00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,397
Thank you very kindly.
3
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,232
Ladies and gentlemen,
right now we'd like to introduce...
4
00:00:32,318 --> 00:00:36,988
the star of our show, the young man
you've all been waiting for.
5
00:00:37,073 --> 00:00:41,242
So let's all get together and welcome
him to the stage with a great big hand.
6
00:00:41,286 --> 00:00:43,453
How about it for Sam Cooke?
7
00:00:52,256 --> 00:00:55,841
Before we do anything, we'd like
to say how are you doing out there?
8
00:00:57,845 --> 00:00:59,595
- Is everyone feeling all right?
- Yeah!
9
00:00:59,681 --> 00:01:01,222
How are you doing?
10
00:01:02,142 --> 00:01:03,933
- You doing okay?
- Yeah!
11
00:01:03,976 --> 00:01:06,393
- You two doing okay?
- Yeah!
12
00:01:06,437 --> 00:01:10,231
Well, I ask you one more time.
How you doing?
13
00:01:11,984 --> 00:01:13,942
Oh, yeah
14
00:01:15,113 --> 00:01:16,988
I said oh, yeah
15
00:01:17,074 --> 00:01:19,074
Oh, yeah!
16
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,618
Oh, yeah
17
00:01:20,660 --> 00:01:22,243
Oh, yeah!
18
00:01:30,087 --> 00:01:33,213
I believe we're gonna have
a goodtime tonight
19
00:01:34,467 --> 00:01:38,177
It's good to have somebody
you can twist the night away with
20
00:01:38,261 --> 00:01:40,344
Right now
21
00:01:40,431 --> 00:01:41,805
Oh, yes, it is
22
00:01:42,683 --> 00:01:46,060
I said it feels good
when you got somebody
23
00:01:46,146 --> 00:01:48,730
To twist the night away
with right now
24
00:01:48,815 --> 00:01:51,149
- Lord have mercy.
- What you running from, son?
25
00:01:53,863 --> 00:01:55,446
We got a call.
26
00:02:01,495 --> 00:02:04,955
Don't fight the feelin'
Don’t fight the feelin'
27
00:02:06,250 --> 00:02:09,752
Got to feel the feelin' now
Got to feel the feelin'
28
00:02:10,839 --> 00:02:14,341
'Cause it make you groove right
when you feel the feelin'
29
00:02:14,425 --> 00:02:17,676
Oh, make me want you now
30
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,095
Got to feel the feelin'
31
00:02:20,182 --> 00:02:24,894
'Cause it make you groove right
when you feel the feelin'
32
00:02:24,978 --> 00:02:29,564
Make me want ya
when I got the feelin; baby
33
00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:31,859
So don't fight it
34
00:02:31,943 --> 00:02:33,860
No, don’t fight it
35
00:02:33,904 --> 00:02:36,530
Baby, just feel it
36
00:03:30,505 --> 00:03:32,547
I'm gonna bust you up.
37
00:03:32,591 --> 00:03:35,217
Beat your ass
like I was your daddy.
38
00:04:16,888 --> 00:04:19,973
I said I'm beginning
to feel alright now
39
00:04:25,981 --> 00:04:29,983
I feel can tell you
about my baby right now
40
00:04:34,115 --> 00:04:37,158
I said I feel
you're in the mood right now
41
00:04:45,877 --> 00:04:49,379
I said I feel
you're in the mood
42
00:04:51,925 --> 00:04:54,342
Sometimes me and my baby
we fuss and fight
43
00:04:54,428 --> 00:04:57,346
And my baby leave home
'cause things ain't right
44
00:04:57,430 --> 00:04:59,847
For those of you
who think you came here today...
45
00:04:59,891 --> 00:05:02,642
to hear us tell you
like these Negro leaders do...
46
00:05:02,686 --> 00:05:05,312
that your times
will just get better...
47
00:05:05,397 --> 00:05:10,401
that we shall
overcome someday...
48
00:05:10,486 --> 00:05:13,529
I say to you,
you came to the wrong place.
49
00:05:13,613 --> 00:05:16,906
Because your times will never
get better unless you make them better.
50
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,036
Those of you who think you came here
to hear us tell you...
51
00:05:21,081 --> 00:05:24,708
to turn the other cheek
to the brutality of the white man...
52
00:05:24,792 --> 00:05:28,669
and this system of injustice
that's in place right here in America...
53
00:05:28,714 --> 00:05:31,089
you think you're gonna come here
and hear us tell you...
54
00:05:31,173 --> 00:05:35,175
to go out there and beg
for a place at their lunch counter...
55
00:05:35,971 --> 00:05:39,181
again, I say you came
to the wrong place.
56
00:05:39,225 --> 00:05:43,686
We don't teach you
to turn the other cheek in the South.
57
00:05:43,729 --> 00:05:46,522
And we don't teach you
to turn the other cheek in the North.
58
00:05:46,566 --> 00:05:50,402
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad
teaches you to obey the law...
59
00:05:50,444 --> 00:05:53,237
to Cary yourselves
in a respectable way...
60
00:05:53,322 --> 00:05:55,864
in a proud
Afro-American way.
61
00:05:56,576 --> 00:05:59,118
But at the same time,
we teach you...
62
00:05:59,203 --> 00:06:01,537
that anyone puts
their hand on you...
63
00:06:03,667 --> 00:06:08,796
brother, you do your best to see they
don't put their hand on anybody else...
64
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,129
again.
65
00:06:14,595 --> 00:06:15,927
Time.
66
00:06:35,325 --> 00:06:37,283
Just like that, Daddy.
67
00:06:37,327 --> 00:06:39,410
Never jump in one place.
Bad for the heart.
68
00:06:39,455 --> 00:06:41,038
Forwards, backwards, sideways.
69
00:06:41,124 --> 00:06:42,999
That's the most important thing.
70
00:06:54,136 --> 00:06:56,261
I'm called Bundini.
71
00:06:56,348 --> 00:06:59,891
Rhymes with Houdini.
He was a Jew too.
72
00:06:59,977 --> 00:07:03,687
Some people call me Fast Black.
Some call me Daddy Mac.
73
00:07:04,814 --> 00:07:07,523
Gave Sugar Ray Robinson
my power for seven years.
74
00:07:07,609 --> 00:07:10,068
My voodoo. My magic.
75
00:07:10,153 --> 00:07:13,071
Now Shorty done sent me here
to work for you.
76
00:07:13,157 --> 00:07:16,367
- Who's Shorty?
- I call him Shorty.
77
00:07:16,452 --> 00:07:18,619
Call him Shorty
'cause he like 'em circumcised.
78
00:07:18,703 --> 00:07:23,498
Original people. Like Moses.
And I was a babe in a basket too.
79
00:07:23,584 --> 00:07:26,752
Born on a doorstep with a note
across my chest that read...
80
00:07:26,838 --> 00:07:29,881
"You do the best
you can for him, world. "
81
00:07:29,966 --> 00:07:31,883
I wanna be your inspiration.
82
00:07:31,968 --> 00:07:34,635
Your motivator in your corner.
83
00:07:35,806 --> 00:07:38,098
Can I be in your corner,
young man?
84
00:07:45,525 --> 00:07:46,941
Time!
85
00:07:50,363 --> 00:07:53,281
Got to tell you
how I feel right now
86
00:07:53,366 --> 00:07:56,200
This song gonna tell you

00:07:56,285 --> 00:07:59,662
I know you been gone away
for along time, but listen
88
00:07:59,705 --> 00:08:02,331
Baby, if you ever

00:08:03,584 --> 00:08:06,543

90
00:08:06,630 --> 00:08:08,839

95
00:08:20,144 --> 00:08:21,476
Yeah, yeah
96
00:08:21,561 --> 00:08:25,230
Listen, I got to be a man
to tell you this, honey, look

00:08:25,316 --> 00:08:27,358
I'll give you jewelry
98
00:08:27,444 --> 00:08:29,486
I'll give you some
of that money too
99
00:08:29,571 --> 00:08:32,155
But listen
That ain't all
100
00:08:32,239 --> 00:08:34,948
That ain't all
Sam will do for you
101
00:08:35,034 --> 00:08:38,285
All you got to do
is bring it tome
102
00:08:39,081 --> 00:08:41,290
Bring that good lovin baby
103
00:08:41,374 --> 00:08:43,332
Be the invisible man
as soon as he swings.
104
00:08:43,418 --> 00:08:45,126
Get personal with him.
105
00:08:45,212 --> 00:08:47,629
This is important
Listen tome

00:08:47,715 --> 00:08:50,925
Don't you know

Till I'm buried
109
00:08:56,850 --> 00:08:59,225
Buried in my grave
110
00:08:59,268 --> 00:09:01,310
While I'm livin'
111
00:09:01,396 --> 00:09:04,606

Listen to me right now

To treat you right

You stayed up
118
00:09:20,416 --> 00:09:22,625
You stayed up late at night
119
00:09:22,710 --> 00:09:24,668
I don't care

120
00:09:24,753 --> 00:09:26,628

Listen, let me hear you

125
00:09:44,107 --> 00:09:46,733
Yeah, oh, yeah
126
00:09:51,490 --> 00:09:54,616
Sonny Liston,
you ain't no champ! You a chump!
127
00:09:54,702 --> 00:09:56,827
Float like a butterfly,
sting like a bee.
128
00:09:56,913 --> 00:09:59,914
Oh!
Rumble, young man, rumble.
129
00:09:59,998 --> 00:10:02,749
Y'all wanna lose y' all money?
Then you bet it on Sonny.
130
00:10:02,835 --> 00:10:05,669
He know I'm great.
He will fall in eight.
131
00:10:05,755 --> 00:10:08,506
Come on, you big, ugly bear.
I'll whup you right now.
132
00:10:10,218 --> 00:10:13,595
Two-ten and a half.
Two-ten and a half!
133
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:17,474
The challenger, Cassius Clay,
two hundred and ten and a half pounds.
134
00:10:17,518 --> 00:10:20,144
- Man, you sure that's right?
- That's what the weight is.
135
00:10:20,228 --> 00:10:22,812
Old, ugly bear, come on.
Let's go.
136
00:10:22,898 --> 00:10:27,359
You got these folks fooled. I ain't
scared of ya! I ain't scared of ya!
137
00:10:29,154 --> 00:10:31,446
Two hundred and eighteen.
Two hundred and eighteen.
138
00:10:31,532 --> 00:10:34,408
Sonny Liston,
the champion of the world.
139
00:10:34,494 --> 00:10:36,786
Two hundred and eighteen pounds.
140
00:10:36,870 --> 00:10:38,912
- Pounds of what?
- Pounds of ugly.
141
00:10:38,998 --> 00:10:41,499
That man's so ugly,
when he sweat...
142
00:10:41,584 --> 00:10:45,378
the sweat run backwards off his forehand
just to stay away from his face.
143
00:10:49,885 --> 00:10:52,594
Come on, you big, ugly bear!
I'll turn you into a rug!
144
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:55,139
Keep talkin'.
I'm gonna fuck you up.
145
00:11:01,689 --> 00:11:03,105
If you whup me...
146
00:11:03,190 --> 00:11:07,109
I'll crawl out of the ring and take
the first jet airplane out the country.
147
00:11:07,195 --> 00:11:10,321
- Is that a promise, Mr. Clay?
- You'll eat his words first.
148
00:11:10,407 --> 00:11:14,243
- Cassius, you're a 7-1 underdog.
- Liston says he talks with his fists.
149
00:11:14,285 --> 00:11:16,285
- What do you say?
- You scared of him?
150
00:11:16,371 --> 00:11:18,621
I'm gonna give Sonny Liston
talkin' lessons...
151
00:11:18,707 --> 00:11:21,166
boxin' lessons
and fallin' down lessons.
152
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,086
Cassius, are you a black Muslim?
Pat Putnam says in the Miami Herald--
153
00:11:25,172 --> 00:11:27,714
A man's religion is his own business.
What kind of question is that?
154
00:11:27,759 --> 00:11:33,013
- Angelo, tell me--
- Malcolm X was in town, then he left.
155
00:11:33,097 --> 00:11:35,222
Was that so
he wouldn't embarrass you?
156
00:11:35,308 --> 00:11:37,183
- Yeah, Howard?
- Liston doesn't like you.
157
00:11:37,268 --> 00:11:40,102
Really can't stand you.
Says he wants to kill you.
158
00:11:40,146 --> 00:11:42,229
Howard Cosell, you ain't
nothin' but an instigator.
159
00:11:42,315 --> 00:11:45,900
- Man, how you get that way?
- Cassius, now you’re being truculent.
160
00:11:45,986 --> 00:11:47,444
If it's good, I'm that.
161
00:11:49,947 --> 00:11:53,574
You next. Soon as I'm done with Sonny
Liston, I'm fightin' Howard Cosell.
162
00:11:53,660 --> 00:11:55,618
Y'all write that down right now.
163
00:12:10,761 --> 00:12:12,469
That's good?
164
00:12:13,515 --> 00:12:15,098
Wanna check that out?
165
00:12:23,482 --> 00:12:25,816
Hey, man, when you get back?
166
00:12:25,860 --> 00:12:28,653
I just got here.
I'm front row, seat seven.
167
00:12:32,701 --> 00:12:35,368
I'll be sittin'
with Mom and Dad.
168
00:12:38,208 --> 00:12:41,793
You should've stayed in the first place.
Nobody gotta hide when they're with me.
169
00:12:41,877 --> 00:12:44,211
There's nothing wrong
with being cool, my brother.
170
00:12:44,296 --> 00:12:45,211
He's right.
171
00:13:32,723 --> 00:13:35,349
- ...and challenger, Cassius Clay.
- Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
172
00:13:35,391 --> 00:13:38,726
Brought to you
by the City Service Oil Company...
173
00:13:38,812 --> 00:13:42,189
and its dealers
in 37 states and Canada...
174
00:13:42,233 --> 00:13:45,651
known to millions of motorists
for Big Gallon gasoline...
175
00:13:45,736 --> 00:13:49,488
and by new Wildroot,
totally new Wildroot in a new tube...
176
00:13:49,574 --> 00:13:54,661
with a great formula that grooms hair
to look neat and natural, never greasy.
177
00:13:54,745 --> 00:13:57,079
Another boxing milestone
is at hand.
178
00:13:57,165 --> 00:14:01,084
In just a few minutes,
Louisville's Cassius Marcellus Clay...
179
00:14:01,128 --> 00:14:03,253
will be facing
the devastating punching power...
180
00:14:03,338 --> 00:14:06,589
of the heavyweight champion,
Charles "Sonny" Liston.
181
00:14:06,634 --> 00:14:10,803
...for the heavyweight championship
of the world.
182
00:14:13,265 --> 00:14:15,265
Introducing, on my right--
183
00:14:16,227 --> 00:14:18,227
And now the time has come.
184
00:14:18,313 --> 00:14:22,899
Both challenger and champion
are in the ring.
185
00:14:22,942 --> 00:14:26,402
The heavyweight championship
of the world is on the line.
186
00:14:26,488 --> 00:14:30,282
I fit goes past the first round,
there will be surprises already.
187
00:14:30,992 --> 00:14:34,452
Sonny Liston wrapped in that
tery cloth towel of his...
188
00:14:34,538 --> 00:14:37,205
wrapped around his head
swami fashion...
189
00:14:37,291 --> 00:14:40,125
Looking as malevolent
and baleful as ever.
190
00:14:40,169 --> 00:14:43,546
But this man
is a professional prizefighter.
191
00:14:43,631 --> 00:14:45,673
Make no mistake about it.
192
00:14:48,844 --> 00:14:50,802
I want a clean fight.
193
00:14:50,846 --> 00:14:53,263
When I say break,
stop punching and step back.
194
00:14:53,308 --> 00:14:55,433
Do you have
any questions, champ?
195
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:57,352
Any questions, challenger?
196
00:14:57,437 --> 00:15:01,189
We're fine.
Touch gloves, gentlemen. Good luck.
197
00:15:04,195 --> 00:15:06,988
Good evening,
sports fans across the nation.
198
00:15:07,030 --> 00:15:09,656
Liston in the white trunks
with the black stripes.
199
00:15:09,741 --> 00:15:13,869
Clay, an inch and a half taller, in
the white trunks with the red stripes--
200
00:15:27,969 --> 00:15:30,762
And Cassius Clay
is sidestepping.
201
00:15:45,404 --> 00:15:47,738
There it is, champ.
Stay on your toes now.
202
00:15:55,624 --> 00:15:59,376
And we can see that the champion
is the aggressor.
203
00:15:59,418 --> 00:16:02,002
There's a shot under the heart.
204
00:16:30,994 --> 00:16:34,412
Cassius Clay slips away.
And now Clay pounds a left.
205
00:16:34,497 --> 00:16:37,498
Another left. A straight jab.
206
00:16:41,005 --> 00:16:43,798
It seems to have stunned him.
And that's the bell.
207
00:16:43,882 --> 00:16:47,300
And they're fighting after the bell.
And they're still fighting.
208
00:16:47,386 --> 00:16:49,970
This round is over.
209
00:16:50,056 --> 00:16:51,847
Break it up, ref.
210
00:16:51,934 --> 00:16:55,019
There is no love lost between
the two contenders at this time.
211
00:16:55,102 --> 00:16:58,938
Cassius goes back to his corner.
It's been an amazing round.
212
00:16:58,982 --> 00:17:00,481
You can beat this guy.
213
00:17:02,986 --> 00:17:05,487
I'm still here.
214
00:17:05,572 --> 00:17:08,949
And Sonny Liston
is not taking the stool.
