Joe Louis didn't even have enough money to cover his funeral. His old adversary and only man to beat him in his prime Max Schmelling paid for it or at least partly paid for it. Quite a turn out really as Schmelling was the man depicted as the personification of evil Nazism and Joe Louis as the good old American way by the US media who of course contributed absolutely fuck all to his funeral costs.
