Holyfield Jabs Foreman With 'Real Deal Grill'

  • October 2, 2007
George Foreman has some competition. Not in the ring, from which he's formally retired, but in the grilling arena.

Fellow fortysomething pugilist Evander "The Real Deal" Holyfield has inked a deal with Salt Lake City, Utah-based CirTran Corporation to introduce "The Real Deal Grill," an electric countertop cooker.

Holyfield is trumpeting the virtues of the grill with a 30-minute infomercial that bowed last week. The company says the grill launched Sept. 22, with the infomercial airing on spot and regional markets. The grill costs $100.

Holyfield, as anyone knows who follows the sweet science, is vying for his fifth world title in the heavyweight division.