215
00:17:08,993 --> 00:17:12,036
He's anxious to get back
into the challenger's face.
216
00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:15,038
Take it to the body.
Kill the body, the head will follow.
217
00:17:46,114 --> 00:17:48,406
This is a totally different fight
than Liston expected...
218
00:17:48,492 --> 00:17:50,325
and anyone in this arena
will tell you.
219
00:17:50,411 --> 00:17:54,789
There's a long, looping left hand.
Clay's eyes are wide open now.
220
00:18:05,509 --> 00:18:07,843
- Come on, Cass! Move!
- Step back.
221
00:18:09,848 --> 00:18:12,724
- Come on, Cassius!
- Come on, Chi-Chi!
222
00:18:15,771 --> 00:18:17,437
I'm not prognosticating
anything...
223
00:18:17,523 --> 00:18:19,857
but merely his survival
to this juncture--
224
00:18:37,586 --> 00:18:39,544
Cass, hit him!
225
00:18:50,724 --> 00:18:51,639
Break.
226
00:18:53,144 --> 00:18:54,977
Let him go.
227
00:19:23,426 --> 00:19:27,095
Sonny Liston is hurt.
He's bleeding from his eye.
228
00:19:30,058 --> 00:19:31,390
He's defying the experts early.
229
00:19:31,434 --> 00:19:36,312
We have to take a look at this man and
say he is not in awe of the champion.
230
00:20:04,719 --> 00:20:08,179
He ain't nothin' to me.
And he know it.
231
00:20:08,265 --> 00:20:09,681
This is it now.
232
00:20:15,647 --> 00:20:17,605
Let me have that, John.
233
00:20:22,655 --> 00:20:24,279
And now they're ready.
234
00:20:28,493 --> 00:20:31,035
You gonna knock
the ugly off of him.
235
00:20:31,121 --> 00:20:33,371
That's gonna take a long time,
but you can do it.
236
00:20:37,503 --> 00:20:39,795
There he is. Get him off.
Do your job, ref.
237
00:20:40,548 --> 00:20:42,923
Shake him.
Do your job, ref.
238
00:20:47,805 --> 00:20:49,972
There it is.
239
00:20:50,767 --> 00:20:52,350
Come on, ref.
240
00:20:56,231 --> 00:20:57,230
Break.
241
00:21:03,363 --> 00:21:05,780
- There he is.
- Clay slips around and out.
242
00:21:08,828 --> 00:21:11,495
Up against the ropes.
Right above me now.
243
00:21:15,627 --> 00:21:18,169
Too tight. Get in there.
244
00:21:30,350 --> 00:21:32,642
My eyes. There's something in my eyes.
I can't see nothin'.
245
00:21:32,728 --> 00:21:33,810
Come on.
246
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:38,649
- What's going on?
- Nothin'.
247
00:21:38,735 --> 00:21:42,278
The guy's punchin' on the breaks.
Just take care of it. We're fine.
248
00:21:44,324 --> 00:21:46,699
I can't see nothin', man.
Just go and cut 'em off, Angie.
249
00:21:46,743 --> 00:21:49,577
No, no. You can't fight
with no gloves on.
250
00:21:50,413 --> 00:21:52,371
Just get up. Get up.
Try and do it. Come on.
251
00:21:52,416 --> 00:21:54,875
I can't see, man.
252
00:21:54,919 --> 00:21:57,586
- Come on, Cass!
- Dance!
253
00:22:04,262 --> 00:22:06,262
Liston crouching,
hitting to the body.
254
00:22:06,346 --> 00:22:09,305
It's like he's blinking,
like he doesn't see Liston.
255
00:22:09,392 --> 00:22:11,976
Ref, you gotta do your job.
256
00:22:21,697 --> 00:22:22,737
Hold it.
257
00:22:25,742 --> 00:22:28,117
Stay away from him, Clay.
Stay away from him.
258
00:22:28,913 --> 00:22:31,288
The champion, you can see,
is the aggressor.
259
00:22:37,755 --> 00:22:39,672
- Get him, Cass!
- Come on, Cass!
260
00:22:40,758 --> 00:22:43,259
- Knock him up!
- Clay looks all done.
261
00:22:43,344 --> 00:22:45,344
Hold on to him!
262
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,353
- Stop it. Stop. Break.
- Knock him up.
263
00:22:55,732 --> 00:22:58,149
Get on him.
Get on him, man.
264
00:23:15,336 --> 00:23:18,295
- You can see him now.
- You go get him, man.
265
00:23:29,434 --> 00:23:31,935
Clay lands a left,
but Liston ducked under it...
266
00:23:32,020 --> 00:23:34,270
and took it high
on the forehead.
267
00:23:35,233 --> 00:23:37,442
It's Clay coming on.
268
00:23:42,365 --> 00:23:45,074
And Liston backs away.
269
00:24:30,749 --> 00:24:34,459
And all the predictions
are going down the drain...
270
00:24:34,545 --> 00:24:36,462
as Liston is listless.
271
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,631
And there's the bell.
272
00:24:43,554 --> 00:24:45,471
We're coming up
to round seven.
273
00:25:23,804 --> 00:25:26,138
Wait a minute!
274
00:25:26,224 --> 00:25:28,015
Liston's not coming out.
275
00:25:29,019 --> 00:25:32,312
The winner and new heavyweight
champion of the world is Cassius Clay.
276
00:25:32,396 --> 00:25:36,440
Eat your words!
Eat your words!
277
00:25:36,485 --> 00:25:40,279
Les, I'm going up into the ring.
Get back.
278
00:25:41,490 --> 00:25:43,865
I'm the greatest thing
ever happened to boxing.
279
00:25:43,951 --> 00:25:45,784
Cassius. Cassius.
280
00:25:45,828 --> 00:25:48,412
I shook up the world!
281
00:25:48,498 --> 00:25:51,749
It's a scene of
absolute bedlam in the ring!
282
00:25:51,834 --> 00:25:56,087
I am the greatest.
I'm a bad man. I shook up the world!
283
00:25:56,172 --> 00:25:57,880
Did he ever hurt you?
284
00:25:57,966 --> 00:26:00,967
I'm only 22 years old.
I ain't got a mark on my face.
285
00:26:01,010 --> 00:26:02,968
- I must be the greatest.
- And you're pretty.
286
00:26:03,013 --> 00:26:04,971
I must be the greatest.
287
00:26:05,015 --> 00:26:08,308
Wait. Hold on. Hold on one second.
That's Sam Cooke back there.
288
00:26:08,351 --> 00:26:10,309
- Come on, Sam Cooke.
- Let Sam Cooke in here.
289
00:26:10,353 --> 00:26:13,271
The greatest rock-and-roll singer,
and I'm the world's greatest boxer.
290
00:26:13,357 --> 00:26:14,856
Hello, Sam.
291
00:26:23,785 --> 00:26:25,952
That mummy's
gonna get him, baby.
292
00:26:26,787 --> 00:26:29,204
- That mummy ain't gonna get him.
- Yeah, he is.
293
00:26:29,290 --> 00:26:33,543
He ain't scared of that mummy.
That mummy too slow to catch anybody.
294
00:26:34,505 --> 00:26:37,131
- What's going on, Sam?
- How you doing, Cassius?
295
00:26:37,215 --> 00:26:41,676
Don't believe that stuff on TV.
Don't listen to him.
296
00:26:41,721 --> 00:26:43,846
- Hey, congratulations, Clay.
- Hey, thank you, Jim.
297
00:26:43,930 --> 00:26:46,931
- Hell of a fight.
- You next, man. You next.
298
00:26:47,017 --> 00:26:50,310
- Go ahead and get some food, brother.
- Cassius Clay versus Jim Brown.
299
00:26:50,396 --> 00:26:51,812
Biggest fight in history.
300
00:26:51,898 --> 00:26:55,024
- The mummy only has one eye.
- One eye and a limp.
301
00:26:55,067 --> 00:26:57,693
That mummy's 643 years old.
302
00:26:57,737 --> 00:26:59,695
He can't catch nobody.
Look at him.
303
00:26:59,740 --> 00:27:02,950
You gotta fall down 'cause that's
the only way the mummy could catch you.
304
00:27:14,463 --> 00:27:15,921
Way to go, champ!
305
00:27:18,593 --> 00:27:22,011
- Yeah, you the greatest.
- Thank you, brother. Thank you.
306
00:27:22,095 --> 00:27:24,053
- I'll see your next fight.
- You'll see the next one?
307
00:27:24,140 --> 00:27:26,974
- Oh, yeah.
- Well, you better get there very early.
308
00:27:27,060 --> 00:27:30,061
You better get there very early
'cause that man's going down.
309
00:27:32,774 --> 00:27:35,400
If he talk a little jive,
he's going down in five.
310
00:27:37,321 --> 00:27:40,280
He talk a little more,
I might drop him in four.
311
00:27:41,408 --> 00:27:43,575
If you wanna have more fun,
do it in round one.
312
00:27:43,660 --> 00:27:45,743
Oh, yeah. Hold on.
I'm doing the rhymin'.
313
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,011
The people really look up to you. You
plan on being a champ like Joe Louis?
314
00:28:03,098 --> 00:28:06,057
Well, yeah, I'm gonna be
the people's champ.
315
00:28:06,142 --> 00:28:08,517
Not like Joe Louis.
Well, you know, not exactly.
316
00:28:10,981 --> 00:28:13,106
My name is not Clay.
317
00:28:13,151 --> 00:28:15,735
Clay is the name of the people
that owned my ancestors...
318
00:28:15,819 --> 00:28:18,820
and I no longer wanna be called
by that slave name.
319
00:28:18,906 --> 00:28:21,156
- I am Cassius X.
- Minister Malcolm.
320
00:28:21,242 --> 00:28:23,492
What about the divisions
in the Nation of Islam?
321
00:28:23,577 --> 00:28:27,579
This is the champ's time. I'm here
as a friend to support his victory...
322
00:28:27,665 --> 00:28:30,124
so I have nothing you want.
323
00:28:30,168 --> 00:28:32,168
I'm definitely gonna be
the people's champion...
324
00:28:32,211 --> 00:28:34,670
but I just ain't gonna be the champ
the way you want me to be the champ.
325
00:28:34,755 --> 00:28:37,172
I'm gonna be the champ
the way I wanna be.
326
00:28:48,354 --> 00:28:50,980
...for no home is immune
to termites...
327
00:28:51,022 --> 00:28:54,148
no matter how well
it is built or maintained.
328
00:28:54,234 --> 00:28:56,192
- Hey, brother.
- I was leaving.
329
00:28:56,279 --> 00:28:59,530
I saw your light on.
What you doing up at this hour, champ?
330
00:28:59,615 --> 00:29:03,367
Oh, man, I'm watching this program
on termites.
331
00:29:03,453 --> 00:29:07,706
And them little itsy-bitsy things is
eatin' these people's whole house down.
332
00:29:07,790 --> 00:29:10,499
Oh, man, look.
333
00:29:13,630 --> 00:29:18,383
I've been invited to speak
at Ibadan University in Nigeria.
334
00:29:18,427 --> 00:29:21,136
- You wanna go with me?
- Hey, look, man.
335
00:29:21,222 --> 00:29:25,350
You can have six million termites
in your house and don't even know it...
336
00:29:25,391 --> 00:29:28,350
till you going to get something to eat
and you bust through the floor.
337
00:29:30,231 --> 00:29:33,983
- What'd you say? Where?
- Africa. You been?
338
00:29:35,069 --> 00:29:35,984
Africa.
339
00:29:36,070 --> 00:29:38,404
All right, come on.
Let's go.
340
00:29:43,994 --> 00:29:45,577
What is it?
341
00:29:50,085 --> 00:29:52,669
You ever thought
you'd lose it?
342
00:29:52,754 --> 00:29:55,505
I mean, really lose it?
343
00:29:59,346 --> 00:30:03,098
When I was little, I tore out
this picture of Emmett Till.
344
00:30:03,182 --> 00:30:05,099
They put the barbed wire
around his neck...
345
00:30:05,184 --> 00:30:09,353
and strapped him
to that 75-pound cotton gin fan.
346
00:30:09,439 --> 00:30:13,275
And they cut out one of his eyes
'cause he looked at some white lady.
347
00:30:15,112 --> 00:30:17,070
Man.
348
00:30:17,114 --> 00:30:20,199
I couldn't take my eyes to it,
couldn't throw it away.
349
00:30:24,788 --> 00:30:27,706
When I heard about those...
350
00:30:27,791 --> 00:30:30,750
four little girls who got bombed
in that Birmingham church...
351
00:30:33,965 --> 00:30:36,674
the prohibitions of the Honorable
Elijah Muhammad prevented me...
352
00:30:36,758 --> 00:30:39,008
from speaking
my thoughts in action.
353
00:30:41,013 --> 00:30:43,222
Because Birmingham was part
of the civil rights struggle.
354
00:30:43,308 --> 00:30:47,519
You know, begging for our place
at the white man's table.
355
00:30:47,604 --> 00:30:50,271
But dead children
are dead children.
356
00:30:50,357 --> 00:30:54,902
So the anger I felt
I had to contain.
357
00:30:56,821 --> 00:30:59,906
I locked it up so tight...
358
00:30:59,992 --> 00:31:01,909
my muscles seized.
359
00:31:03,079 --> 00:31:05,997
I lost control
over the right side of my body.
360
00:31:06,082 --> 00:31:08,499
My leg gave out.
361
00:31:08,585 --> 00:31:11,294
Right arm gave out.
"I'm having a stroke," I thought.
362
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,006
But I had to hold it in
'cause all I wanted--
363
00:31:16,092 --> 00:31:20,553
Brother, all I wanted to do
was find something and break it.
364
00:31:20,639 --> 00:31:23,807
Break a part--
Break any part of this system...
365
00:31:23,892 --> 00:31:28,103
because you are so provoked
in your heart...
366
00:31:28,189 --> 00:31:30,314
and your spirit
as a human being...
367
00:31:32,234 --> 00:31:34,192
at dead children.
368
00:31:35,863 --> 00:31:37,946
And I could do...
369
00:31:40,534 --> 00:31:42,284
nothing.
370
00:31:50,711 --> 00:31:54,463
Everyone knows
I can't do nothing...
371
00:31:54,549 --> 00:31:55,965
anymore.
372
00:32:00,472 --> 00:32:04,015
So Elijah Muhammad has suspended me
as a minister in the Nation of Islam.
373
00:32:12,527 --> 00:32:15,361
Man...
374
00:32:15,404 --> 00:32:16,945
you can fix that.
375
00:32:17,031 --> 00:32:19,907
I don't know.
376
00:32:19,951 --> 00:32:22,243
I'll try when we get back.
377
00:32:30,462 --> 00:32:32,504
You get some rest, champ.
378
00:32:32,590 --> 00:32:34,507
All right, brother.
379
00:33:09,795 --> 00:33:10,752
Sit.
380
00:33:23,143 --> 00:33:27,771
You know, only after
long service and high merit...
381
00:33:27,814 --> 00:33:32,275
in the spiritual and physical rebirth
of Afro-American people...
382
00:33:32,319 --> 00:33:34,569
is one granted an original name.
383
00:33:34,656 --> 00:33:37,407
But you are special.
384
00:33:37,490 --> 00:33:38,948
A world champion.
385
00:33:41,495 --> 00:33:44,121
So there is a gift
I wish to give you.
386
00:33:44,165 --> 00:33:46,165
From this day forward...
387
00:33:46,208 --> 00:33:50,711
you will be known
as Muhammad Ali.
388
00:33:54,884 --> 00:33:57,259
- What?
- That's right.
389
00:33:57,345 --> 00:33:59,262
You what?
390
00:34:01,767 --> 00:34:05,477
Well, what's wrong with our name?
My name?
391
00:34:05,521 --> 00:34:07,855
We-- We made you.
392
00:34:07,940 --> 00:34:09,398
Ain't nobody made me.
393
00:34:09,484 --> 00:34:11,609
No bow tie-wearin',
Arab-talkin' nigger gonna change that.
394
00:34:11,693 --> 00:34:13,610
Ain't nobody in that ring but me.
I made me.
395
00:34:13,695 --> 00:34:16,196
You don't know who you are.
396
00:34:16,282 --> 00:34:19,033
I know who I ain't.
I ain't drinkin'.
397
00:34:19,119 --> 00:34:21,411
I ain't going back on my wife
and for sure I ain't prayin'...
398
00:34:21,495 --> 00:34:23,662
to no blond-haired,
blue-eyed Jesus.
399
00:34:23,706 --> 00:34:27,667
Paintin' those blue-eyed, blond-haired
Jesuses is what put food in you.
400
00:34:27,753 --> 00:34:30,420
- Steak and vegetables on the table.
- It's dinner!
401
00:34:36,053 --> 00:34:37,970
Go ahead.
402
00:34:39,097 --> 00:34:40,429
Go ahead.
403
00:35:02,373 --> 00:35:03,622
Hello?
404
00:35:04,542 --> 00:35:07,084
Here you go, Daddy.
405
00:35:07,168 --> 00:35:08,709
Thank you, baby.
406
00:35:08,753 --> 00:35:11,212
- Yeah?
- Brother Malcolm.
407
00:35:11,256 --> 00:35:15,300
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has given
the Muslim name of Muhammad Ali...
408
00:35:15,385 --> 00:35:18,136
to Cassius X.
409
00:35:18,222 --> 00:35:21,640
Herbert Muhammad has been put
in charge of his training.
410
00:35:21,727 --> 00:35:23,977
He will not be traveling
with you to Africa.
