RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE ($175,000 - $185,000+)

On October 30, 1974, in Kinshasa, Zaire, 60,000 spectators gathered to watch George Foreman (the undefeated world heavyweight champion) and Muhammad Ali (the former champion) square off against one another, in what is widely considered the greatest sporting event of the 20th century.

The historic boxing event, dubbed “The Rumble in the Jungle” had Ali pegged as a 4-1 underdog.

Facing a physically superior competitor, Ali recognized he had little chance of victory trying to trade blows with Foreman. As such, he concocted a plan, and as Round 2 commenced, Ali put the never before seen “Rope-a-Dope” plan into action.

Leaning back on the ropes and covering his head, Ali allowed Foreman to punch at his arms and body.

After weathering a storm of punches, Ali would deliver a flurry of strategic shots – once George had grown tired.

Foreman didn’t realize the amount of energy he was expending while landing largely ineffective strikes.

And, as the 8th round wound down, Ali delivered a flurry of punches to an energy-depleted Foreman – sending the exhausted champion to the canvas!

What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role?

Not much, really.

That said, Sabrina Galli isn’t looking for a prized pugilist! She’s looking for a strategic, senior sales professional to execute a national sales strategy.
