Why Zaire?

... because Don King convinced Mubutu to front money that King didn't have to pay Ali and Foreman?

The most money was offered. Strategy was never a part of it. Of course.

 

Do you really think Ali had any choice in these negotiations? All these details are left to the promoters and managers to decide and it's money driven. ArE you still looking for conspiracies nearly 40 years after the fact? Ali koed George for the 10 count....that's it.

 

Actually I do not think that Ali was de brain behind his fraud career .
When he was told 2 take testosterone injections , he took down his underwear and took it like a man , when he was instructed on how 2 "rope a dope" he followed it perfectly .

Ali was a doll used by criminals 2 fullfill their goals .
True , he might have had his own wills some times , but he just followed Mirena's instructions .

When Ali tells a lie it is , most of times b/c he believes it ,
when Mirena lied or pretended , it woz 100% intended and carefully planned .

 

If anyone would like to learn how this fight in Zaire between Ali and Foreman came about I highly recommend the following new book. I just finished reading it and thought it a terrific read:

LMAO at the implication that Muhammad Ali even knew what the f**k Zaire was anyway.

Mobutu offered the money, that's how the fight ended up in Zaire.

Really quite a disgraceful episode in boxing, and in African-American history, considering what Mobutu was doing to his people.
To this day, the superficial symbolism of the event over-shadows the reality, and that's sad.
