Sillerman gets Ali's G.O.A.T.

Bob Sillerman, the former radio and concert mogul, today announced that he’s acquired an 80% interest in the name and likeness of Muhammad Ali for $50 million.

Despite the sloppily-written press release (which offers no first reference to who “Mr. Sillerman” is) we are please that Ali has finally gotten such a windfall.

We remember Ali – addled by Parkinson’s – poignantly struggling to sign boxing gloves and 8 x 10’s, in David Remnick in 1998 masterpiece, “King of the World.”
