OVER THE DECADES THE HOUSE HAS BEEN NEGLECTED. NO ONE'S ALLOWED IN.
BUT INSTEAD OF SEEING A DILAPIDATED STRUCTURE ... GEORGE BOCHETTO SAW A CHANCE TO OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY.
SOUNDBITE (English) George Bochetto, co-owner of the Ali house:
"We want to get it back to its condition in the 50s as accurately and authentically as we can."
BOCHETTO IS THE FORMER BOXING COMMISSIONER IN PENNSYLVANIA. THE LIFELONG FAN REMEMBERS ALI'S CHARM AND HUMOR.
SOUNDBITE (English) George Bochetto, co-owner of the Ali house:
"... the young kids just flocking toward him, he just had that magnetism that made it all happen."
(clip of Ali in Africa from AP archives)
IT'S HERE WHERE ALI LEARNED HOW TO DELIVER THOSE FAMOUS PUNCH LINES.
(Ali archive video)
SOUNDBITE (English) Rahman Ali, brother of Muhammad Ali:
"My father was very funny and very comical, dad was a very funny man."
ALI IS IN POOR HEALTH AND MAKES FEW PUBLIC APPEARANCES.
BOCHETTO IS DRAWING ON RAHMAN ALI'S MEMORIES TO RESTORE THE HOUSE, AND OPEN IT TO THE PUBLIC LATER THIS YEAR.
