The bout was to be protrayed as a boxer vs. a wrestler, but the rules were not
disclosed until both 'actors' entered the ring.
The buying public had no knowledge of what the rules were.
A consultant to this fiasco, Vince McMahon who was an advisor for Bob Arum.
Thank God Bruce Lee wasn't alive, otherwise they would have had a bout between
him and Muhammad Ali.
And the public, would have bought it.