411
00:35:24,061 --> 00:35:26,687
He also asked me
to inform you...
412
00:35:26,772 --> 00:35:29,773
that your suspension
will be extended indefinitely.
413
00:35:40,413 --> 00:35:42,872
Brother Cassius
won't be coming to Africa.
414
00:35:46,460 --> 00:35:48,418
Not with me.
415
00:35:52,383 --> 00:35:54,508
Don't put it off.
416
00:35:59,765 --> 00:36:01,682
We'll be fine.
417
00:36:06,815 --> 00:36:08,189
I will.
418
00:36:08,274 --> 00:36:11,442
I got a little doll
for Atallah.
419
00:36:11,487 --> 00:36:12,569
Really?
420
00:36:12,655 --> 00:36:14,279
Yeah, it’s beautiful.
421
00:36:14,323 --> 00:36:17,157
I've got so much
to show the girls when I get back.
422
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,617
- I'm taking a lot of pictures.
- Yeah?
423
00:36:19,661 --> 00:36:21,995
Yeah, I got some good stuff
I want to show you.
424
00:36:22,081 --> 00:36:23,998
Are you eating?
425
00:36:25,001 --> 00:36:27,585
Well, you're not cooking, so--
426
00:36:27,670 --> 00:36:30,296
- What's going on? Anything?
- Nothing.
427
00:36:31,258 --> 00:36:33,383
He's on the phone,
talking to his wife.
428
00:36:33,469 --> 00:36:36,637
She's having a hard time sleeping,
the baby's kicking a lot...
429
00:36:36,721 --> 00:36:39,013
what are they gonna
name the baby.
430
00:36:41,852 --> 00:36:45,896
I just wake up a couple of times
in the night, but it’s okay.
431
00:36:58,494 --> 00:37:00,869
Would you like to take a seat?
432
00:37:00,914 --> 00:37:02,872
Sure, thank you.
433
00:37:06,545 --> 00:37:08,754
What y'all done did
with the real pilot?
434
00:37:08,839 --> 00:37:11,715
I am the pilot.
He's the copilot.
435
00:37:11,757 --> 00:37:13,715
Here. Sit down, Mr. Clay.
436
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,177
Oh, man.
437
00:37:16,221 --> 00:37:20,182
In Louisville, where I growed up,
they barely let black folks drive buses.
438
00:38:59,997 --> 00:39:01,246
Muhammad!
439
00:39:04,711 --> 00:39:08,505
Hey, brother.
What's going on, man?
440
00:39:12,678 --> 00:39:14,636
- What you doing here?
- I was just going to the airport.
441
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,306
We just got here now.
So where you going?
442
00:39:17,348 --> 00:39:18,305
Liberia.
443
00:39:18,349 --> 00:39:21,809
Say hello to Maya Angelou right here
and Ambassador Huang Hua.
444
00:39:21,854 --> 00:39:24,688
And that is Taher Kaid.
He's the ambassador from Algeria.
445
00:39:24,774 --> 00:39:27,942
Oh, man. Where should I go?
I wanna go all over this place.
446
00:39:28,027 --> 00:39:30,152
Go to Algeria.
See Ben Bella.
447
00:39:30,238 --> 00:39:34,532
Then go to see Mecca and Medina.
I just came from there.
448
00:39:34,616 --> 00:39:36,950
Made my seven circuits
around the Kaaba.
449
00:39:37,036 --> 00:39:40,162
I prayed at sunrise. Two million people.
Pilgrims from all over, man.
450
00:39:40,206 --> 00:39:43,374
Dressed the same.
High and low, the same.
451
00:39:43,459 --> 00:39:47,295
Blond-haired, blue-eyed Muslims,
Arabs, Africans, Indonesians.
452
00:40:02,104 --> 00:40:05,022
Seeing brothers just like us,
praying together, it was beautiful.
453
00:40:05,066 --> 00:40:07,108
I drank water
from the well of Zem Zem.
454
00:40:07,194 --> 00:40:12,239
I prayed in the ancient city of Mena.
I prayed on Mount Arafat.
455
00:40:12,323 --> 00:40:14,740
You shouldn't have quarreled
with Elijah Muhammad.
456
00:40:16,077 --> 00:40:18,286
Walking in their footsteps.
457
00:40:18,372 --> 00:40:19,996
All of us together.
458
00:40:20,081 --> 00:40:22,915
You shouldn't have quarreled
with the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
459
00:40:23,752 --> 00:40:25,376
What?
460
00:40:26,547 --> 00:40:29,965
You shouldn't have quarreled
with Elijah Muhammad.
461
00:40:30,050 --> 00:40:32,551
Hey, Brother Muhammad,
look here.
462
00:40:36,891 --> 00:40:38,808
Brother Muhammad!
463
00:41:01,042 --> 00:41:03,042
Listen, I'm sorry
to keep you waiting.
464
00:41:17,142 --> 00:41:18,766
Into each life...
465
00:41:18,852 --> 00:41:20,894
a little rain must fall.
466
00:41:20,980 --> 00:41:23,856
And, you know,
every day cannot be sunny.
467
00:41:23,940 --> 00:41:26,607
Every smile is not
a smile of happiness.
468
00:41:26,651 --> 00:41:28,150
And every tear that is shed--
469
00:41:28,195 --> 00:41:30,445
Sonji, Sonji, Sonji.
470
00:41:30,489 --> 00:41:34,241
- What you keep saying my name for?
- 'Cause I love it, girl.
471
00:41:34,326 --> 00:41:36,701
-How long you been working with Herbert?
-About a year.
472
00:41:36,788 --> 00:41:39,664
I sell Muhammad Speaks
over the phone.
473
00:41:39,748 --> 00:41:43,542
- What kind of name is that?
- My father named me after Sonja Henie.
474
00:41:44,670 --> 00:41:46,628
What's your father do?
475
00:41:46,673 --> 00:41:50,801
He was shot in a poker game
when I was two, so he don't do nothing.
476
00:41:50,885 --> 00:41:53,302
And my mother died
when I was eleven.
477
00:41:53,347 --> 00:41:56,223
- Who raised you?
- My godparents.
478
00:41:56,309 --> 00:42:00,311
But I been off on my own
for a long time.
479
00:42:01,438 --> 00:42:03,396
What you doing tomorrow?
Go for a ride with me.
480
00:42:03,482 --> 00:42:05,941
- Oh, no, no. I gotta work.
- I'm gonna square it with Herbert.
481
00:42:06,027 --> 00:42:08,903
- Herbert said you met the Beatles.
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
482
00:42:08,988 --> 00:42:11,989
Only one of 'em is smart, though.
The fella with the glasses.
483
00:42:12,033 --> 00:42:14,200
Oh, he is my favorite.
484
00:42:14,286 --> 00:42:16,912
Yeah, folks was screaming
and fainting.
485
00:42:16,996 --> 00:42:19,413
I said, "Man, is this how they act
when you get big?"
486
00:42:19,499 --> 00:42:22,125
- What did he say?
- He said, "Champ...
487
00:42:22,210 --> 00:42:26,087
the more real you get,
the more unreal it's gonna get."
488
00:42:27,007 --> 00:42:29,007
Wow.
489
00:42:34,472 --> 00:42:36,389
Your
490
00:42:37,643 --> 00:42:41,812
Precious love
491
00:42:41,898 --> 00:42:43,606
Love
492
00:42:43,691 --> 00:42:47,527
Means more tome
493
00:42:49,615 --> 00:42:53,784
More, more
494
00:42:53,868 --> 00:42:57,078
Than any love
495
00:42:57,164 --> 00:42:59,581
Can ever bring me
496
00:42:59,625 --> 00:43:02,543
Never came true
497
00:43:02,586 --> 00:43:05,170
Oh, and I
498
00:43:08,093 --> 00:43:10,093
I wanted you
499
00:43:10,176 --> 00:43:12,802
Let me tell ya
I was so lonely
500
00:43:12,888 --> 00:43:16,807
So lonely, lonely
So lonely and so blue
501
00:43:17,894 --> 00:43:20,269
Good God All mighty
502
00:43:20,313 --> 00:43:22,522
That's what love will do
503
00:43:22,607 --> 00:43:24,065
Do
504
00:43:28,988 --> 00:43:31,280
Let's go.
505
00:43:31,366 --> 00:43:32,865
Yeah.
506
00:43:32,951 --> 00:43:34,993
Where you live?
507
00:43:35,079 --> 00:43:36,996
I'm gonna take you there.
508
00:43:38,290 --> 00:43:41,625
And you know I got a man somewhere
out there that I don't mind crawling to.
509
00:43:41,711 --> 00:43:45,046
Sometimes I wake up in the midnight
hour, tears rolling down my face.
510
00:43:45,132 --> 00:43:47,049
And if I look around for my man
and I can't find him...
511
00:43:47,132 --> 00:43:49,591
I follow the Lord,
look a little higher.
512
00:43:49,635 --> 00:43:51,385
Kind of pray to the Lord.
513
00:43:51,471 --> 00:43:54,639
Because I always believed that the Lord
could help me if nobody else could.
514
00:43:54,724 --> 00:43:56,641
But sometime
I think he don't even hear me.
515
00:43:56,685 --> 00:43:59,144
So I have to fall a little lower
on my knees, look a little higher.
516
00:43:59,188 --> 00:44:01,313
Kind of raise my voice
a little higher.
517
00:44:01,399 --> 00:44:03,524
And this is what I say
when I call on my man.
518
00:44:03,608 --> 00:44:07,068
I especially want you ladies to listen
to me 'cause maybe you can try this.
519
00:44:07,154 --> 00:44:09,154
It might help you
every once in a while.
520
00:44:09,240 --> 00:44:11,699
This is what you say
when you call on your man.
521
00:44:11,784 --> 00:44:13,701
Get in tune to--
522
00:44:20,377 --> 00:44:25,172
Darlin'
523
00:44:25,214 --> 00:44:28,716
Darlin; don't you know
524
00:44:28,802 --> 00:44:32,679
That I love you so much, yeah
525
00:44:34,308 --> 00:44:36,600
Fall down on my knees
526
00:44:36,686 --> 00:44:38,769
Beg my baby, please
527
00:44:38,855 --> 00:44:42,398
I got to tell the man
that I love him, yes, I will
528
00:44:45,611 --> 00:44:47,569
For your precious love
529
00:44:47,655 --> 00:44:49,822
For your precious love
530
00:44:49,907 --> 00:44:52,324
There’s nothing
There’s nothing, nothing
531
00:44:52,368 --> 00:44:55,661
In this whole wide world
I wouldn’t do for you, darling
532
00:44:57,539 --> 00:45:00,540
I'll walk all night
out in the rain
533
00:45:00,627 --> 00:45:04,254
Lord, I got to see
my baby again
534
00:45:04,339 --> 00:45:06,923
I got to tell the man
that I love him
535
00:45:07,008 --> 00:45:09,091
One more time, yeah
536
00:45:24,276 --> 00:45:25,775
You ain't no Muslim, huh?
537
00:45:25,862 --> 00:45:29,698
Cover my hair, wear no makeup
and wear those long dresses?
538
00:45:29,741 --> 00:45:31,282
Honey, please.
539
00:45:35,580 --> 00:45:37,079
Were you a virgin?
540
00:45:37,874 --> 00:45:40,959
A virgin? How you gonna--
What you saying?
541
00:45:41,045 --> 00:45:45,423
Well, you were just so gone,
off on a little good time.
542
00:45:45,466 --> 00:45:48,592
Well, no,
I ain't no virgin.
543
00:45:48,678 --> 00:45:50,136
But I may as well be.
544
00:45:51,012 --> 00:45:53,429
I ain't joking.
545
00:45:53,474 --> 00:45:56,225
I always know when I know.
546
00:45:58,313 --> 00:46:00,605
You see this face?
547
00:46:00,648 --> 00:46:02,731
You got a pretty face
for a lady's face...
548
00:46:02,817 --> 00:46:05,234
but you ever seen anything
as pretty as me?
549
00:46:05,279 --> 00:46:07,988
Who wouldn't want
to be with me?
550
00:46:08,074 --> 00:46:10,199
What, you five foot three
or something like that?
551
00:46:10,283 --> 00:46:12,825
That's too small for me,
but I'm gonna make an exception.
552
00:46:12,911 --> 00:46:15,245
- Oh, well, thank you.
- Because of your spirit.
553
00:46:15,289 --> 00:46:17,915
- My spirit?
- Yeah, girl. You too much fun.
554
00:46:17,958 --> 00:46:20,584
- But you got to be a Muslim.
- A Muslim?
555
00:46:20,628 --> 00:46:24,213
And how you do that? You jump over
a broom and, shazam, you're a Muslim?
556
00:46:24,299 --> 00:46:27,133
I ain't never been
with nobody like you.
557
00:46:27,217 --> 00:46:29,217
And, baby...
558
00:46:29,303 --> 00:46:32,638
baby, you ain't never
gonna be with any other.
559
00:46:49,366 --> 00:46:51,324
- What?
- That's right.
560
00:46:53,579 --> 00:46:55,704
I wanna marry her.
561
00:46:57,876 --> 00:46:59,334
True love.
562
00:46:59,377 --> 00:47:02,712
You don't marry that girl.
She was a date.
563
00:47:02,796 --> 00:47:04,462
Have some fun.
564
00:47:04,507 --> 00:47:08,259
She's not your wife.
You don't marry this girl.
565
00:47:08,345 --> 00:47:11,805
Here's some management papers.
I need you to sign right there.
566
00:47:11,848 --> 00:47:13,556
My father would kill me.
567
00:47:14,893 --> 00:47:16,559
Watch what you're signing, Ali.
568
00:47:16,645 --> 00:47:18,562
This ain't got nothing
to do with you.
569
00:47:18,648 --> 00:47:22,817
Anything's to do with me I say is to do
with me, fat boy. I'm still a Christian.
570
00:47:23,485 --> 00:47:26,987
And get me a kosher cook. I want
that lady over at Malcolm's temple.
571
00:47:27,031 --> 00:47:29,114
- Lana Shabazz.
- And put my brother on payroll.
572
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,742
Fifty G a year
just for drivin' and jivin'.
573
00:47:31,828 --> 00:47:34,746
What do you say, Howard?
Come on full-time as my photographer?
574
00:47:34,831 --> 00:47:38,625
I'm not gonna be on the payroll.
I'm freelance. Emphasis on "free."
575
00:47:38,709 --> 00:47:41,376
Muhammad, she's not for you.
576
00:47:41,462 --> 00:47:43,504
When I met her,
she worked in a cocktail lounge...
577
00:47:43,548 --> 00:47:45,673
with a bunny tail
on her backside.
578
00:47:45,718 --> 00:47:48,636
What the hell was you doing
in a bunny tail lounge anyway, Herbert?
579
00:47:48,720 --> 00:47:50,553
Sellin' Muhammad Peeks?
580
00:47:53,393 --> 00:47:57,145
- You been saving it up training, Ali.
- Your ass.
581
00:47:57,229 --> 00:47:59,938
You should spread that stuff around
a little bit before you settle down.
582
00:48:00,024 --> 00:48:03,025
No, man. Marriage is
the cornerstone of Muslim life.
583
00:48:03,069 --> 00:48:07,197
- Yeah, well, Sonji Roi is not a Muslim.
- Well, she's gonna be now.
584
00:48:07,240 --> 00:48:09,657
You just fix it up, Herbert.
585
00:48:27,011 --> 00:48:29,720
Yeah. Okay.
586
00:48:29,806 --> 00:48:32,682
So, why we meeting?
587
00:48:32,766 --> 00:48:35,892
I got Malcolm shoulder to shoulder
with Martin Luther King.
588
00:48:35,937 --> 00:48:38,855
And we got Malcolm traveling all over
the world, getting Ben Bella and Nasser.
589
00:48:42,402 --> 00:48:45,320
We were better off before
with Malcolm inside the Nation.
590
00:48:47,283 --> 00:48:51,077
So we've decided
we want you...
591
00:48:51,119 --> 00:48:54,579
to get Elijah Muhammad
to take Malcolm back.
592
00:49:03,007 --> 00:49:05,049
That's a joke, Joe.
593
00:49:17,272 --> 00:49:20,440
When am I being reimbursed
for my expenses?
594
00:49:20,526 --> 00:49:22,860
Dry-cleaning all these suits
is not free.
595
00:49:24,739 --> 00:49:27,114
We gotta talk about this guy too.
596
00:49:30,828 --> 00:49:34,288
Get me receipts, I'll reimburse you
for your dry cleaning.
597
00:49:43,966 --> 00:49:45,883
- What you drinking?
- What I'm drinking?
598
00:49:45,968 --> 00:49:48,886
Come on, champ. This is water.
You know I'm a natural man.
599
00:49:48,972 --> 00:49:50,388
You know.
600
00:49:50,474 --> 00:49:53,392
- What's going on? We're late.
- I'm changing my damn clothes.
601
00:49:53,477 --> 00:49:56,937
You gave me that look,
so I know you don't like what I had on.
602
00:49:58,357 --> 00:50:00,983
- What is this?
- What you wanted, isn't it?
603
00:50:01,069 --> 00:50:03,278
- A water glass with vodka in it.
- No, that was before.
604
00:50:03,362 --> 00:50:06,780
- Before what, sir?
- Before you showed up. Get out of here.
605
00:50:08,201 --> 00:50:11,327
I'm fine running around here
in these cute, short things for you.
606
00:50:11,412 --> 00:50:13,120
I am submissive to you.
607
00:50:13,206 --> 00:50:16,541
I ain't gonna be submissive to them
Brother X's and Z's...
