Jeffries Offered $106000 To Fight Johnson In Oshkosh Plan
Oshkosh Wis March 14 Champion Jim Jeffries would be offered a $106000 bonus to accept a Johnson bout. Thomas Ryan a local sporting man aims to start a fund with $100 and raise up to $10000 from the sporting union to lure a match with Jack Johnson. He estimates a club purse of at least $25000 plus the 10000 could net Jeffries about 10000 for one battle. Johnson is regarded as the best heavyweight outside the champion and Jeffries would prove himself world champion beyond doubt.
