With $ prizes. I've done this before. So far I only have two questions and..you know..I have to space them or I'll get set-up.
Prizes are $1. to $25. $25. Q. is this: Joe Frazier category. Joe Frazier defeated Muhammad Ali in The Fight of the Century in 1971. In between that match and losing the title to George Foreman Joe engaged in two (2) relatively 'weak' defenses. One of them was against RON STANDER. Who was the other against?
(And, I could/I could not go into it how Ron the stronger of the two &....how he gave a proud performance.....)
Of course all boxing fans living then know this one.
The $1. Q is simple: Name the year Ali-Frazier 1.
No one even can tell me! : )
So I was just thinking maybe it's good topic and I could possible add a few from here.
The questions you could ask are ENDLESS of course! But I'm only looking for angles here!
Once I'm stuck for a $25 Q., ha...I may trim the questions down & down.
I'm not rich..I just like and appreciate Boxing!

Are you paying the prizes out of your own pocket? They only have to do a quick google search to find the answers, whats stopping them doing that?

No. I ask them right on the point. Ah yeah. My money.
I ran a raffle at our other & first store 16 weeks long and gave away about $425.00.
About $106.00 per month. It WAS work believe me. But, it added to the job.

You lived thru that fight right? I was in Jr. High School. Who can forget March 8, 1971. ALI-FRAZIER 1. 2.5 mil. each fighter..Records!
Compare May-Pac ! Isn't it funny. Anyone here have their fight date memorized? I don't..

I was born in 1987
Didn't become a Boxing fan until 2001. But I became such a die hard Boxing fan I'm well versed on Boxing history.
