Fighter's Heaven (Ali's Training Camp)

[American_Ninja]

A National Treasure.

This place should be made into a National Treasure, and preserved as part of American Heritage.

Anybody have knowledge of how to start a movement to do this? I'll bet President ***** would protect it.

thats what i thought, too... you'd think boxers with their million dollar purses might contribute, or even use the camp. when De La Hoya used Angelo Dundee as an "advisor" for the Pac fight, it was obviously a kind of publicity thing for the fight... imagine a fighter using Ali's camp for the atmosphere and historical motivation and it being shown on 24/7, how it would be mutually beneficial. i guess not enough people care, because it would take alot of time and investment.

i cant find the website. can some one pm me or post it.

[JudeTheObscure]

look up Butterfly & Bee Bed and Breakfast in PA. i'm really not trying to keep it a secret from you guys or something when i tell you i had no luck contacting them like that- but go for it, i want as many of us to go up there as possible.

[The Stretch]

Wait, they're gonna tear down the camp?! Ali's training camp?!

Are you serious, are absolutly sure that they're really gonna tear it down?!

[JudeTheObscure]

No- not tear it down, per se. I am just paraphrasing. I *can* tell you, it is def. gonna get SOLD-- and it's a sure bet that whoever buys it, is not going to keep it what it is. And that means getting rid of alot of things.

[The Stretch]

Do you know whos buying it?

[JudeTheObscure]

no, i don't think he does either. i wish someone in boxing would buy it and preserve it.

[Danny Gunz]

Is there a possibility of an auction or boxing fans or anyone can buy some of the equipment and stuff there?

[JudeTheObscure]

guys, i've had an epiphany... we've got to save this place. seriously.
