        I always thought that was at least partly a schtick to build up interest in the match, kinda like boxers do

        Riggs was serious. He was a douche. He did a lot to try to divide the sexes. For real.

        I think that was the same night Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's career home run record.

        Total publicity stunt. Riggs was an old man. Any fit young female tennis pro would have beat him.

        Really? Then why did the #1 female player in Europe at the time (Margaret Court) lose to Riggs? I was there. It was no set-up.

        Riggs may have thrown the match to pay gambling debts

        I remember that... I was 10 years old. Even at 10 I knew he was a jackass 😜(but it sold tickets). Helped the sport and BJK w/her agenda.
