*[[Jim Roach]], president of the American Boxing Association, proposed the idea to the school board in May of 2015. The agreement stated that the bust of Morrison was expected to cost $12,000 and would weigh 100 pounds and some of Tommy Morrison’s remains would be embedded in one of the gloves. The agreement stated that the entire cost of the project would be funded by the ABA and that the school would not be obligated to allocate any funding to the project.

*The boxing tournament was held on Jan. 2, 2016, which would have been Morrison’s 46th birthday. Proceeds from the event were to go to Big Statues “Tommy’s last wishes were to include some of his ashes in the actual boxing glove that is part of the bust,” said Dean Smith, American Boxing Association chief executive officer.
