Battle Of The Sexes
After 55-year-old Bobby Riggs, a former World No. 1, declared that he could beat any female tennis player, he took on Billie Jean King in the "Battle of the Sexes." King prevailed in the winner-take-all-match, earning $100K—and respect for women's tennis— in a 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 victory.