608
00:50:16,627 --> 00:50:18,502
about what they think.
609
00:50:18,546 --> 00:50:21,130
They ask me a bunch
of questions all the time anyway.
610
00:50:21,214 --> 00:50:23,172
- What questions?
- About you and us.
611
00:50:23,216 --> 00:50:25,967
- And I ain't telling them shit.
- You tell it like it is, sugar.
612
00:50:29,890 --> 00:50:32,724
Took away my boy's name.
What they give him back?
613
00:50:32,768 --> 00:50:34,100
Bad style.
614
00:50:36,815 --> 00:50:41,151
I think you drunk.
Daddy Clay, you're something else.
615
00:50:41,235 --> 00:50:44,695
Now, that's a firecracker right there.
We're gonna have to work with that.
616
00:50:44,781 --> 00:50:46,739
- A scale of one to ten.
- That's right.
617
00:50:46,783 --> 00:50:48,950
I have one-- I had a ten--
Well, I didn't have a ten.
618
00:50:49,035 --> 00:50:51,702
I had a five--
five good twos.
619
00:50:53,249 --> 00:50:56,918
I don't drink. I don't smoke.
I converted to Islam for you.
620
00:50:57,001 --> 00:50:59,877
Okay? l--
All except the dress.
621
00:52:40,653 --> 00:52:43,154
What you doing in my pockets, man?
Get your hand out of my pocket!
622
00:52:43,238 --> 00:52:45,488
- Hold it, my brothers.
- We got a thief in here!
623
00:52:45,532 --> 00:52:47,657
Just be cool.
624
00:52:47,743 --> 00:52:49,326
Be cool.
625
00:53:41,133 --> 00:53:43,008
Brother, you crazy?
626
00:53:43,094 --> 00:53:46,471
They killed Malcolm!
They shot Malcolm! They shot Malcolm!
627
00:53:46,555 --> 00:53:48,472
They shot Malcolm!
628
00:53:50,310 --> 00:53:54,855
...wash it seven times
in the chest and body...
629
00:53:54,938 --> 00:53:57,522
and one in the lower
right shin.
630
00:53:57,608 --> 00:54:01,193
Apparently, the unknown man...
631
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:04,782
walked up
to the speaker's platform...
632
00:54:04,866 --> 00:54:08,660
at the time
Malcolm X was speaking...
633
00:54:10,123 --> 00:54:13,750
opened fire at him
at very short range.
634
00:55:20,864 --> 00:55:24,074
The arena is surrounded by FBI.
635
00:55:24,159 --> 00:55:26,660
The stands are only half full.
636
00:55:26,702 --> 00:55:30,746
The promoter has taken out
a million-dollar insurance policy...
637
00:55:30,832 --> 00:55:36,002
due to Cassius Clay's membership in
the militant and radical black Muslims.
638
00:55:36,088 --> 00:55:40,174
And, oh, by the way,
Sonny Liston is here too.
639
00:55:40,218 --> 00:55:42,844
Touch gloves
and come out fighting.
640
00:56:14,420 --> 00:56:16,003
Come on, son.
641
00:56:16,089 --> 00:56:18,798
- Come on, Chi-Chi.
- Put a whupping on him now.
642
00:56:24,722 --> 00:56:26,889
Ain't nothing changed.
643
00:56:26,974 --> 00:56:29,349
Whup on him now.
Whup up on him.
644
00:56:31,938 --> 00:56:33,813
Way to go!
645
00:56:35,609 --> 00:56:38,568
- There it is!
- Sock it to him, baby!
646
00:56:47,788 --> 00:56:49,204
Yes!
647
00:56:49,290 --> 00:56:51,916
Get up!
Ain't nobody gonna believe this.
648
00:56:52,001 --> 00:56:54,084
Get up!
649
00:56:54,169 --> 00:56:55,335
Yes!
650
00:57:08,477 --> 00:57:10,435
Confused.
We're confused.
651
00:57:12,063 --> 00:57:14,480
- Check his time.
- Timekeeper's sounding it's over.
652
00:57:14,524 --> 00:57:16,482
Check his time!
653
00:57:18,612 --> 00:57:19,694
It is over!
654
00:57:32,084 --> 00:57:34,501
I think the champ
was in a hurry.
655
00:57:43,180 --> 00:57:44,596
Are you okay?
656
00:57:46,684 --> 00:57:48,767
What's wrong?
657
00:57:48,852 --> 00:57:51,770
Why you all done up like that?
658
00:57:54,525 --> 00:57:57,026
I'm out there dying for you
out of worry.
659
00:57:57,111 --> 00:57:58,610
- Worry?
- Yes.
660
00:57:58,696 --> 00:58:01,113
And all you can think about
is if I look dull enough?
661
00:58:01,908 --> 00:58:05,034
What if I straightened my hair
and moved into some white suburb?
662
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,162
How I am says something.
663
00:58:31,272 --> 00:58:33,647
You want me to go get her?
664
00:58:46,246 --> 00:58:47,412
Not now.
665
00:58:47,497 --> 00:58:49,414
- Not right now, fellas.
- Not now.
666
00:58:55,089 --> 00:58:58,549
- What I got to do?
- About Sonji?
667
00:58:58,593 --> 00:59:00,885
Have no contact with her
for 90 days.
668
00:59:00,969 --> 00:59:03,219
Make a public statement
of divorce at the mosque...
669
00:59:03,264 --> 00:59:05,473
and Islamic law
will be satisfied.
670
00:59:05,558 --> 00:59:09,018
Satisfaction is not making it with
the woman who send you to the moon?
671
00:59:09,103 --> 00:59:11,061
I'm the only normal person
left around here.
672
00:59:11,147 --> 00:59:13,731
I'm a black Jew, I can't read
and I'm half drunk.
673
00:59:15,903 --> 00:59:17,361
I need to talk to you.
674
00:59:18,780 --> 00:59:21,906
- No, you can stay, Brother Herbert.
- Brother? He ain't your brother.
675
00:59:21,992 --> 00:59:25,202
Your brother's taking your wife back
to Chicago. She's crying like a widow.
676
00:59:25,287 --> 00:59:27,954
- Well, I ain't dead.
- Well, you may as well be.
677
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,582
You don't remember your name
or who you are.
678
01:00:44,162 --> 01:00:46,746
You gonna try for Germany?
679
01:00:46,830 --> 01:00:48,538
You gonna try to get
stationed in Germany?
680
01:00:48,624 --> 01:00:53,377
- Everybody is trying to avoid Vietnam.
- What you talkin' about, man?
681
01:00:53,463 --> 01:00:56,464
They changed your classification.
It's in the paper.
682
01:00:56,550 --> 01:00:58,341
- What?
- Champ. Eskridge.
683
01:00:58,385 --> 01:00:59,843
You're 1A.
684
01:01:02,891 --> 01:01:05,350
They tryin' to draft me in the army?
You know about this?
685
01:01:05,392 --> 01:01:06,641
Okay, here we go.
686
01:01:07,770 --> 01:01:11,814
All right, all right.
Hey, I got to go.
687
01:01:15,737 --> 01:01:17,737
They started runnin'.
688
01:01:19,908 --> 01:01:20,031
You know, so I went down there,
I did everything I was supposed to do...
689
01:01:20,033 --> 01:01:22,575
You know, so I went down there,
I did everything I was supposed to do...
690
01:01:22,660 --> 01:01:24,577
and I flunked
their draft board test.
691
01:01:24,662 --> 01:01:28,748
Then without testing me again,
to see if I'm any wiser or worser...
692
01:01:28,834 --> 01:01:31,251
they decide
I can go in the army?
693
01:01:31,337 --> 01:01:33,587
- Cassius, in my opinion--
- My name ain't Cassius Clay.
694
01:01:33,672 --> 01:01:36,214
That is a slave name,
and I am a free man.
695
01:01:36,300 --> 01:01:37,883
I am Muhammad Ali.
696
01:01:37,969 --> 01:01:43,223
You know, I apologize.
I apologize to you on the air.
697
01:01:43,307 --> 01:01:45,516
Your name is Muhammad Ali.
698
01:01:45,601 --> 01:01:47,726
You have a right to be called
whatever you want.
699
01:01:47,812 --> 01:01:49,770
I apologize to you.
700
01:01:49,814 --> 01:01:53,399
You sure make a lot of mistakes
for a so-called educated man.
701
01:01:53,485 --> 01:01:55,902
- You really went to law school?
- Yes, Muhammad.
702
01:01:55,946 --> 01:01:59,740
And to think I gave up a lucrative
practice for the likes of you.
703
01:01:59,782 --> 01:02:01,782
I'm the best thing
ever happened to you, Cosell.
704
01:02:01,868 --> 01:02:05,704
Without me, you'd be a tall white man
with a microphone in his mouth.
705
01:02:05,790 --> 01:02:09,041
And without me,
you'd be a mouth.
706
01:02:15,968 --> 01:02:17,885
We'll be right back.
707
01:02:19,303 --> 01:02:22,930
- You want some food for that thing?
- How could you do such a thing?
708
01:02:23,016 --> 01:02:25,642
- 'Cause it's funny.
- To someone you revere.
709
01:02:25,727 --> 01:02:28,645
- That thing almost bit my finger off.
- Mr. Bundini...
710
01:02:28,689 --> 01:02:32,942
I'm glad you were here
to witness this-- this assault.
711
01:02:35,695 --> 01:02:38,321
Have a little coffee
with your sugar.
712
01:02:42,412 --> 01:02:44,329
They're coming after you...
713
01:02:44,413 --> 01:02:47,956
because they're scared of
black militancy in the inner cities.
714
01:02:49,419 --> 01:02:53,839
I ain't no H. Rap Brown.
I ain't no Stokely Carmichael.
715
01:02:53,881 --> 01:02:55,672
All they are is political.
716
01:02:55,758 --> 01:02:58,342
You're the heavyweight
champion of the world.
717
01:03:14,153 --> 01:03:16,278
Here's the deal the government offered.
You do six weeks in basic.
718
01:03:16,364 --> 01:03:18,865
You go to the reserves.
You don't go to Vietnam.
719
01:03:18,950 --> 01:03:21,868
Now, the messenger would not object
if you joined under those terms.
720
01:03:21,953 --> 01:03:23,744
I stay out of jail and keep boxing.
721
01:03:23,830 --> 01:03:26,122
If you accept the induction,
life goes on.
722
01:03:36,886 --> 01:03:36,925
Marvin Decker Anderson,
US Army.
723
01:03:36,928 --> 01:03:40,680
Marvin Decker Anderson,
US Army.
724
01:03:42,392 --> 01:03:45,977
Juan Raymondo Benitez,
US Army.
725
01:03:47,980 --> 01:03:51,231
Pryce Marshall Benson,
US Marines.
726
01:03:55,738 --> 01:03:59,866
Cassius Marcellus Clay,
US Army.
727
01:04:11,088 --> 01:04:12,879
Mr. Clay,
I'm required to inform you...
728
01:04:12,964 --> 01:04:15,923
that refusal to accept
a lawful induction order...
729
01:04:16,719 --> 01:04:18,928
constitutes a felony...
730
01:04:19,014 --> 01:04:22,724
under the Universal Military
Training and Service Act...
731
01:04:22,766 --> 01:04:26,852
punishable by
five years imprisonment...
732
01:04:26,938 --> 01:04:29,772
and a $10,000 fine.
733
01:04:29,858 --> 01:04:31,441
Do you understand?
734
01:04:32,026 --> 01:04:34,401
Yes, sir.
735
01:04:54,134 --> 01:04:56,885
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
736
01:04:56,971 --> 01:04:59,805
Mr. Clay, you're under arrest
for refusing induction.
737
01:05:37,887 --> 01:05:39,929
Yeah.
738
01:05:40,015 --> 01:05:42,224
Yeah, this is me.
739
01:05:42,309 --> 01:05:46,019
No, you got to ask Chauncey Eskridge.
That's my lawyer. He's in Chicago.
740
01:05:47,857 --> 01:05:49,774
No, I'm out on bail.
741
01:05:51,860 --> 01:05:55,237
No, man, I ain't never
shot nothin' in my life.
742
01:05:55,322 --> 01:05:59,241
No ducks, no geese,
no deer, no nothin'.
743
01:05:59,327 --> 01:06:02,954
Yeah, I know where Vietnam is.
It's on TV.
744
01:06:04,499 --> 01:06:08,293
Southeast Asia?
What, it's there too?
745
01:06:12,257 --> 01:06:14,424
What do I think about who?
746
01:06:14,509 --> 01:06:16,050
The Vietcong?
747
01:06:18,388 --> 01:06:21,556
Man, I ain't got no quarrel
with them Vietcong.
748
01:06:23,186 --> 01:06:26,479
Ain't no Vietcong
ever called me nigger.
749
01:06:27,439 --> 01:06:29,481
Yeah, that's right.
750
01:06:34,447 --> 01:06:37,114
You know what you're doin', Ali?
751
01:06:38,410 --> 01:06:40,201
You know what you just said?
752
01:06:40,871 --> 01:06:42,913
Everyone, Europe to China,
every home in America...
753
01:06:42,999 --> 01:06:45,041
everyone’s gonna know what the
heavyweight champion of the world...
754
01:06:45,084 --> 01:06:47,209
said about the US war.
755
01:06:49,004 --> 01:06:52,005
So what? So what?
I ain't got to be...
756
01:06:52,091 --> 01:06:54,049
what nobody else
want me to be...
757
01:06:54,093 --> 01:06:56,760
and I ain't afraid to be
what I wanna be...
758
01:06:56,846 --> 01:06:58,846
think how I wanna think.
759
01:07:17,785 --> 01:07:20,786
I got almost nowhere I can
promote a fight for you.
760
01:07:20,872 --> 01:07:23,289
Plus I think they're gonna
vacate you from the crown.
761
01:07:23,373 --> 01:07:25,623
- What?
- Yeah, if you're convicted.
762
01:07:27,295 --> 01:07:30,505
Oh, so they're gonna take from me
what no fighter in the world can.
763
01:07:30,589 --> 01:07:32,547
And New York may revoke
your boxing license.
764
01:07:32,633 --> 01:07:35,592
You sure you wanna do this?
765
01:07:35,679 --> 01:07:38,764
The next three to four years
are every heavyweight's prime.
766
01:07:38,849 --> 01:07:41,725
There are few of those years.
767
01:07:44,479 --> 01:07:47,605
- What about Terrell?
- We'll know about that this afternoon.
768
01:07:47,650 --> 01:07:50,943
I gotta find us some venues fast.
I'll call you later.
769
01:07:55,575 --> 01:08:01,121
You understand the issue is your
license to fight Terrell in Illinois?
770
01:08:01,205 --> 01:08:02,788
Yes.
771
01:08:02,874 --> 01:08:05,124
Then are you prepared
to apologize...
772
01:08:05,210 --> 01:08:07,919
about your unpatriotic remarks
about the war?
773
01:08:17,347 --> 01:08:20,014
- You say you're the people's champion.
- Yes, sir.
774
01:08:20,100 --> 01:08:22,601
Do you think you're acting
like the people's champion?
775
01:08:22,687 --> 01:08:25,730
Yes, sir.
I'm not gonna apologize to you.
776
01:08:25,814 --> 01:08:29,357
This is not a courtroom, and I do not
have to answer your questions.
777
01:08:38,286 --> 01:08:41,162
- What about Terrell?
- We'll fight in another state!
778
01:08:41,206 --> 01:08:43,623
- Are you gonna dodge the draft?
- I ain't draft-dodgin'...
779
01:08:43,708 --> 01:08:46,167
I ain't burnin' no flag,
and I ain't runnin' to Canada.
780
01:08:46,253 --> 01:08:49,212
I'm stayin' right here.
You wanna send me to jail?
781
01:08:49,298 --> 01:08:51,590
Fine. You go right ahead.
I've been in jail for 400 years.
782
01:08:51,674 --> 01:08:53,591
I can be there
for four or five more.
783
01:08:53,677 --> 01:08:55,594
But I ain't going'
no 10,000 miles...
784
01:08:55,679 --> 01:08:58,180
to help murder and kill
other poor people.
785
01:08:58,266 --> 01:09:02,560
If I wanna die, I'll die right here
right now, fightin' you, if I wanna die.
786
01:09:02,645 --> 01:09:06,564
You my enemy. Not no Chinese,
no Vietcong, no Japanese.
787
01:09:06,650 --> 01:09:08,692
You my opposer
when I want freedom.
788
01:09:08,775 --> 01:09:12,485
You my opposer when I want justice.
You my opposer when I want equality.
789
01:09:12,572 --> 01:09:14,280
You want me to go somewhere
and fight for you.
790
01:09:14,366 --> 01:09:16,366
You won't even stand up for me
right here in America...
791
01:09:16,410 --> 01:09:18,368
for my rights
and my religious beliefs.
792
01:09:18,411 --> 01:09:20,745
You won't even stand up for me
right here at home.
793
01:09:23,250 --> 01:09:25,333
- Which guy you want to go first?
- You, sir.
794
01:09:25,420 --> 01:09:28,379
Tell Clay he gettin' on after me.
I'm the champ.
795
01:09:28,421 --> 01:09:31,297
- What?
- I said you can get on after me.
796
01:09:31,383 --> 01:09:34,050
- No. What'd you call me?
- I called you Clay.
797
01:09:34,137 --> 01:09:36,721
You will announce it from right here,
from flat on your back.
798
01:09:36,764 --> 01:09:38,806
What's my name?
What's my name?
799
01:09:40,685 --> 01:09:44,729
What's my name? Say my name!
