Garden offers Ali 3 million for third Frazier bout
Muhammad Ali rejected a Garden offer of 3 million to fight Joe Frazier at Madison Square Garden, calling it "ridiculous." He cited prior purses and said he has a $5 million-plus offer to defend against Foreman or Frazier in Cairo, with other offers to face Bugner or meet Frazier in New Orleans. Garden president Mike Burke claimed the 3 million plus 1.5 for Frazier would be the most money ever offered for a boxing match.
