Ali spokesman 'disgusted' by sale of free memorial service tickets

Muhammad Ali wanted his memorial service to be for everyone. It appears that won't be the case.

Hours after 15,000 free tickets to Friday's service were handed out in slightly over an hour, they began hitting the secondary market.

"I'm personally disgusted and amazed that someone would try to profit off Muhammad Ali's memorial service," Ali family spokesman Bob Gunnell said, according to the Associated Press.

Gunnell added, "I hope that those buying tickets or trying to buy tickets would stop those efforts by not purchasing. Muhammad Ali wanted this to be a free event, an event that was open to all."

The service will take place Friday at 2 p.m. ET in Louisville, Ky. and will be streamed outside the KFC Yum! Center for those who weren't able to land a ticket. Former U.S. President Bill Clinton will deliver Ali's eulogy.

Ali died Friday from septic shock after living with Parkinson's disease for more than three decades.
