VAN GRAAFEILAND, Circuit Judge:
Muhammad Ali and Earnie Shavers, two well-known pugilists, are scheduled to fight for the heavyweight championship of the world on September 29, 1977. A preliminary bout between the would-be promoters of this event is presently taking place. Madison Square Garden Boxing, Inc. (MSG) and Top Rank, Inc., each of whom claims to have an exclusive promotional contract with Shavers, are now in the sixth round of an imbroglio which bids fair to outdo the main event. For those who missed the earlier rounds, a brief review of what has transpired to date will be helpful.
