MUHAMMAD ALI ROACH MOTEL VS GEORGE FOREMAN GRILL - WHOSE BUSINESS MANAGER WAS BETTER?

Why would the GREATEST HEAVYWEIGHT BOXER in history put his picture on a roach motel?

George Foreman made a fortune, by doing a few commercials for the Foreman grill. Putting your name on a grill is a tiny bit more prestigious than a ROACH MOTEL. In my humble opinion, Ali should have hired Foreman's business manager away. Also, in my humble opinion, a freshman in business college could of done a better job of lining up potential endorsements
 
Below is a magazine ad with Ali promoting the D-Con roach motel.
