Happy Birthday George Foreman

Big George is 74 today....he's been married six times and has 12 children.

All the boys called George Edward. " so they would have something in common". Saw the Ali fight in Maple Leaf Gardens on live world hookup. Upset of the century at the time.
Turned himself into a likeable and benign person. If he wasn't already. Happy birthday George.
 
He made Smokin Joe Frazier do the knockout courtesy.

Six wives, I hope he sold enough George Foreman grills.

 
I actually had one of his grills. Still can't fight. Guess I will forever be a lover and not a fighter. LOL.
 
Great running back. Vikings could sure use him this year. :D
 
The original Top G.
 
He likely made millions with his grill. I see them at all garage sales, I don't think anyone uses them.

From Wikipedia

" The worldwide popularity of the George Foreman grill has resulted in sales of over 100 million units since it was first launched, a feat that was achieved in a little over 15 years. Although Foreman has never confirmed exactly how much he has earned from the endorsement, Salton, Inc. paid him $138 million in 1999 in order to buy out the right to use his name. Previous to that he was being paid about 40 percent of the profits on each grill sold, earning him $4.5 million a month in payouts at its peak, so it is estimated he has made a total of over $200 million from the endorsement, a sum that is substantially more than he earned as a boxer.

And not sure if this is true but ... The Ridiculous Story Of Hulk Hogan & The George Foreman Grill

First time I hear of the Hulk story, but they could've picked him too. Hopefully Foreman took care of his money and didn't blow it.
