520    It was more than the long-awaited showdown between two 
       superb athletes in their prime, more than the ultimate 
       test of speed and artistry versus power and endurance. It 
       was more than a boxing match, much more. The first meeting
       between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier at Madison Square 
       Garden on March 8, 1971, transcended the world of sports 
       to become a major international media spectacle with 
       tremendous social and political overtones. Sportswriter 
       Michael Arkush draws from interviews with Ali's trainer, 
       Angelo Dundee; his doctor, Ferdie Pacheco; and more than 
       100 others to examine how the fight, watched by more than 
       300 million viewers around the world, ushered in a new era
       of sports marketing. From then on, every game would be 
       turned into an "event," powered by over-the-top hype and 
       carefully staged pageantry. This sweeping real-life saga 
       features insightful portraits of both fighters. Among many
       telling details in this fascinating account, you'll 
       discover why Ali's favorite foil, Howard Cosell, who had 
       defended the champ passionately during his exile, did not 
       call the fight, and how a prominent Hollywood agent and a 
       California businessman teamed up to promote the event. 
       You'll also learn how a little-known Georgia legislator 
       helped make Ali's comeback possible.