You gonna say my name!
800
01:09:44,772 --> 01:09:47,439
Your mama called you Clay!
I'm gonna call you Clay!
801
01:09:47,525 --> 01:09:49,567
I want you all to tell
all their aunts...
802
01:09:49,611 --> 01:09:51,611
and all their uncles
and cousins and friends...
803
01:09:51,655 --> 01:09:54,156
get to your television set,
get to your radio...
804
01:09:54,241 --> 01:09:56,783
'cause I never wanted
to whup a man so bad!
805
01:10:10,884 --> 01:10:13,677
What's my name?
What's my name?
806
01:11:09,362 --> 01:11:13,448
What's my name, motherfucker?
What's my name?
807
01:11:16,368 --> 01:11:18,451
What's my name?
808
01:11:38,225 --> 01:11:40,517
The jury has found you guilty
of refusing induction...
809
01:11:40,603 --> 01:11:43,896
into the United States
Armed Forces.
810
01:11:43,981 --> 01:11:46,023
Does the defense have anything
it wants to say?
811
01:11:46,109 --> 01:11:49,527
Yeah, I'd appreciate if the court would
just give me my sentence right now...
812
01:11:49,572 --> 01:11:52,907
rather than waitin' and stallin'.
813
01:11:52,990 --> 01:11:54,531
Very well.
814
01:11:57,287 --> 01:12:00,747
I sentence you to
the maximum sentence allowable:
815
01:12:00,791 --> 01:12:04,042
five years imprisonment
and a fine of $10,000.
816
01:12:05,630 --> 01:12:07,713
Doubtless your lawyer
will lodge an appeal...
817
01:12:07,757 --> 01:12:11,050
so while you're free on bond, I order
that your passport be surrendered.
818
01:12:11,844 --> 01:12:16,556
I'll not have you benefiting yourself
by fighting abroad.
819
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:18,725
This court is adjourned.
820
01:12:58,310 --> 01:12:58,349
Hold on. Watch this.
I've been working on this at home.
821
01:12:58,352 --> 01:13:01,937
Hold on. Watch this.
I've been working on this at home.
822
01:13:01,979 --> 01:13:04,021
Just relax.
823
01:13:04,107 --> 01:13:07,484
See? 'Cause it's spooky and sometimes
people get scared and run.
824
01:13:07,528 --> 01:13:09,778
Pay attention.
This is very spooky.
825
01:13:12,449 --> 01:13:14,783
Go ahead.
Blow on that for me.
826
01:13:20,874 --> 01:13:22,791
See, you don't need
to fight no more.
827
01:13:26,590 --> 01:13:29,174
You don't remember me, do you?
828
01:13:31,052 --> 01:13:35,263
Yeah. I remember somethin'.
What's your name?
829
01:13:35,349 --> 01:13:37,641
- You know my name.
- I know your name.
830
01:13:37,725 --> 01:13:41,143
You came to my school
right before you won the title.
831
01:13:41,188 --> 01:13:43,855
I interviewed you
for my school paper.
832
01:13:43,941 --> 01:13:46,150
I was eleven.
833
01:13:47,236 --> 01:13:49,653
You had a long braid.
834
01:13:49,697 --> 01:13:51,697
Yeah.
835
01:13:51,783 --> 01:13:54,659
- You called me "Little Indian Girl."
- Wow.
836
01:13:56,036 --> 01:13:58,161
- Man, that was you.
- That was me.
837
01:13:59,415 --> 01:14:02,708
And I loved you then,
just like all them kids did.
838
01:14:02,794 --> 01:14:05,044
I never stopped.
I still do.
839
01:15:09,948 --> 01:15:12,282
Hey, did you see
that Ellis-Quary fight?
840
01:15:12,367 --> 01:15:14,242
Yeah.
841
01:15:16,288 --> 01:15:19,456
We're gonna be in front of
the US Court of Appeals next month.
842
01:15:19,542 --> 01:15:20,582
We're gonna lose.
843
01:15:20,626 --> 01:15:23,585
- We'll appeal to the Supreme Court.
-Jimmy Ellis, the champ.
844
01:15:23,630 --> 01:15:26,339
Man, I've been whupping on that boy
since I was 16.
845
01:15:26,423 --> 01:15:29,049
All that's gonna happen,
they gonna give Ellis to Frazier...
846
01:15:29,135 --> 01:15:31,761
Frazier's gonna kill him,
then what?
847
01:15:31,805 --> 01:15:34,890
Where's the gate?
Then they got to let me fight.
848
01:15:36,309 --> 01:15:40,270
Jimmy Ellis.
Fight that boy in a phone booth.
849
01:15:40,356 --> 01:15:44,358
Fight him in the middle of Times Square.
You think that'd draw a crowd?
850
01:15:44,442 --> 01:15:47,985
Champ, draw a crowd
or not draw a crowd...
851
01:15:48,072 --> 01:15:50,781
it's not gonna make a difference
with your boxing licenses.
852
01:15:54,370 --> 01:15:57,121
The ACLU's handling your case
against the New York Boxing Commission.
853
01:15:57,207 --> 01:15:59,958
They've discovered that New York's
got actual ex-murderers...
854
01:16:00,002 --> 01:16:02,628
and ex-rapists
currently licensed to fight.
855
01:16:02,711 --> 01:16:05,170
But revoke yours?
856
01:16:05,214 --> 01:16:08,465
They don't want you to fight.
857
01:16:08,552 --> 01:16:09,884
- Tijuana.
- No.
858
01:16:09,969 --> 01:16:12,845
State Department refuses permission
for the one-hour visa.
859
01:16:12,890 --> 01:16:15,641
No fight in Tijuana.
Look--
860
01:16:15,726 --> 01:16:19,103
Can't fight here.
Can't fight outside the country.
861
01:16:19,187 --> 01:16:21,104
I know people
in the restaurant business.
862
01:16:21,189 --> 01:16:23,690
They want to start a chain.
Muhammad Ali Champ Burgers.
863
01:16:23,776 --> 01:16:26,110
Muhammad Malts,
Fistful of Fries.
864
01:16:26,195 --> 01:16:28,028
All of that.
865
01:16:28,113 --> 01:16:30,155
Why do I wanna be
in the restaurant business?
866
01:16:30,199 --> 01:16:31,490
'Cause you need the money.
867
01:16:31,576 --> 01:16:34,494
- How much all this gonna cost?
- Too much.
868
01:16:36,332 --> 01:16:38,707
They do that to you too, you know.
869
01:16:38,791 --> 01:16:40,749
They bust you out.
870
01:16:53,892 --> 01:16:54,891
All right.
871
01:16:58,896 --> 01:17:01,397
Go get me some
Champ Burgers.
872
01:17:11,786 --> 01:17:13,744
Did y'all see that?
That man just hit me.
873
01:17:13,786 --> 01:17:17,329
Oh, you done messed up now, sucka.
You done messed up--
874
01:17:17,416 --> 01:17:19,708
I don't wanna do nothin'
in front of your daughters, though.
875
01:17:19,752 --> 01:17:21,919
I can't beat you up
in front of your daughters.
876
01:17:22,004 --> 01:17:25,798
- Hey, champ, good to see you.
- All right, ladies. Take care now.
877
01:17:25,883 --> 01:17:27,925
All right now.
All right now.
878
01:17:38,814 --> 01:17:42,441
You called me "Little Indian Girl"
'cause I wore my hair in a braid.
879
01:17:44,820 --> 01:17:46,778
And then I said,
"Man, you scribble.
880
01:17:48,241 --> 01:17:49,865
You can't even write.
881
01:17:49,949 --> 01:17:52,408
Need to go back to school
till you learn how to do it better."
882
01:17:52,452 --> 01:17:55,870
Now, why you just havin'
a fresh mouth talkin' to me.
883
01:17:55,957 --> 01:17:57,915
So you think that's funny, huh?
884
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:00,793
Telling me I can't write,
that I scribble.
885
01:18:01,546 --> 01:18:03,713
Now you wanna try
to make up with me.
886
01:18:03,799 --> 01:18:06,925
- This will make everything better.
- Shut up.
887
01:18:25,695 --> 01:18:28,279
Mommy and Daddy
moved to Mexico!
888
01:18:46,384 --> 01:18:48,342
Come on, baby.
889
01:18:49,430 --> 01:18:51,555
Oh, sweetie, come on.
890
01:19:05,237 --> 01:19:08,822
We will give you five minutes
to leave this area.
891
01:19:12,287 --> 01:19:14,871
Who is the heavyweight champion
of the world?
892
01:19:26,260 --> 01:19:28,260
What's happenin'?
893
01:19:43,194 --> 01:19:45,653
- Hey, man.
- We lost on the appellate level...
894
01:19:45,738 --> 01:19:46,945
in New Orleans.
895
01:19:47,031 --> 01:19:49,865
- We're heading to the Supreme Court.
- We already got turned down there.
896
01:19:49,910 --> 01:19:54,705
I'm petitioning on a conscientious
objection basis. Religious belief.
897
01:19:54,789 --> 01:19:57,957
I believe that they'll hear that.
898
01:19:58,043 --> 01:20:01,044
Where the money
gonna come from, Chauncey?
899
01:20:01,130 --> 01:20:04,799
Herbert say I'm runnin' on empty.
Now, just put aside...
900
01:20:04,884 --> 01:20:06,634
"How did that happen?"
901
01:20:06,719 --> 01:20:11,556
License all revoked, passport gone,
can't fight here, can't fight nowhere.
902
01:20:11,642 --> 01:20:13,725
Then what happen if I lose
at the Supreme Court?
903
01:20:16,229 --> 01:20:18,521
Then you go to jail for five years.
904
01:21:34,228 --> 01:21:36,979
Oh, I saw Bundini
when I was in Europe.
905
01:21:37,064 --> 01:21:41,525
- Yeah? How is he?
- He's bad. He's in bad shape, man.
906
01:21:41,568 --> 01:21:44,486
You better get your belt back
907
01:21:48,660 --> 01:21:51,453
Look at this.
908
01:21:51,537 --> 01:21:53,996
Joe Frazier.
He can't up no gate.
909
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:57,083
Can't fill no arena.
They got to let me fight.
910
01:21:57,169 --> 01:21:58,710
Fight.
911
01:22:02,090 --> 01:22:07,427
If that happens, promise me you’ll
put some new people around you.
912
01:22:10,224 --> 01:22:12,099
What you talkin' about?
913
01:22:13,269 --> 01:22:15,519
Where Herbert and them
when we need 'em?
914
01:22:15,564 --> 01:22:19,900
Gene Kilroy's dropping off groceries
like charity.
915
01:22:22,111 --> 01:22:25,279
We borrow money from my folks.
916
01:22:25,365 --> 01:22:29,785
They're all over you when you got it,
and then they just drop off you...
917
01:22:29,870 --> 01:22:31,536
when you don't.
918
01:22:44,010 --> 01:22:46,928
Norton, he's big and strong,
but he ain't nothin'.
919
01:22:47,013 --> 01:22:50,223
Hold on a second, Joe.
They're telling me we have a caller.
920
01:22:50,308 --> 01:22:53,643
- Go ahead, please.
- Cosell, this is Muhammad Ali.
921
01:22:53,727 --> 01:22:54,976
It's Muhammad Ali.
922
01:22:55,062 --> 01:22:57,145
Everybody knows
that I am the champ.
923
01:22:57,232 --> 01:23:00,609
The crown is a lie. I know it's a lie.
Joe Frazier knows it's a lie.
924
01:23:00,694 --> 01:23:03,069
And it's time for everybody
to stop lying and tell the truth.
925
01:23:03,113 --> 01:23:06,490
Let's tell it like it is.
With your court and boxing problems...
926
01:23:06,575 --> 01:23:08,575
can you get a fight promoted?
927
01:23:08,661 --> 01:23:10,870
I would fight Joe Frazier for free
in a phone booth...
928
01:23:10,954 --> 01:23:13,329
in the middle of Times Square
if I wasn't broke.
929
01:23:13,415 --> 01:23:15,582
Did you say you were broke?
How can you be broke?
930
01:23:15,668 --> 01:23:19,128
You made more money than all previous
heavyweights champions combined.
931
01:23:19,172 --> 01:23:21,714
What about your management?
Surely they have provided for you.
932
01:23:21,799 --> 01:23:24,925
All I'm trying to say is it's time
for everybody to stop lyin'.
933
01:23:25,011 --> 01:23:26,719
Muhammad Ali is the champ.
934
01:23:26,805 --> 01:23:29,848
Get my son Herbert
on the telephone.
935
01:23:29,932 --> 01:23:32,766
Muhammad, thank you for calling in.
I'll relay that to Joe.
936
01:23:32,811 --> 01:23:36,980
And tell Joe I said
he is very ugly.
937
01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:41,610
Muhammad says that he will
fight you anywhere, anytime...
938
01:23:41,695 --> 01:23:46,448
and that the championship really is his
until that battle ensues.
939
01:23:59,673 --> 01:24:03,091
Mr. Ali has sporting blood.
940
01:24:03,177 --> 01:24:06,262
Mr. Ali wants a place
in this sports world.
941
01:24:06,346 --> 01:24:09,097
He loves it too much.
942
01:24:09,182 --> 01:24:13,643
I am therefore suspending Mr. Ali
from the practice of Islam.
943
01:24:13,729 --> 01:24:17,898
He may no longer appear in temple,
pray or teach...
944
01:24:17,984 --> 01:24:23,029
or have any conversation
with any Muslim whatsoever.
945
01:24:26,701 --> 01:24:28,284
Why didn’t you call
an ambulance or a doctor?
946
01:24:28,369 --> 01:24:30,995
Because he gave me your number
when he checked in.
947
01:24:31,039 --> 01:24:33,248
Normally, he's up there
making a lot of noise.
948
01:24:33,333 --> 01:24:35,792
But now he hasn't answered the door
in three days.
949
01:24:39,257 --> 01:24:41,007
- What's that?
- It's daylight.
950
01:24:42,550 --> 01:24:44,508
Get me that short dog.
951
01:24:47,014 --> 01:24:49,348
Give it to me.
952
01:24:52,061 --> 01:24:53,185
What's wrong with you?
953
01:24:53,229 --> 01:24:56,105
Ain't nothin' wrong with me.
My head ain't bad.
954
01:24:56,191 --> 01:24:58,108
- Leave me alone.
- Leave you alone. You called me!
955
01:24:58,193 --> 01:25:00,777
Yes, but that was a week ago.
956
01:25:00,861 --> 01:25:03,070
- Why are you shamin' yourself?
- Let me go, man.
957
01:25:03,156 --> 01:25:04,906
Why you doin' that
to yourself?
958
01:25:04,991 --> 01:25:07,700
- Why you shamin' yourself?
- Ain't nobody shamed.
959
01:25:07,744 --> 01:25:10,036
Ain't nothin' wrong with me.
960
01:25:10,080 --> 01:25:11,913
I'm flyin'.
961
01:25:11,999 --> 01:25:14,082
The Sky Chief talk through me.
I know the word.
962
01:25:14,168 --> 01:25:15,542
- You know low.
- Yeah?
963
01:25:15,587 --> 01:25:17,837
I know low where the king
is goin' back to his throne!
964
01:25:17,921 --> 01:25:20,714
- From the root to the fruit!
- Them rhymes is old, Bundini.
965
01:25:20,758 --> 01:25:22,716
You need to get some new ones.
966
01:25:26,597 --> 01:25:30,433
God don't care about you.
Don't care about me.
967
01:25:30,519 --> 01:25:33,729
In all of everything, we don't mean
nothin'. He don't owe us.
968
01:25:33,814 --> 01:25:35,522
We be.
969
01:25:35,606 --> 01:25:38,899
And that's the onliest thing He did.
970
01:25:38,985 --> 01:25:42,070
But that's good.
That's why we free.
971
01:25:42,114 --> 01:25:45,950
But free ain't easy. Free is real
and real is a motherfucker.
972
01:25:48,204 --> 01:25:50,955
It eats raw meat.
973
01:25:51,041 --> 01:25:53,583
It walk in its own shoes.
974
01:25:53,667 --> 01:25:56,126
It don't ever waiver.
975
01:25:56,212 --> 01:25:57,670
Yeah.
976
01:26:03,636 --> 01:26:06,512
I-- I sold your belt.
977
01:26:07,891 --> 01:26:10,850
I sold your belt to a barber
for $500 on Lenox Avenue.
978
01:26:10,935 --> 01:26:14,437
That's how low I did you.
I couldn't help it. I got a crazy mind.
979
01:26:16,734 --> 01:26:18,859
That belt say you the heavyweight
boxing champion of the world...
980
01:26:18,945 --> 01:26:21,863
and I took that $500...
981
01:26:21,947 --> 01:26:24,364
and I put it in my arm.
982
01:26:26,202 --> 01:26:28,244
That's what I called to tell you.
983
01:26:35,504 --> 01:26:38,797
I heard about the Nation stuff,
the courtroom.
984
01:26:40,717 --> 01:26:42,675
What you gonna do?
985
01:26:53,689 --> 01:26:55,522
Take me back.
986
01:27:03,949 --> 01:27:07,117
I could go down there and get the belt.
I can go get the belt.
987
01:27:46,954 --> 01:27:48,912
Hey, champ.
988
01:28:22,491 --> 01:28:28,412
$1,000 to the man that bring me
Howard Cosell's toupee dead or alive!
989
01:28:28,456 --> 01:28:31,082
Don't bother me.
I'm a world-famous sportscaster...
990
01:28:31,126 --> 01:28:33,418
and you're an ex-champion
with diminished skills.
