Ali vs Frazier Ticket Stubs: The Fight of the Century

The Greatest Rivalry in Boxing

Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier fought three times between 1971 and 1975, producing a trilogy that defined an era of boxing. Each fight escalated in intensity, culminating in the "Thrilla in Manila" — widely considered the greatest fight in boxing history. Ticket stubs from all three Ali-Frazier fights are among the most valuable items in boxing memorabilia.

The "Fight of the Century" (March 8, 1971, at Madison Square Garden) stubs are the most valuable of the three, as the first meeting between two undefeated heavyweight champions generated unprecedented hype. Frazier won by unanimous decision in a fight that lived up to every ounce of its billing. Authenticated stubs from this fight can command $500-$3,000+ depending on condition.

The rematch (January 28, 1974, also at MSG) and the Thrilla in Manila (October 1, 1975) each produce stubs with strong values. As a complete set, stubs from all three fights would be an extraordinary collection worth significantly more than the sum of individual values.
