[jipped genes]

One of the true greatest heavyweights in history.

What a bummer. I enjoyed his fights but I loved when he was on HBO boxing as an analyst. You could hear the love of the sport in his voice and especially for the fighters. He was a huge fan of boxing and he and Ali humanized it.

RIP Big George.

 

[Tuffoldman]

Sad news. He was one of the greats

He made people want to watch. And he really was successful outside the ring.

RIP George!

 

[gunslinger]

RIP George… truly an icon in the industry.

This Legend didn't die broke and alone. those who are young wont know that this kind smiling sweet old man, was one of the meanest, no nonsense boxers of his time.

In 1999, Salton paid Foreman a reported $137.5 million to acquire the full rights to use his name and likeness in perpetuity. This deal pushed Foreman's total earnings from the grill to an estimated $200 million to $250 million, far surpassing the money he made during his illustrious boxing career.

RIP George

He, Joe Frasier and Mohamed Ali were true gentlemen of the sport. RIP.
