That George Foreman grill...
...often discussed on here.
I've just seen the article about Muhammed Ali selling the rights to his name and image http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4901662.stm . But look at the final lines:
"Fellow former heavyweight George Foreman - who was defeated by Ali during the 1974 Rumble In The Jungle bout in what was then Zaire - has also sold the rights to his name.
Most notably he was paid $146.5m in 1999 by kitchen appliance maker Salton to put his name to a fat reducing grill. "
HOW MUCH?
"It's a lean, mean, milking machine"

I love that ****. I have the Carl Lewis grill, signed (printed anyway) by the man himself. What is it with former athletes that they have to get a grill under their name? Mind you it was cheap in a closing down sale, so I'm guessing Mr Lewis did not get much out of it....