991
01:28:33,503 --> 01:28:35,253
I can't be seen with you.
992
01:28:38,633 --> 01:28:41,426
- How's it goin', champ?
- Pretty good, man.
993
01:28:47,184 --> 01:28:50,519
Muhammad, I'd do anything for you.
You know that.
994
01:28:50,605 --> 01:28:56,068
But I've got bosses who only
give a damn about Nielsen ratings.
995
01:28:56,151 --> 01:28:58,777
I guarantee...
996
01:28:58,863 --> 01:29:02,657
it will be a historical
and a momentous night.
997
01:29:08,707 --> 01:29:12,125
If they came to me tomorrow and say,
"We want you to fight Joe Frazier.
998
01:29:12,168 --> 01:29:15,169
Madison Square Garden.
Millions and millions of dollars.
999
01:29:15,213 --> 01:29:17,797
Here's your license back."
I will tell them...
1000
01:29:17,883 --> 01:29:19,633
"I will never fight again."
1001
01:29:19,718 --> 01:29:23,178
Frankly, Muhammad, I'm surprised,
because unless you--
1002
01:29:23,222 --> 01:29:25,681
or until you fight Frazier--
1003
01:29:25,767 --> 01:29:29,728
Cosell, are you losin' your hearing
along with your hair?
1004
01:29:29,811 --> 01:29:32,854
Don't put no question to it, man.
I done told you, I'm through fightin'.
1005
01:29:32,940 --> 01:29:35,315
I got a much bigger contender,
a much heavier opponent.
1006
01:29:35,401 --> 01:29:37,318
I'm fightin'
the entire US government.
1007
01:29:38,571 --> 01:29:41,072
Do you think
you're going to jail?
1008
01:29:41,157 --> 01:29:43,824
I don't know. I don't know.
1009
01:29:43,869 --> 01:29:49,498
Joe Frazier told me on this show
that he could knock you out.
1010
01:29:49,541 --> 01:29:51,833
See, there you go agitatin'.
1011
01:29:51,877 --> 01:29:55,754
You should've asked Smokin' Joe
what have he been smokin'?
1012
01:29:55,839 --> 01:29:59,591
That boy even dream he whupped me,
he better wake up and apologize.
1013
01:29:59,677 --> 01:30:01,719
If I was to get in the ring with Joe...
1014
01:30:01,805 --> 01:30:03,722
here's what you might see.
1015
01:30:03,805 --> 01:30:08,517
Ali comes out to meet Frazier,
but Frazier starts to retreat.
1016
01:30:08,561 --> 01:30:12,814
If Joe goes back an inch farther,
he'll wind up in a ringside seat.
1017
01:30:12,898 --> 01:30:16,024
Ali swings with his left,
Ali swings with his right.
1018
01:30:16,111 --> 01:30:18,278
Just look at the kid
carry the fight.
1019
01:30:18,363 --> 01:30:20,947
Frazier keeps backin',
but there's not enough room.
1020
01:30:21,033 --> 01:30:24,493
It's only a matter of time
before Ali lowers the boom.
1021
01:30:24,577 --> 01:30:27,370
Ali swings with his right.
What a beautiful swing.
1022
01:30:27,456 --> 01:30:30,374
But the punch lifts Frazier
clean out of the ring.
1023
01:30:30,417 --> 01:30:33,210
Frazier's still risin',
and the referee wears a frown...
1024
01:30:33,295 --> 01:30:36,672
'cause he can't start countin'
till Frazier comes down.
1025
01:30:36,758 --> 01:30:40,093
Frazier's disappeared from view.
The crowd is getting frantic.
1026
01:30:40,177 --> 01:30:44,138
But our radar stations picked him up.
He's somewhere over the Atlantic.
1027
01:30:44,223 --> 01:30:46,473
Now, who would've thought
when they came to the fight...
1028
01:30:46,559 --> 01:30:50,520
they was gonna witness the launchin'
of a black satellite.
1029
01:30:50,605 --> 01:30:53,106
But don't wait for that fight.
1030
01:30:53,192 --> 01:30:55,359
It ain't never gonna happen.
1031
01:30:55,444 --> 01:30:57,527
Only thing you could do...
1032
01:30:57,612 --> 01:31:01,114
is wonder and imagine.
1033
01:31:01,700 --> 01:31:07,538
This has been another
sports exclusive from ABC.
1034
01:31:07,623 --> 01:31:09,623
- Two. Go two.
- Over to Jim McKay...
1035
01:31:09,709 --> 01:31:11,959
in Bern, Switzerland.
1036
01:31:12,045 --> 01:31:14,254
- How you gonna go from me to Jim McKay?
- Listen, uh--
1037
01:31:15,464 --> 01:31:19,133
- Did your wife leave you yet?
- No, she hasn't left me yet.
1038
01:31:19,218 --> 01:31:21,552
She's going to, 'cause I
told your wife when I seen her...
1039
01:31:21,638 --> 01:31:24,889
I said, "Listen, why you
doin' this to yourself?"
1040
01:31:34,025 --> 01:31:37,610
Oh, man, Joe.
Who dresses you?
1041
01:31:37,696 --> 01:31:40,572
You look like the heavyweight
champion of pimps.
1042
01:31:40,658 --> 01:31:42,700
Hey, shut up and get in.
1043
01:31:43,995 --> 01:31:45,536
That jacket’s a mess, man.
1044
01:31:49,835 --> 01:31:52,336
What you in Philly for?
Philly's my town.
1045
01:31:52,420 --> 01:31:55,421
Well, I just wanted to get
a little closer to you, honey.
1046
01:31:55,507 --> 01:31:56,506
Man, fuck you.
1047
01:31:58,844 --> 01:32:02,304
There'll be two undefeated heavyweight
champions, and they ain't fightin'.
1048
01:32:02,347 --> 01:32:05,056
- What about your license?
- I can fight in Atlanta.
1049
01:32:05,142 --> 01:32:07,809
There ain't no state boxing commission
in Georgia.
1050
01:32:07,854 --> 01:32:11,147
It's all set. I do a prelim in Atlanta
against Jerry Quary...
1051
01:32:11,189 --> 01:32:13,815
but we got to get this
steamroller movin' right now.
1052
01:32:13,859 --> 01:32:15,483
So what do I have to do?
1053
01:32:15,528 --> 01:32:18,946
All you got to do is announce
that after I whup Jerry Quary...
1054
01:32:19,031 --> 01:32:21,532
you gonna give me a title shot.
1055
01:32:21,618 --> 01:32:24,244
Come on, man.
Say it! Say it!
1056
01:32:33,005 --> 01:32:36,507
What I got and all I got,
I got with these right here.
1057
01:32:36,591 --> 01:32:38,841
Hell, man, I already got the title.
1058
01:32:38,928 --> 01:32:43,473
So I ain't got nothin' to win,
but I got eveythin' to lose.
1059
01:32:45,058 --> 01:32:47,433
Yeah, but you know
you ain't the real champ yet.
1060
01:32:56,571 --> 01:32:58,696
You beat Quary...
1061
01:32:58,740 --> 01:33:01,866
I'm gonna get you in the ring.
I'm gonna kick your ass.
1062
01:33:12,796 --> 01:33:15,171
By the way...
1063
01:33:15,258 --> 01:33:19,636
you need any money
or anything to tide you by?
1064
01:33:21,054 --> 01:33:22,971
No, I'm fine.
1065
01:33:37,907 --> 01:33:40,366
Time!
1066
01:33:47,916 --> 01:33:50,542
What you want?
1067
01:33:53,089 --> 01:33:55,047
Take me back, boss.
1068
01:33:56,800 --> 01:33:58,717
I'm clean.
1069
01:33:58,803 --> 01:34:03,181
This is a resurrection.
This is God's act.
1070
01:34:03,266 --> 01:34:06,434
And the prophet is goin' home.
1071
01:34:06,519 --> 01:34:08,853
Take me with you, boss.
1072
01:34:09,899 --> 01:34:11,982
I'll do anything.
1073
01:34:22,495 --> 01:34:26,372
Your hands can't hit
what your eyes can't see.
1074
01:34:29,378 --> 01:34:33,214
Float like a butterfly,
sting like a bee.
1075
01:34:33,297 --> 01:34:35,714
Rumble, young man, rumble.
1076
01:34:54,111 --> 01:34:54,275
God ain't watching'!
Ain't nobody but us!
1077
01:34:54,278 --> 01:34:57,821
God ain't watching'!
Ain't nobody but us!
1078
01:35:04,957 --> 01:35:07,791
There it is!
Stay in his face!
1079
01:35:11,671 --> 01:35:13,504
Go, Muhammad!
1080
01:35:25,020 --> 01:35:26,352
There it is!
1081
01:35:32,569 --> 01:35:34,152
Now for the right. Boom!
1082
01:35:40,536 --> 01:35:42,494
Prophet is goin' home
to the throne.
1083
01:35:59,306 --> 01:36:01,515
That's how you do it, Ali.
1084
01:36:01,598 --> 01:36:03,848
That's how you do it.
1085
01:36:10,942 --> 01:36:13,526
You okay?
You're a goddamn Superman.
1086
01:36:13,612 --> 01:36:15,862
Ain't no kryptonite
in this ring tonight.
1087
01:37:00,244 --> 01:37:02,453
- We want Joe Frazier!
- We want him!
1088
01:37:02,539 --> 01:37:07,084
- We want Joe Frazier!
- And you deserve it. You deserve it.
1089
01:37:10,798 --> 01:37:13,841
This prophet is comin' home,
goin' from the darkness to the light.
1090
01:37:16,636 --> 01:37:18,886
Soak it in this
for about 20 minutes.
1091
01:37:21,016 --> 01:37:23,850
We don't need their management.
1092
01:37:24,812 --> 01:37:28,189
Hey, Herbert, we did good.
Doin' good tonight.
1093
01:37:39,870 --> 01:37:41,620
All praise to Allah.
1094
01:37:45,167 --> 01:37:47,709
The messenger has lifted
your suspension.
1095
01:37:47,795 --> 01:37:49,712
Congratulations.
1096
01:37:49,796 --> 01:37:51,796
So you’re sayin'
I can be a Muslim again.
1097
01:37:51,881 --> 01:37:53,464
- Yes.
- I ain't never stopped.
1098
01:37:53,550 --> 01:37:55,508
Just like I ain't never stopped
bein' the champ.
1099
01:37:57,722 --> 01:37:59,388
I begged my father
to reinstate you.
1100
01:37:59,473 --> 01:38:02,266
When? When you do that, Herbert?
1101
01:38:02,352 --> 01:38:04,769
After I promoted this Quary fight
or after I won it?
1102
01:38:05,731 --> 01:38:07,773
- We can get Frazier.
- Man, I done already got Frazier.
1103
01:38:07,856 --> 01:38:10,315
We can get $5 million for Frazier.
1104
01:38:10,401 --> 01:38:13,527
We talkin' management,
talkin' money or talkin' religion?
1105
01:38:13,572 --> 01:38:16,573
When I got leery
and talked up why I'm broke...
1106
01:38:16,658 --> 01:38:18,199
then come the suspension.
1107
01:38:18,285 --> 01:38:21,828
Now you explain that one to me,
my brother.
1108
01:38:21,914 --> 01:38:24,081
That was my father.
1109
01:38:26,626 --> 01:38:28,584
Your father.
1110
01:38:28,629 --> 01:38:32,757
I love your father, Herbert.
I swear, man. I love the Nation.
1111
01:38:32,842 --> 01:38:35,301
But it don't own me.
1112
01:38:44,437 --> 01:38:47,188
You go on out there
and you make that Frazier deal.
1113
01:38:52,445 --> 01:38:54,362
My brother.
Yeah, your brother Herbert.
1114
01:38:54,448 --> 01:38:56,323
Go on somewhere,
make that deal.
1115
01:39:06,919 --> 01:39:10,212
And he accepts me.
I’m Jewish, but yet he's Muslim...
1116
01:39:10,297 --> 01:39:11,755
and we still get along.
1117
01:39:11,841 --> 01:39:15,343
He understands me. He understands me
and he still allows me to hang with him.
1118
01:39:15,429 --> 01:39:18,889
He knows I like pork and white women,
but still allows me to be here with him.
1119
01:39:18,973 --> 01:39:20,931
Now, I can give up pork...
1120
01:39:20,975 --> 01:39:23,768
but them white women,
goddamn it!
1121
01:39:23,854 --> 01:39:25,896
How you deal with it, boy?
1122
01:39:39,787 --> 01:39:43,080
Hello?
Muhammad, it's for you.
1123
01:39:47,545 --> 01:39:49,754
Thank you, Lana.
1124
01:39:49,840 --> 01:39:52,966
- Yeah?
- Muhammad? Howard Cosell.
1125
01:39:53,010 --> 01:39:56,637
- You TKO'd them.
- Hey, what you talkin' about, Howard?
1126
01:39:56,721 --> 01:39:58,721
- With Quary?
- No.
1127
01:39:58,807 --> 01:40:00,724
The Supreme Court ruled today...
1128
01:40:00,809 --> 01:40:04,144
in the case of The United States
vs. Cassius Clay...
1129
01:40:04,188 --> 01:40:07,982
aka Muhammad Ali.
1130
01:40:08,067 --> 01:40:12,028
You won an eight-to-zero
unanimous decision.
1131
01:40:12,072 --> 01:40:14,906
You're free.
1132
01:40:14,990 --> 01:40:16,948
Congratulations.
1133
01:40:33,343 --> 01:40:34,801
I'm free.
1134
01:40:40,726 --> 01:40:42,643
The Supreme Court
just set me free.
1135
01:40:47,526 --> 01:40:49,985
What are you talkin' about?
1136
01:40:51,320 --> 01:40:52,819
Eight-to-oh, unanimous decision.
1137
01:40:52,906 --> 01:40:55,615
The Supreme Court
just overturned my conviction.
1138
01:40:57,410 --> 01:41:00,119
- Yes!
- All right. All right.
1139
01:41:00,205 --> 01:41:01,663
- Did we get 'em, Ali?
- We got 'em, man.
1140
01:41:03,584 --> 01:41:05,709
Hey, man.
1141
01:41:07,087 --> 01:41:10,505
- Did we do it?
- We did it, man.
1142
01:41:10,591 --> 01:41:14,051
They wanna be on your side now because
the truth has shown itself to the power.
1143
01:41:14,137 --> 01:41:16,971
Now the power's comin' to the truth.
That's what it is.
1144
01:41:17,056 --> 01:41:19,473
And the truth tastes good
when there's a belly full of lies.
1145
01:41:19,559 --> 01:41:22,685
- What you talkin' about?
- It don't matter. It don't matter.
1146
01:41:31,488 --> 01:41:34,197
Ladies and gentlemen,
15 rounds of boxing...
1147
01:41:34,282 --> 01:41:38,994
for the undisputed heavyweight
championship of the world.
1148
01:41:39,080 --> 01:41:43,958
In this corner, the contender and former
heavyweight champion of the world...
1149
01:41:44,042 --> 01:41:48,211
weighing in at 213 pounds...
1150
01:41:48,298 --> 01:41:52,134
with a record of 31 and 0
with 25 knockouts...
1151
01:41:52,218 --> 01:41:54,885
Muhammad Ali!
1152
01:42:00,309 --> 01:42:05,021
His opponent,
weighing in at 2051/2 pounds...
1153
01:42:05,107 --> 01:42:09,235
with a record of 26 and 0
with 23 knockouts...
1154
01:42:09,319 --> 01:42:12,862
the current heavyweight
champion of the world...
1155
01:42:12,949 --> 01:42:17,202
Smokin? Joe Frazier!
1156
01:42:19,246 --> 01:42:22,664
I want a good, clean fight.
Protect yourself at all times.
1157
01:42:22,750 --> 01:42:25,960
Gentlemen, touch gloves.
Good luck to both of you.
1158
01:43:04,795 --> 01:43:05,961
Come on!
1159
01:43:06,046 --> 01:43:08,046
Stick him! Come on!
1160
01:43:50,676 --> 01:43:52,759
That's okay, champ.
Don't stop fightin'.
1161
01:43:54,848 --> 01:43:56,139
What's comin'?
1162
01:43:56,224 --> 01:43:59,559
Lean back, man.
Move back. Work, legs.
1163
01:44:12,116 --> 01:44:13,323
Ain't nobody hurt.
1164
01:44:13,409 --> 01:44:15,868
That's all right.
Ain't no--
1165
01:44:33,805 --> 01:44:35,179
Keep puttin' out.
Come on.
1166
01:44:46,986 --> 01:44:49,779
- Move, Ali!
- Back, back, back!
1167
01:45:23,107 --> 01:45:25,024
Muhammad, you said
you were gonna win the fight.
1168
01:45:25,109 --> 01:45:27,109
How do you account
for the beating you've taken?
1169
01:45:27,194 --> 01:45:29,903
- Did he hurt you?
-Joe said you don't wanna fight again.
1170
01:45:29,989 --> 01:45:32,531
Oh, how wrong he is.
1171
01:45:32,618 --> 01:45:34,159
- Why would it be different?
- Muhammad, wait!
1172
01:45:39,249 --> 01:45:42,542
- But I wanna ask him something!
- We all wanna ask him something.
1173
01:45:42,628 --> 01:45:45,212
- Sons of bitches! Get outta here!
- When are you gonna get a hairpiece?
1174
01:45:45,297 --> 01:45:47,297
Don't worry about it.
You lost all of yours.
1175
01:45:47,383 --> 01:45:49,341
You cue ball head motherfucker.
Get outta here!
