Fight Prices to Tumble In New York Boxing Debate
Fuzzy Woodruff laments New York boxing officials restricting seats to ten dollars, contrasting lofty aims of promoters with the cap. He cites Pampered fighters like Dempsey and Carpentier and recalls Pal Flynn’s retirement letter, noting defeats of local boxers and odd regional notes from Constantinople to the Gulf of Finland.
Watchers See Boxing Lose High Purses For Real Sport
The New York boxing commission curbed inflated purses, ending a years long era of promoters and managers seeking gigantic sums. Fighters and managers may retreat from outsized guarantees, restoring boxing to a healthier, more accessible sport for fans nationwide. The shift could bring boxing back to its roots and ease the burden on families seeking ringside seats.
