The Muhammad Ali thingy at Old Trafford

[slapbangwhallop]

did anyone go? was it any good? who spoke?

I went to the pre "thingy" dinner at lounge ten in the city centre and I can say that Muhammad Ali Jnr is certainly not a chip off the old block.

[Wales]

Why, what was he doing / saying?

Wasnt old trafford £1000 a ticket?

there were tickets from about £200 up to about £1,500 I think.

Jnr was a. putting on a southern "Ali type" accent even though he is from Chicago - I was speaking to him before his speech and he changed his accent when he started his speech. b. he didnt know anything about boxing and was saying that modern fighters arnt fit enough or dont have the heart or stamina to do 15 rounds anymore and thats why they dropped the amount of rounds in a championship fight to 10 rounds (my eyes rolled) c. he was babbling on about WWF and that he would like to get involved in it and was watching WWF for 15 years.

Ali Snr was supposed to turn up but never did - we have to make do with Richard Dunn.