1176
01:45:49,385 --> 01:45:51,760
-Just one more question.
- Let me talk to him.
1177
01:45:51,846 --> 01:45:54,096
We're close to the start
of round one.
1178
01:45:54,181 --> 01:45:56,014
Now that Smokin? Joe
done run outta tomato cans...
1179
01:45:56,100 --> 01:45:59,685
I got Yank to commit to a rematch
with you in about six months.
1180
01:45:59,729 --> 01:46:01,938
Frazier said he'd be happy
with three mil.
1181
01:46:02,022 --> 01:46:06,442
I'll fly to Jamaica, get Yank to sign
right after Joe beats this big stiff.
1182
01:46:07,905 --> 01:46:10,447
I think he hurt Joe Frazier.
1183
01:46:10,533 --> 01:46:13,200
I think Joe is hurt.
1184
01:46:13,242 --> 01:46:16,827
Down goes Frazier!
Down goes Frazier!
1185
01:46:16,914 --> 01:46:18,705
- Down goes Frazier!
- Get up, Joe.
1186
01:46:18,749 --> 01:46:22,334
The heavy weight champion is
taking the mandatory eightcount...
1187
01:46:22,419 --> 01:46:25,378
and Foreman
Is poised as can be.
1188
01:46:27,300 --> 01:46:29,759
Foreman is all over Frazier.
1189
01:46:29,843 --> 01:46:32,177
And Frazier is down again!
1190
01:46:32,263 --> 01:46:34,805
He maybe--
No, he's rising.
1191
01:46:36,726 --> 01:46:38,058
It's over! It is over!
1192
01:46:38,102 --> 01:46:41,437
It'd be easy to get a fight
with Frazier now.
1193
01:46:41,523 --> 01:46:45,776
Only thing he's champion of
is gettin' knocked down.
1194
01:46:45,862 --> 01:46:49,823
George Foreman is
the heavyweight champion of the world.
1195
01:46:51,617 --> 01:46:55,578
The Rumble in the Jungle.
That is the name that I've given it.
1196
01:46:55,663 --> 01:47:00,208
Muhammad Ali and George Foreman
in Kinshasa, Zaire.
1197
01:47:00,293 --> 01:47:02,293
- Don, Zaire?
- Yeah, Don.
1198
01:47:02,379 --> 01:47:04,754
I mean, why not Antarctica,
somethin' like that?
1199
01:47:04,838 --> 01:47:06,921
What's wrong with New York City?
1200
01:47:08,801 --> 01:47:10,843
Because you miss the significance.
1201
01:47:10,929 --> 01:47:15,140
See, I dream of overcoming
400 years of racial depression...
1202
01:47:15,225 --> 01:47:19,436
to the dawn of a new day of liberation,
financial and otherwise.
1203
01:47:19,522 --> 01:47:22,648
It will raise up the spirits
of our inner cities.
1204
01:47:22,732 --> 01:47:25,233
It will rise up and fill with hope,
the souls...
1205
01:47:25,318 --> 01:47:27,902
the unrequited needs
of the black proletariat.
1206
01:47:27,988 --> 01:47:30,822
That is, the discouraged, dispirited,
denigrated denizens...
1207
01:47:30,909 --> 01:47:33,910
of the demimonde
that is called the ghetto.
1208
01:47:33,995 --> 01:47:36,788
Man, Don, you crazy.
1209
01:47:36,831 --> 01:47:40,792
You must've studied the whole
"D" section of the dictionary.
1210
01:48:05,403 --> 01:48:07,320
Good morning, sister.
1211
01:48:09,782 --> 01:48:11,448
Hi, brother.
1212
01:48:13,453 --> 01:48:15,328
How you doin', champ?
1213
01:48:42,526 --> 01:48:44,609
Why they saying that?
What they sayin'?
1214
01:48:48,949 --> 01:48:51,032
What that mean?
I don't understand.
1215
01:48:51,118 --> 01:48:52,659
- It means--
- What?
1216
01:48:52,743 --> 01:48:56,161
It mean, "Ali, kill him.
Ali, kill him."
1217
01:49:42,756 --> 01:49:45,507
The champ is here!
1218
01:49:45,593 --> 01:49:49,387
Ladies and gentlemen, the heavyweight
champion of the world has arrived!
1219
01:49:50,972 --> 01:49:53,014
The champ is here!
1220
01:49:58,480 --> 01:50:00,230
Hey, man.
1221
01:50:00,316 --> 01:50:02,441
He's quite younger than you.
How you feeling about that?
1222
01:50:02,527 --> 01:50:05,194
He's quite younger than me?
Well, we quite younger than you.
1223
01:50:05,278 --> 01:50:09,739
What you talkin' about? Thirty-two
years old. Best shape of my life.
1224
01:51:07,177 --> 01:51:09,803
Hey, stop!
All right, back up.
1225
01:51:16,603 --> 01:51:19,854
Did you see Muhammad Ali?
1226
01:55:40,048 --> 01:55:43,591
- Here's your water.
- Oh, thank you, hon.
1227
01:55:43,678 --> 01:55:47,096
Bottled water.
Frozen steaks.
1228
01:55:47,180 --> 01:55:49,806
Brought all that stuffin
like Africa's ain't got no steaks.
1229
01:55:49,892 --> 01:55:53,811
- You could pick up parasites.
- Mobutu eats it.
1230
01:55:53,854 --> 01:55:56,438
Mobutu's takin' care of Mobutu.
1231
01:55:56,524 --> 01:55:59,150
He steals all the wealth
and sends it to Switzerland.
1232
01:56:00,529 --> 01:56:02,904
What that got to do
with any of why we here?
1233
01:56:02,988 --> 01:56:08,367
We are here 'cause Don King
got Mobutu to put up $10 million.
1234
01:56:08,453 --> 01:56:12,247
Don King don't care about Africa.
He's worse than Herbert.
1235
01:56:12,957 --> 01:56:15,332
Here come Herbert.
1236
01:56:15,419 --> 01:56:18,128
And Don King fit right in too.
1237
01:56:18,214 --> 01:56:20,506
Now he's a dashiki-wearin' rip-off.
1238
01:56:20,590 --> 01:56:22,590
Don King delivered the first-ever...
1239
01:56:22,676 --> 01:56:24,926
black-promoted
championship fight in Africa.
1240
01:56:25,012 --> 01:56:28,931
Don King talks black,
lives white and thinks green.
1241
01:56:29,017 --> 01:56:31,351
And you're defending him
and Brother Herbert?
1242
01:56:31,394 --> 01:56:34,353
'Cause clean-cut Muslims in a parade
on the South Side of Chicago...
1243
01:56:34,397 --> 01:56:37,482
ain't gonna get this done!
1244
01:56:38,358 --> 01:56:41,234
I got to put honkies with connections
and bad-ass niggas to it.
1245
01:56:41,320 --> 01:56:43,237
And now they matched you up
against George Foreman.
1246
01:56:43,323 --> 01:56:46,282
Do you think they give a damn
if you get killed?
1247
01:56:52,625 --> 01:56:54,667
So that's what you think?
1248
01:57:03,928 --> 01:57:06,929
I just wanna know why
my Muslim husband...
1249
01:57:07,014 --> 01:57:10,057
is allowing himself
to get strung up on a cross.
1250
01:57:10,143 --> 01:57:12,143
Just tell me why.
1251
01:57:20,487 --> 01:57:22,153
Mayum's sick.
1252
01:57:27,578 --> 01:57:30,496
Maybe I ought to go back
to Chicago and look after her?
1253
01:57:33,417 --> 01:57:34,875
Sure.
1254
01:57:41,676 --> 01:57:44,302
Well, then I guess
I'll be back before the fight.
1255
01:57:45,847 --> 01:57:48,222
If that’s all right, my husband.
1256
01:58:14,336 --> 01:58:16,294
This fight is no contest!
1257
01:58:16,380 --> 01:58:18,338
He is entirely too slow to fight me.
1258
01:58:18,423 --> 01:58:20,924
I say that George Foreman
is a mummy.
1259
01:58:21,009 --> 01:58:23,885
He's too slow.
You know I name all my fighters.
1260
01:58:23,971 --> 01:58:26,138
I'm gonna call George Foreman
"The Mummy."
1261
01:58:26,180 --> 01:58:28,430
He fight like a mummy.
1262
01:58:32,271 --> 01:58:35,105
And when I see George throwin' punches,
this is what I hear:
1263
01:58:35,190 --> 01:58:37,565
Here come the left.
1264
01:58:37,652 --> 01:58:39,902
Here come the right.
1265
01:58:39,988 --> 01:58:42,655
But the mummy can't hit
what the mummy can't see...
1266
01:58:42,741 --> 01:58:44,616
'cause I'm too fast for him.
1267
01:58:46,202 --> 01:58:48,995
I'm too fast.
1268
01:58:49,080 --> 01:58:53,041
I'm too fast. I'm too fast.
I move too good for him.
1269
01:58:53,126 --> 01:58:56,127
I'll hit George Foreman so many times,
he'll think he's surrounded.
1270
01:58:57,381 --> 01:59:00,799
He gonna say, "Call the police!
It's five of 'em in here!"
1271
01:59:02,469 --> 01:59:04,678
I'm bad, man. I'm bad!
1272
01:59:04,721 --> 01:59:08,598
Muhammad, I'm sorry.
I have to ask.
1273
01:59:09,269 --> 01:59:11,311
Are you really
fast enough anymore...
1274
01:59:11,395 --> 01:59:13,645
to beat George Foreman?
1275
01:59:13,690 --> 01:59:18,527
If he gets you against the ropes,
he can knock you out with either hand.
1276
01:59:18,571 --> 01:59:23,199
Many people believe you’re not the man
you used to be ten years ago.
1277
01:59:26,245 --> 01:59:27,953
See, now, Howard...
1278
01:59:28,039 --> 01:59:31,374
I didn't even want to talk
about this, man.
1279
01:59:32,877 --> 01:59:36,671
Especially not out here
in front of all these people.
1280
01:59:36,715 --> 01:59:39,382
But I talked to your wife...
1281
01:59:39,466 --> 01:59:43,719
and she said you not the man
you used to be two years ago!
1282
02:00:06,203 --> 02:00:08,161
Champ.
1283
02:00:12,252 --> 02:00:15,170
- Champ, George had an accident.
- He-- He had what?
1284
02:00:15,254 --> 02:00:18,047
- What are you talking about?
- He got cut right above his right eye.
1285
02:00:18,132 --> 02:00:20,633
His sparring partner's elbow
split it open.
1286
02:00:20,719 --> 02:00:23,220
- Can he fight?
- Not for six weeks.
1287
02:00:25,182 --> 02:00:27,265
This is not a humorous situation,
my champ.
1288
02:00:27,351 --> 02:00:30,978
This postponement could be long,
especially if George leaves.
1289
02:00:31,064 --> 02:00:33,273
You tying to
pull something here, Don?
1290
02:00:33,356 --> 02:00:36,023
If George leaves, he ain't comin' back.
George don't like it here.
1291
02:00:37,111 --> 02:00:40,738
How right you are, my suspicious
and short Italian brother.
1292
02:00:40,781 --> 02:00:43,532
Look here, man,
my fiduciary responsibility...
1293
02:00:43,618 --> 02:00:46,035
to this first all-black promotion...
1294
02:00:46,121 --> 02:00:49,623
is analogous to a garden in the African
sun-- it must grow, it must bloom.
1295
02:00:49,706 --> 02:00:54,126
Cannot flower in the gloom and shade
of postponement to the Astrodome...
1296
02:00:54,170 --> 02:00:56,963
or any dome out of Zaire where it be
deprivileged of light and bled of water.
1297
02:00:57,007 --> 02:01:00,676
'Cause what gonna be bleedin' out of
there is money-- a hemorrhage of cash.
1298
02:01:00,761 --> 02:01:02,678
I'm talkin' about blood on the floor.
1299
02:01:02,763 --> 02:01:06,265
Double hotel costs, airplane,
travel costs, food and beverage.
1300
02:01:06,351 --> 02:01:10,228
- So what do you want us to do?
- Muhammad Ali. The people's champion.
1301
02:01:10,312 --> 02:01:11,561
My black brother.
1302
02:01:11,647 --> 02:01:14,440
I need you.
I need your strength.
1303
02:01:14,525 --> 02:01:17,776
I need you to find a way
to get George to stay.
1304
02:01:17,820 --> 02:01:20,237
Be Moses in reverse.
1305
02:01:20,323 --> 02:01:24,409
Do not let my people go.
Keep them the fuck right here in Egypt.
1306
02:01:24,495 --> 02:01:26,745
- If you’ll pardon my Swahili.
- Lingala.
1307
02:01:26,829 --> 02:01:29,121
- Say what?
- They speak Lingala.
1308
02:01:30,208 --> 02:01:33,585
Ali wants his title,
and he wants it in Zaire.
1309
02:01:37,550 --> 02:01:40,259
Okay, all right, okay.
Let's take it back.
1310
02:01:40,345 --> 02:01:43,513
George go, George go.
Hell, I can get you Joe Frazier.
1311
02:01:43,597 --> 02:01:46,682
Ali-Frazier 3.
That's the fight everybody want to see.
1312
02:01:46,767 --> 02:01:50,686
- We don't want Frazier, we want George.
- Hell, I don't control George Foreman.
1313
02:02:33,734 --> 02:02:37,903
There's been an accidental injury
to George Foreman in training.
1314
02:02:37,946 --> 02:02:39,737
The truth is...
1315
02:02:39,823 --> 02:02:41,573
George knocked his self out.
1316
02:02:42,618 --> 02:02:44,076
That's right.
1317
02:02:44,120 --> 02:02:47,205
He did three rounds, realized
he was gonna lose to Muhammad Ali...
1318
02:02:47,248 --> 02:02:48,706
and knocked his self out.
1319
02:02:49,709 --> 02:02:52,460
I predict that when the fight is set,
he might not show.
1320
02:02:52,546 --> 02:02:53,670
Oh, you bad.
1321
02:02:53,755 --> 02:02:56,714
- That's right, I'm a bad man.
- Ain't no doubt about that.
1322
02:02:56,799 --> 02:02:59,091
Yeah, but you tell George
the same thing.
1323
02:02:59,177 --> 02:03:01,094
I heard you.
I been watching you.
1324
02:03:01,179 --> 02:03:05,181
I know he's your man, I know you got
him picked, but the man is in trouble.
1325
02:03:05,267 --> 02:03:08,310
The whole world was gonna know,
but now he ain't gonna show.
1326
02:03:09,105 --> 02:03:12,273
In order to ensure that George is ready,
we are thinking of postponing...
1327
02:03:12,317 --> 02:03:15,276
from September 24 to October 30.
1328
02:03:15,360 --> 02:03:17,318
What about the concert?
1329
02:03:17,404 --> 02:03:21,865
The concert will go on as planned.
Those dates are September 20, 21 --
1330
02:03:21,951 --> 02:03:26,245
I want all the helicopters guarded,
all the private planes, private boats.
1331
02:03:26,289 --> 02:03:28,247
I'm serious.
I want the airports--
1332
02:03:28,292 --> 02:03:30,501
I want President Mobutu
and all his paratroopers--
1333
02:03:30,584 --> 02:03:33,335
All you Zaireans,
y'all be on guard too.
1334
02:03:33,421 --> 02:03:37,048
Any strange boats creeping away,
they might be taking him out.
1335
02:03:37,134 --> 02:03:38,508
Bus stations.
1336
02:03:38,594 --> 02:03:40,093
And bus stations!
1337
02:03:40,136 --> 02:03:42,094
Right.
Watch the bus stations.
1338
02:03:42,139 --> 02:03:45,599
The elephant caravans-- They might be
tying to take him out on an elephant.
1339
02:03:45,685 --> 02:03:48,102
- What'd you say?
- Hell, I ain't talking to you.
1340
02:03:48,146 --> 02:03:49,770
Hey. Hey, man.
1341
02:03:50,856 --> 02:03:53,023
Don’t you never talk
to Angelo like that.
1342
02:03:53,109 --> 02:03:56,778
Don’t you never talk to Angie
like that again.
1343
02:03:56,821 --> 02:03:58,654
Something wrong with you, man?
1344
02:04:00,283 --> 02:04:03,701
Think you callin' some shots here?
You ain't callin' nothin'.
1345
02:04:05,706 --> 02:04:08,081
They all know.
1346
02:04:08,166 --> 02:04:11,125
All them ladies out there,
they know I'm ready.
1347
02:04:11,169 --> 02:04:14,379
I see fear in the eyes
of his followers.
1348
02:04:14,465 --> 02:04:18,092
This was supposed to be the fight
that Muhammad Ali was ended.
1349
02:04:18,177 --> 02:04:22,889
Supposed to be Muhammad was gonna fall.
Supposed to be my destruction.
1350
02:04:22,974 --> 02:04:25,475
Well, they miscalculated.
They misjudged.
1351
02:04:25,559 --> 02:04:27,183
They got it wrong.
1352
02:04:50,211 --> 02:04:51,961
Hold on a second.
1353
02:04:53,214 --> 02:04:54,338
What's your name?
1354
02:04:55,842 --> 02:04:57,008
Veronica Porche.
1355
02:04:57,052 --> 02:04:59,010
Porche. Like the sports car.
1356
02:04:59,054 --> 02:05:02,013
- Yes.
- With just a little something extra.
1357
02:05:02,056 --> 02:05:03,555
Hey, you with Don?
1358
02:05:04,642 --> 02:05:08,436
Don brought me here,
but I'm not with anybody, no.
