Richest Fight Gate Is Assured in Chicago
The heavyweight title bout at Comiskey Park features champion Floatterson versus Sonny Liston in a $5 million spectacle. Major revenue streams include $4 million from closed circuit TV and substantial radio and movie rights. Patterson, 27, could earn a record purse around $1.7 million as crowds of about 35,000 expected, with forecast cool weather and a 7-5 Liston favorite. Liston, 33-1, seeks revenge amid a tainted public image, while Patterson relies on speed and heart to counter the opponent’s power.
