According to a 2015 Fortune profile of George Foreman Sr., it was revealed that George Foreman IV, or “Big Wheel” as he’s also known, “is his dad’s publicist and is working on the meat company.” That “meat company” was called George Foreman’s Butcher Shop, a venture the former boxer trialed in 2015, per Forbes. As of this writing, George IV runs Foreman PR & Marketing alongside sister Georgetta Foreman. Per his official bio, George IV has “10+ years of public relations.” Speaking to The Grio in 2010, George Sr.’s third son explained, “Everything we do, it’s not only father and son, but mentor and apprentice. He’s such a great teacher. As he came up through boxing and business he had to do everything himself. In doing so, he teaches me what to do in situations.”
In 2017, The Houston Chronicle reported that George IV had been selected to appear on FOX’s TV show, American Grit, hosted by John Cena. George IV told the publication of his appearance on the reality series, “I want to make sure the world knows, yeah, my dad was the one George Foreman, but let me tell you a little bit about myself — I’m a competitor, and I’m from East Texas.” Despite there being $250,000 at stake, George IV insisted that he had another mission for appearing on TV: “Money comes and goes. What’s inside of you, the performance, is more important.”
