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.
