, being literally, on the verge of falling apart. Ferdie Pacheco would later explain the silence by stating; “People were in the business of keeping the golden goose alive! I was in a different business”

Rumors of an Ali return surfaced in early 1980 with the target being fellow American and new WBA Champion, John Tate. This plan fell apart when Tate was knocked cold by Mike Weaver in the final round of his first title defense. Ali was then approached by Don King who offered him eight million dollars to fight Larry Holmes. Ali was 38 years old, had been off the radar for almost two years and he was unlikely to get many more paydays of this caliber. The former champion had children, alimony payments and a celebrity wife who enjoyed mixing in high society. The money appeared to have Ali hooked; “An ill prepared man would fight Larry Holmes for eight million dollars!”

FYI: $8 million in 1980 is the same as $23 million today.

I would love the rematch without it involving Bob Arum.

Bob trying to sell the pac vs bradley 3 fight lol. Just a few weeks ago he said a rematch between these 2 will never happen and to move on and then now he's talking about he would love to see a rematch.

[WesternChamp]
