#JOHN SHEARER J SERIES MANUAL PROFESSIONAL#

While at LOOK, Shearer covered civil rights marches in the south as well as race riots. LOOK hired Shearer at 17, one of the youngest staff photographers ever hired by a major publication. Shearer was a staff photographer for LOOK magazine from 1966-1969. I had a whole portfolio, about 15 images, and Gordon looked at them very quickly and then he literally tore them all up but one. Shearer was inspired and molded himself after Parks. Also, like Parks, Shearer has also been a writer, author of the вЂњBilly Jo JiveвЂќ childrenвЂ™s book series, a director, lecturer, and professor. Gordon Parks is a pioneer in African-American photography and first black staff photographer at LIFE magazine, John Shearer was the second. Color is used in the graph to contrast data.

Muhammad AliвЂ™s career earnings per fight before the вЂњFight of the CenturyвЂќ Had Frazier and Ali taken the $1.5 million and the percentage, they each wouldвЂ™ve grossed over $6 million (Otierzo).

After they signed the contracts, Ali stood up and said to Frazier, вЂњHey Joe, they got us cheap.вЂќ The fight ended up grossing over $30 million. Little did they know how big the fight would be. Both fightersВ were actually offered $1.5 million and a percentage of the total gate, but both took the guarantee instead. ThatвЂ™s really the story of that first, unforgettable fight between those two great champions.вЂќДЇrazier celebrates his title bout victory over Ali.ДЄli and Frazier were guaranteed to earn $2.5 million for the fight, a record for a single prizefight at the time. You know, you keep whacking at the base of the tree, and the tree is going to come down. вЂњHe went after AliвЂ™s body the whole fight, pounding away, taking terrible blows to the head himself. вЂњFrazier didnвЂ™t fight by going for the head, the way a lot of other boxers did against Ali,вЂќ Shearer recalls. Frazier won by unanimous decision, and held on to the crown until losing it in spectacular fashion to George Foreman two years later, in 1973. Ali was able to get back to his feet quickly, but the damage had been done. Frazier, relentless and punishing stalked and pummeled Ali all night and in the final round floored him with a massive left hook. Unfortunately for Ali and his fans, thatвЂ™s not the way it worked out. They all came to see him win, to see him destroy Joe Frazier.вЂќ And, I remember, without a doubt it was a very, very pro-Ali crowd. вЂњIt was the night of the great showdown between the eraвЂ™s two gladiators, and there was a sense that the unprecedented hype for the fight might actually fall short of the reality. вЂњIt was electric in the Garden the night of the fight,вЂќ Shearer recalls. You know, you want to fight, you want to hold that title belt again, but you canвЂ™t make yourself run those extra few miles at five in the morning, or spar for twenty more minutes every single day.вЂќ

вЂњI wonder if, deep down, he hit a point in Miami where he looked for that fire, that drive, and it just wasnвЂ™t there. вЂњThat fight was the last timeВ Ali took Joe for granted,вЂќ Shearer said. вЂњWhen I see the pictures I made of Joe running by himself, for example,вЂќ Shearer recalled, вЂњthe one thing that strikes me, maybe even more now than when I was making the photos, is his discipline. Frazier training for his heavyweight title bout against Ali, 1971.