1359
02:05:08,522 --> 02:05:10,897
- Where you come from?
- LA.
1360
02:05:10,982 --> 02:05:13,316
- LA?
- But my people are from Louisiana.
1361
02:05:13,402 --> 02:05:14,734
Louisiana.
1362
02:05:14,820 --> 02:05:16,778
What, you Creole?
1363
02:05:16,864 --> 02:05:21,909
We're Creole,
so I'm African, French and Spanish.
1364
02:05:21,994 --> 02:05:24,036
My mother's grandfather was Jewish.
1365
02:05:24,747 --> 02:05:28,040
Well, they mixed all that stuff up
in there real nice.
1366
02:05:28,083 --> 02:05:30,959
I'm the only witch doctor here.
Bundini Brown.
1367
02:05:31,045 --> 02:05:33,254
Bundini Brown
is an authentic witch doctor.
1368
02:05:33,340 --> 02:05:36,258
- You tell 'em.
- The only one in the United States.
1369
02:05:37,885 --> 02:05:41,262
I'm real glad
you said what you did.
1370
02:05:41,306 --> 02:05:44,599
You made sure the fight stays here.
1371
02:05:47,771 --> 02:05:50,856
You know all them reporters
and writers in there...
1372
02:05:52,151 --> 02:05:54,610
they say George
is gonna kill me.
1373
02:05:55,695 --> 02:05:57,069
What you think?
1374
02:06:01,119 --> 02:06:03,119
Mr. Ali? Mr. Ali?
1375
02:06:03,204 --> 02:06:05,287
- We want thank you.
- Hey, fella.
1376
02:06:05,373 --> 02:06:07,248
Y'all wanna thank me?
1377
02:06:08,460 --> 02:06:10,627
Y'all gonna thank me?
What I did?
1378
02:06:13,631 --> 02:06:16,132
They thanking me for something.
1379
02:06:16,218 --> 02:06:20,471
Hey, you ever been down to Hong Kong?
Thailand? Taiwan?
1380
02:06:20,556 --> 02:06:23,474
- No.
- No? I can't go there.
1381
02:06:24,143 --> 02:06:27,603
- Hi, Ruthie. How are you?
- Hi, champ.
1382
02:06:30,273 --> 02:06:32,231
What's going on?
I'm great. How you feeling?
1383
02:06:32,317 --> 02:06:34,651
When I go to sleep,
this closes up.
1384
02:06:35,738 --> 02:06:39,156
That's what happens. When I go
to sleep, all this rests together.
1385
02:06:39,242 --> 02:06:41,534
During the day, I got to think.
1386
02:06:41,620 --> 02:06:44,997
Get me out of this county.
All the women so pretty.
1387
02:06:45,082 --> 02:06:50,336
All of em, they got hair come all
the way down to the back of their knees.
1388
02:06:50,420 --> 02:06:54,005
All of em-- All of em
about Veronica's complexion.
1389
02:06:54,091 --> 02:06:56,466
Every single one of em.
Bad, man.
1390
02:06:58,137 --> 02:07:00,387
But ain't nothing like the sisters.
1391
02:07:01,558 --> 02:07:04,351
Ain't nothing like the sisters.
1392
02:07:08,189 --> 02:07:11,482
Come on. Why don't we go
take a ride or something?
1393
02:07:11,526 --> 02:07:13,109
Wanna come with me?
1394
02:07:22,956 --> 02:07:26,499
Ruth, tell us the truth.
Is this your kind of guy?
1395
02:07:27,209 --> 02:07:28,875
More cushion for the pushin'.
1396
02:07:32,173 --> 02:07:33,380
What'd he say?
1397
02:07:34,717 --> 02:07:36,717
So why you so glad
we still here?
1398
02:07:40,474 --> 02:07:43,892
Making the fight stay here
in Africa--
1399
02:07:45,562 --> 02:07:49,231
Anybody can fight in Vegas.
1400
02:07:55,114 --> 02:07:57,573
Well, that's one job.
I got two.
1401
02:07:57,617 --> 02:07:59,575
Got to whup George.
1402
02:08:07,752 --> 02:08:09,877
Islamic faith help you do that?
1403
02:08:11,172 --> 02:08:14,924
Listen, girl, as a Muslim
I am failed in the eyes of God.
1404
02:08:14,968 --> 02:08:19,262
I should've discovered Islam at 50,
'cause I'm weak on women.
1405
02:08:20,515 --> 02:08:22,682
First they take my eyes.
1406
02:08:22,768 --> 02:08:25,227
My heart follow.
1407
02:08:25,271 --> 02:08:27,438
Making me the lovingest husband
in the world...
1408
02:08:27,522 --> 02:08:30,440
and the most terriblest husband
at the same time.
1409
02:08:33,071 --> 02:08:34,779
Look at you.
1410
02:08:34,823 --> 02:08:37,198
Green eyes.
1411
02:08:37,282 --> 02:08:39,073
Cocoa skin.
1412
02:08:40,161 --> 02:08:42,453
Okay, rest of me, let's go.
1413
02:08:50,422 --> 02:08:51,504
Rumble, Ali.
1414
02:09:35,302 --> 02:09:37,636
- Mrs. Ali.
- Hello, Muhammad, Mr. Cosell.
1415
02:09:37,680 --> 02:09:40,514
- Hey, when you get in?
- Today.
1416
02:09:40,600 --> 02:09:44,018
And I learned we now have this suite
at the intercontinental Hotel.
1417
02:09:45,522 --> 02:09:47,897
Muhammad, may I have
a word with you, please?
1418
02:09:47,982 --> 02:09:49,398
Yeah.
1419
02:09:58,327 --> 02:09:59,576
What's goin' on?
1420
02:09:59,661 --> 02:10:02,078
What do you mean,
what's goin' on?
1421
02:10:02,165 --> 02:10:04,624
Do you have to throw it
in my face?
1422
02:10:04,709 --> 02:10:08,294
Do I have to read about it? Do people
have to call me on the phone to tell me?
1423
02:10:08,378 --> 02:10:10,295
I didn't mean for that
to come out.
1424
02:10:10,381 --> 02:10:14,133
And I live with the casual ones.
I live with 'em.
1425
02:10:14,218 --> 02:10:17,052
So why do you
disrespect me like this?
1426
02:10:17,138 --> 02:10:20,765
I respect you.
I will always respect you.
1427
02:10:30,569 --> 02:10:32,193
Do you love her?
1428
02:10:37,744 --> 02:10:39,202
I don't know.
1429
02:10:45,960 --> 02:10:48,544
So what is supposed to happen now?
1430
02:10:50,381 --> 02:10:52,298
I fight George.
1431
02:10:53,885 --> 02:10:56,552
I didn't come all this far to lose.
1432
02:10:59,223 --> 02:11:00,639
Neither did l.
1433
02:11:26,920 --> 02:11:28,336
Belinda.
1434
02:11:32,802 --> 02:11:34,218
What, Bingham?
1435
02:15:09,528 --> 02:15:10,777
There it is.
1436
02:15:24,754 --> 02:15:27,129
Hey, Zack, where's George?
1437
02:15:27,215 --> 02:15:28,673
What's he pulling?
1438
02:15:28,715 --> 02:15:30,590
Where's George?
Where'd he go?
1439
02:15:31,677 --> 02:15:34,928
I just wanna make sure
you're gonna control the evening.
1440
02:15:35,682 --> 02:15:38,600
George is jerking us off,
making us wait.
1441
02:17:16,996 --> 02:17:20,706
It's all over for you, man.
You don't have a chance.
1442
02:17:21,835 --> 02:17:23,835
You don't have no chance.
1443
02:17:23,920 --> 02:17:25,962
The rumble in the jungle!
1444
02:17:26,048 --> 02:17:28,131
You don't have no chance, man.
1445
02:17:28,217 --> 02:17:29,299
Okay, let's go.
1446
02:17:30,053 --> 02:17:32,720
You guys know the rules.
I want a good, clean fight.
1447
02:17:32,804 --> 02:17:35,346
Ali, be quiet
and listen to the instructions.
1448
02:17:35,432 --> 02:17:37,432
You been hearing about me
ever since you was a boy.
1449
02:17:37,518 --> 02:17:39,935
Ali, be quiet.
Listen to the instructions.
1450
02:17:40,021 --> 02:17:42,271
- Now you got to face me.
- No hitting low.
1451
02:17:42,356 --> 02:17:44,773
- When I tell you to break--
- You got to face me now.
1452
02:17:44,859 --> 02:17:46,817
Be quiet,
or I'll disqualify you.
1453
02:17:46,904 --> 02:17:49,863
When I tell you to break,
I want a clean break. Understand?
1454
02:17:49,907 --> 02:17:53,492
- You shoulda never came to Africa.
- All right, shake hands.
1455
02:17:53,576 --> 02:17:55,534
Take your corners.
1456
02:17:55,579 --> 02:17:57,662
Okay. All right.
No problem.
1457
02:18:41,461 --> 02:18:42,919
Break!
1458
02:18:52,598 --> 02:18:54,723
All right, break. Step back.
1459
02:19:26,299 --> 02:19:29,217
Take it to him!
That's what we came to do, Daddy!
1460
02:19:41,106 --> 02:19:43,064
The heavyweight championship fight...
1461
02:19:43,150 --> 02:19:45,776
- That's all you got?
- live via satellite...
1462
02:19:45,820 --> 02:19:47,778
direct from Zaire, Africa.
1463
02:19:50,283 --> 02:19:53,201
- There we go.
- That's it, Daddy.
1464
02:19:53,287 --> 02:19:55,996
You just keep dancing
around him, okay?
1465
02:19:56,831 --> 02:19:58,455
Just keep moving.
1466
02:20:06,174 --> 02:20:08,007
Legs hurting.
1467
02:20:09,095 --> 02:20:10,553
Air heavy...
1468
02:20:10,638 --> 02:20:12,638
like I'm in water.
1469
02:20:33,578 --> 02:20:35,578
Get away from the rope!
1470
02:20:37,166 --> 02:20:40,167
Get off the rope!
Get off there! Move it!
1471
02:20:42,546 --> 02:20:45,255
Get off there! Get off there!
1472
02:20:53,766 --> 02:20:55,683
Get off the rope!
1473
02:20:59,773 --> 02:21:01,022
Get off them ropes!
1474
02:21:01,900 --> 02:21:05,861
Come on now, Ali,
get off the ropes!
1475
02:21:05,905 --> 02:21:07,363
Come on, baby!
1476
02:21:08,448 --> 02:21:10,281
Come on, Ali!
1477
02:21:12,119 --> 02:21:15,078
That's it?
That's all you got? That's it?
1478
02:21:20,795 --> 02:21:23,212
Move him out to the center!
1479
02:21:23,257 --> 02:21:24,881
There he goes!
1480
02:21:26,884 --> 02:21:30,219
Get away from the ropes!
Get off the ropes!
1481
02:22:03,881 --> 02:22:06,465
Been here before.
1482
02:22:06,551 --> 02:22:08,551
Little greenroom.
1483
02:22:08,637 --> 02:22:11,179
Open that door.
Gonna get out this place.
1484
02:22:11,264 --> 02:22:13,848
Come on, man,
get up and get out.
1485
02:22:29,117 --> 02:22:31,951
They said you could punch, George.
1486
02:22:31,995 --> 02:22:34,704
You ain't hittin'.
You hittin' like a sissy, George.
1487
02:22:36,334 --> 02:22:38,584
You can't lay up on the ropes
like that.
1488
02:22:39,627 --> 02:22:44,005
You're letting him beat on you.
You can't do that, champ. Come on, now.
1489
02:22:44,049 --> 02:22:47,801
-You wanna explain that to me?
-Jab, then go to the middle of the ring.
1490
02:22:47,845 --> 02:22:51,222
- You had your fight going, then--
- You gotta dance, baby.
1491
02:22:51,307 --> 02:22:54,684
Shut up! Just be quiet!
You let me take care of this!
1492
02:22:54,728 --> 02:22:57,979
Got to dance.
You can't come out there like that.
1493
02:22:58,022 --> 02:22:59,980
- You can't back up.
- You got to respect the man.
1494
02:23:00,024 --> 02:23:03,943
What is with the ropes? Something
going on you wanna talk to me about?
1495
02:23:04,029 --> 02:23:06,988
Tell me what's going on with you.
What are you doing?
1496
02:23:07,074 --> 02:23:10,868
Put the jab on him.
You got to let him go and dance.
1497
02:23:10,912 --> 02:23:14,455
Don't let him get in your corner.
He's tying to cut the ring off you.
1498
02:23:14,539 --> 02:23:18,375
He's tying to cut you off the ring.
You can't let that happen.
1499
02:23:19,545 --> 02:23:21,795
Just take care of it!
1500
02:23:24,508 --> 02:23:27,718
And there's the bell.
The fighters meet in mid-ring.
1501
02:23:37,731 --> 02:23:39,230
Get off the ropes!
1502
02:23:39,274 --> 02:23:41,149
Stay off the ropes!
1503
02:23:42,861 --> 02:23:46,196
Foreman again
pushing him against the ropes.
1504
02:23:46,240 --> 02:23:50,701
And Ali laying back, fighting those
blows against the sides of his body.
1505
02:23:50,744 --> 02:23:53,370
Get back in the middle
of the ring, Ali!
1506
02:23:54,415 --> 02:23:56,707
Muhammad, get off the ropes!
1507
02:24:28,784 --> 02:24:32,411
You're punching like a sissy, George.
Punching like a sissy.
1508
02:24:44,592 --> 02:24:46,759
What the hell's going on?
Come on.
1509
02:24:58,817 --> 02:25:02,444
George, get him back.
What the hell's going on? Come on.
1510
02:25:14,541 --> 02:25:17,292
You got to get off the ropes!
1511
02:25:17,336 --> 02:25:18,919
Get off the ropes!
1512
02:25:19,003 --> 02:25:21,921
Eight rounds to go.
Running out of gas, big fella?
1513
02:25:23,091 --> 02:25:24,507
Let him go.
1514
02:25:37,481 --> 02:25:41,400
Can't let you get that second wind which
you don't even know is there for you.
1515
02:25:41,486 --> 02:25:44,654
You want the title?
Want to wear the heavyweight crown?
1516
02:25:44,698 --> 02:25:47,866
Nose broke, jaw smashed,
face busted in.
1517
02:25:47,951 --> 02:25:49,868
You ready for that?
Is that you?
1518
02:25:49,954 --> 02:25:53,372
'Cause you facing a man who will die
before he lets you win.
1519
02:26:05,720 --> 02:26:08,638
Ali, don't let him beat on you
on the inside.
1520
02:26:09,766 --> 02:26:11,724
Don't let him beat on you
on the inside.
1521
02:26:20,402 --> 02:26:21,734
Come on, Ali.
1522
02:26:23,739 --> 02:26:25,948
Let's go, Ali.
1523
02:26:26,033 --> 02:26:29,243
Let's go, baby!
Stay off the ropes!
1524
02:26:29,287 --> 02:26:30,619
Get off the ropes!
1525
02:26:30,704 --> 02:26:32,996
There it is.
Keep 'em in his face.
1526
02:26:34,625 --> 02:26:35,624
Break!
1527
02:26:35,710 --> 02:26:37,835
Oh, you missed him, George!
1528
02:26:37,921 --> 02:26:40,046
You gotta go to work on him, Ali!
1529
02:26:48,597 --> 02:26:51,556
I thought you could punch, George.
They said you could punch.
1530
02:26:51,601 --> 02:26:53,059
Come on, Ali!
1531
02:26:54,271 --> 02:26:57,022
Get away from the rope!
Get off the rope!
1532
02:26:57,108 --> 02:26:58,524
He got him!
1533
02:27:05,033 --> 02:27:06,950
Move him around! Take him!
1534
02:27:08,160 --> 02:27:09,618
Come on, Ali!
1535
02:27:16,669 --> 02:27:19,879
Get off the ropes!
Get off the ropes!
1536
02:27:21,050 --> 02:27:22,424
Get off the ropes!
1537
02:28:07,515 --> 02:28:10,474
George Foreman is hit
by a combination of punches...
1538
02:28:10,518 --> 02:28:12,017
and down he goes!
1539
02:28:12,061 --> 02:28:13,811
George Foreman is down!
1540
02:28:13,855 --> 02:28:16,940
He's fallen
like a tree in the forest!
1541
02:28:17,026 --> 02:28:20,361
He is felled by a combination of blows
from Muhammad Ali!
1542
02:28:38,505 --> 02:28:41,715
Okay, this fight's over!
This fight's over!
1543
02:28:54,105 --> 02:28:56,689
I told you! I told you!
1544
02:29:06,619 --> 02:29:10,162
Referee Zack Clayton is counting.
Seven, eight!
1545
02:29:10,248 --> 02:29:12,206
And he's on his knee.
It is over!
1546
02:29:12,290 --> 02:29:14,332
It is over! It is over!
1547
02:29:14,418 --> 02:29:15,876
It is over!
1548
02:29:15,920 --> 02:29:19,964
George Foreman has been knocked out
by Muhammad Ali!
1549
02:29:20,050 --> 02:29:22,551
Muhammad Ali
has done the impossible!
1550
02:29:22,594 --> 02:29:25,011
He has regained
the heavyweight crown...
1551
02:29:25,097 --> 02:29:29,558
that was taken unjustly
from him in 1967.
1552
02:29:32,437 --> 02:29:35,063
What a moment of history
in this arena...
1553
02:29:35,149 --> 02:29:37,608
in Zaire, Africa!
1554
02:29:47,580 --> 02:29:50,081
A tremendous, tremendous moment.
