What boxers have been used in commercials?

[Replies: 11]
It might sound like a strange question, but we see athletes featured in all kinds of commercials, from watches, to sneakers, to energy drinks and so on. I'm having a hard time recalling any boxers doing something similar. I could be wrong but did Marvin Hagler ever do one of those deoderant commercials years and years ago?

Ah ha, figured he must have "back then", I sort of vaguely remember such an animal.

Roach spray, huh? They couldn't find anything better for him to advertise than roach spray?

> Ali did a commercial for roach spray in the 70's.

I wonder what Freddie Roach thinks about this? ?:|

Ali never did a commercial? I'm not sure if that should surprise me or not, but it kind of does.

Huh.

What about the ring side girls??
Since 1990's I remember HBO used to minimize the screen to show the corner and fighter while the beautiful models reminded us of what round it was. How many of you guys like to be reminded again?
