"It doesn't matter if they love you or hate you, so long as they pay to see you!"
How Muhammad Ali's fascination with pro wrestling fueled his career, inspired MMA
From the oft-derided world of pro wrestling, Ali found his missing ingredient. He needed to be arrogant, loud and clever. He needed to be mouthy, to be a compelling character. Any fan he could not infuriate with his arrogance, he wanted to amuse with his wordplay and charisma.
The idea started when Ali watched an aging, golden-era TV wrestling star work the room.
"[I got it] from seeing Gorgeous George wrestle in Las Vegas," Ali told the Associated Press' Hubert Mizel in a 1969 interview. "I saw his aides spraying deodorant in the opponents' corner to contain the smell. I also saw 13,000 full seats. I talked with Gorgeous for five minutes after the match and started being a big-mouth and a bragger.
"He told me people would come to see me get beat. Others would come to see me win. I'd get 'em coming and going."
