Watch out George Foreman! Evander Holyfield releases Real Deal Grill.

engadget.com — Truth really is stranger than fiction: not only has one former heavyweight champion managed to make a lucrative post-boxing career hawking electric cooking appliances, but now yet another former champ is throwing his proverbial apron into the ring with the release of Evander Holyfield's Real Deal Grill.

  • wattznext, on 10/10/2007, -6/+28I hate when people say things like "throwing his proverbial apron."
    Tell me the proverb about the apron. Go ahead...
    I think you mean "throwing his metaphorical apron." Sheesh!
    Grrrrrrr
  • jacvad28, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21thanks but no thanks, im going to stick with the hulk hogan ultimate grill...http://www.hulkhogangrill.com/
  • drafhk, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19I would be wary of Mike Tyson's... it might grow teeth and bite you or sleep with your wife.
  • McTendo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14"Tell me the proverb about the apron. Go ahead... "

    An excuse is nearer to a woman than her apron.

  • j.carcinogen, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10I never got a Foreman grill, but I do see how it can be practical indoors and I like the way grease runs off (or whatever). This grill however just looks like a gimmick.
  • ThinkBox, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Watch out for the lead paint on the grill
  • xerus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8***** Hulk Hogan. Give me the Randy Savage Bonesaw McGraw Grill of Pain
  • wattznext, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Nice. You owned me AND degraded women at the same time. I bow to you sir.
  • IllBeBack, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Watch QVC tonight at 3am to be able to buy more worthless crap like this grill.
  • xJudahx, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Hulk Hogan was originally offered the foreman grill, but declined. Good move Hulk!
  • melonhedd, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6It is not easy to clean.
  • dattaway, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Its a very good gril if you want to cook hamburgers FAST. Since the heat comes from both sides when you flip it shut, it will brown the middle of a fat juicy patty in a few minutes. A home grilled hamburger makes McDonald's offerings seem like vending machine junk. Its easy to clean, so you can have a quickie meal without all the mess. The only problem is that it barely fits four patties at once. If you have a family or a party, you need the extra grill space. Maybe Holyfield has a bigger hand than Foreman.
  • jayfarer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4So this is what boxers do when they retire.
  • MattZed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I wonder if it can protect from foot/bacon related injuries.
  • wild, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Only I digg can you get away with saying "Foreman drains the meat"
  • futureb, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3if it does for grills what Mike Tyson's Punch Out did for video games, I would buy it.
  • kelowna4life, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3The foreman grill is actually pretty sweet. unless this thing is has a feature that can compete with a lean mean fat reducing grilling machine i say boycott it!!
  • Asianwaste, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3I doubt this can make a grill cheese sandwich as good as a Foreman grill can make one.
  • picsectionpleez, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5+1 for you sir
  • kelpdip, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Damn, I was trying to save up for the Lennox Lewis dishwasher.
  • hartley, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3You're about 12 years too late, Evander.
  • Matteos, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2To bad Oscar De La Hoya didn't create a grill of his own. Maybe then he would have had something better to do then to pose in fish-net stockings.
  • xjeffx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Good luck Holyfield. You'll have to pry my George Foreman grill from my cold dead hands!
  • Matteos, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2No thanks I'll wait for the Walker Texas Griller. It can cook anything with one grill tied behind it's back.
  • chinolofus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1float like a butterflied pork chop ,sting like a beef kabob.
  • Christbait, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"I'm so proud of it, I put my ear on it! Mmm!"
  • mradules, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It's not just boxers anymore. Now Hulk Hogan has thrown his bandana into the ring:
    http://www.hulkhogangrill.com/

    I swear, it looks like he vomits a little when he bites into that burger.
  • chinolofus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1tivo'd
  • testastretta, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2What an eary coincidence.
  • McTendo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2A boys best friend is his mother and there's no spancel stronger than her apron string.
  • Hooger158, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2So is this because grilling and boxing are inextricably linked in a civilized society? Or is it that grills can only be advertised with the word "knockout" and you are, therefore, compelled to find a professional spokesboxer to name it after?
  • Terr01, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Or Muhammad Ali.

    Fly like a propane burner, sting like hot charcoal!
  • Weather, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I wonder if it will be shaped like an earlobe with the bottom bitten off. Take a bite out of fat.
  • GorfTron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I think he IS a dishwasher, at this time.
  • brjndr, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Right after you use and unplug it, while it's still hot (be careful), wipe it with a couple of wet wadded up paper towels. Everything wipes right off.
  • GorfTron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It's the Grilla in Manilla
  • insomniac8400, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3Doesn't appear to have anything on the foreman. The big thing with the foreman is that it drains the meat.
  • blitzer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1besides the Parkinson's...
  • benska, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1For sure the next woot off item that will take waaay too long to sell out
  • j.carcinogen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Thats Ali and Frazier.
  • Tippis, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Given the levels of kitchen gadget geekery I've seen from some of the wives in my circle of friends, I wouldn't be surprised if that has already happened >_<
  • raynar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Two aprons walked by a river.
    One turned left, the other got wet.

    The end.
  • SiNN4R, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I leave it on and use a little water on it. The majority of the grease comes right off. Its the grease tray I don't like the thing is disgusting if you ever not bother to clean it right away.
  • NeoNevermore, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Actual results may vary
  • gmarsch, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Not sure how or why boxers became the authority on grills, but if Butterbean ever endorses one, I'll be buying that. The man clearly knows how to eat
  • nodealgrill, on 11/18/2007, -0/+0Imagine Real Deal grill is a fake ! Imagine that this Grill has been invented by someone, and the Holyfield, and the manufacturer, do just ignore the Intelectual property of the inventor. Inventor, even warned Holyfield's wife, who did not react. Inventor refused to let manufacturer ship the Grill, because Licence is void and quality is poor and dangerous to users. Despite this , they are selling the Grill --> its A REAL FAKE GRILL instead !
  • nodealgrill, on 11/18/2007, -0/+0Yes you are right, this grill is a FAKE !
  • nodealgrill, on 11/18/2007, -0/+0I cant even cook an ommelette, so badly are the heating elements. Do not buy this FAKE GRILL !
  • ninjasteeve, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Does it have a setting for grilled ear?
