Despite being named "Thrilla in Manila", the bout was not held in the city of Manila, but in Quezon City. However, Quezon City is located in a district called Metro Manila.

The Philippines' first multi-level shopping mall was named "Ali Mall" as a tribute to Ali's victory. The mall is located right beside the Araneta Coliseum where the fight took place.
