    It wasn't Foreman's grill.

    It was his NAME on the grill. He didn't invent it. The idea was proposed to Larry Holmes first who rebuffed it saying "that's a stupid idea". Foreman then became the face of it.

    The grille company then sold the MANUFACTURING and patent rights to a Chinese firm. Foreman - who wasn't a share holder - got a nice deal out of it but nowhere near the money that some people are saying around here. Foreman did make a nice percentage out of each grille each, around $5 per grille from memory.

    I also heard that it was offered to Hulk Hogan but he turned it down to put his name on some electric juicer or a blender, whatever

    definitely the klitschkos are in the top ranks....they promote their own fights, the do A LOT of side business ( a lot of commercials/merchandising in germany/ukraine, they are big in real estates business; they own shopping malls/night clubs in kiev, they have their own company any deal with pr rights etc.). and most important: they don´t spend their money for **** like cars, watches, jewels etc) its not how much money u make, its about how much you spend/how u spend it.
