Speaking to Fox News, Rasheda said, “Boxers didn't make money, like you know, Tyson's making. And daddy would have been excited he made that kind of money.”

“Daddy would have been mortified,” she continued.

Recalling the time of her father, she stated that boxers “didn't really make that much” at that time.

“They were fighting for their lives, and I think as my dad started to make boxing more entertaining, that's when people came on board and how boxers started to, after my dad, make a lot of money,” she said.

Over the course of his remarkable career, Ali, who briefly resided in Cherry Hill in the early 1970s, earned over $57 million.
