While the fight took place at Yankee Stadium, it was still promoted by Madison Square Garden, Inc., which employed photographer George Kalinsky. The fight was co-promoted by Top Rank, Inc., a company founded in 1973 by Jabir Herbert Muhammad and attorney Robert Arum that is still operating today. Jabir Herbert Muhammad was the son of Elijah Muhammad, the former leader of the Nation of Islam, and acted as Ali's business manager for many years. Robert Arum's first venture in boxing promotion was with Muhammad Ali and Jabir Hertbert Muhammad, along with NFL star Jim Brown, with a company called Main Bout, Inc.
