Thrilla in Manila
In the world of pro sports, classic rivalries are woven into the fabric of the game. In
basketball, there's the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers; in baseball, the New York
Yankees and Boston Red Sox; in football, the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys.
In boxing, there's Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali, whose epic three-bout series from
1971 to 1975 transcended the sport. THRILLA IN MANILA tells the previously unknown
story of their final fight in the searing heat of the Philippines through the eyes of the "other
man" in the ring - Frazier. Premieres Saturday, April 11 at 8pm (ET). Read more.
