You said it, Yogi! The US boxing programs on TV often have interviews with former champs, commenting between fights. Not many of them look and speak like anyone you'd want to change places with.

The one former champ who's reasonably ok and made out like a bandit is George Foreman. One of the appliance makers hired him to front for a new line of electric grills they sell as "George Foreman Grills." Commercials had George making fun of himself--on training runs wolfing down hamburgers and sub sandwiches handed to him by admiring fans on the way, etc. The grills sold like wildfire.

George was paid a percentage of gross sales. The company finally bought him out--after he'd made $135 million in royalties. whistle

Now: what's your choice? Make $13 million by having 260-lb behemoths pound the s**t out of you? Or make ten times that amount by eating hamburgers on TV? wink

Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
