Chamberlain Ali Fight Canceled Over Tax Demand
The planned July 26 Astrodome bout between Muhammad Ali and Wilt Chamberlain was scrapped after Chamberlain’s tax free demand rose his purse to 1.8 million, creating a financial clash for promoters. Ali's 1 million share and Chamberlain’s 500,000 share would have been disrupted by the higher tax bonus. Officials cited NBA rules prohibiting players from boxing and noted the clash could not be resolved quickly.
