1:59:04
I'm bad, man. I'm bad!
1:59:06
Muhammad, I'm sorry.
I have to ask.
1:59:11
Areyou really
fast enough anymore...
1:59:13
to beat George Foreman?
1:59:15
Ifhe gets you against the ropes,
he can knockyou out with either hand.
1:59:20
Many people believeyou're not the man
you used to be ten years ago.
1:59:28
See, now, Howard...
1:59:29
I didn't even want to talk
about this, man.
1:59:34
Especially not out here
in front ofall these people.
1:59:38
But I talked toyourwife...
1:59:41
and she said you not the man
you used to be twoyears ago!
2:00:07
Champ.
2:00:14
- Champ, George had an accident.
- He-- He had what?
2:00:17
- What areyou talking about?
- He got cut right above his right eye.
2:00:19
His sparring partner's elbow
split it open.
2:00:22
- Can he fight?
- Not for six weeks.
2:00:26
This is not a humorous situation,
my champ.
2:00:29
This postponement could be long,
especially ifGeorge leaves.
2:00:32
You trying to
pull something here, Don?
2:00:35
IfGeorge leaves, he ain't comin' back.
George don't like it here.
2:00:38
How rightyou are, my suspicious
and short ltalian brother.
2:00:42
Look here, man,
my fiduciary responsibility...
2:00:45
to this first all-black promotion...
2:00:47
is analogous to a garden in the African
sun-- it must grow, it must bloom.
2:00:51
Cannot flower in the gloom and shade
ofpostponement to the Astrodome...
2:00:55
or any dome out ofZaire where it be
deprivileged oflight and bled ofwater.
2:00:58
'Cause what gonna be bleedin' out of
there is money-- a hemorrhage ofcash.
