The day of the fight he bought his wife a powder-blue see through negligee and told her; Baby wear this tonight cause you'll be sleeping with the champion of the world.' That night after the bloody fight which he lost in the 15th round his wife humorously busted his balls, 'Do I get to go to the champs room now?!"

Ali later said “"There's not another human being in the world that can go 15 rounds like that."

A young Sylvester Stallone watching the fight from home was inspired by the dramatic ending and the incredible effort of the 15-1 underdog that he started a script that very night to a movie he later named; Rocky.

He earned $100,000 for the fight and returned to his full time job as a liquor route salesman. Now that’s a guy I wouldn’t mind having a drink with.
