I used to do biz with Reggie Jackson, he is big in America but not international. I dont think any American BB player can move the needle compared to Ali, Schumacker(SP?) or Valentino Rossi MotoGP as these guys have international audiences.

I read once that in 1971 Ali was the most recognizable face in the world, in the jungle of Vietnam to Zimbabwe he was more recognizable than the Pope, president, or anyone. I dont know the basis of that survey just something I read. I was very young and remember his fame. I never spoke to him, saw him at the fights a couple times about 10 years ago.

Its a tough question to answer, perhaps who is #2 is more clear ;-))
