Costly purses cloud boxing spirit of old time bouts
The piece contrasts modern boxing incomes with legendary bare knuckle fights like Paddy Ryan versus Joe Goss at Colliey Station in 1880. It notes Ryan earned under $250 for a world title win while today’s champions seek far larger purses, and it recalls Dempsey, Sayers, Sullivan, and Oldring as examples of era-based earnings and enduring baseball lore. It also mentions long baseball games and records, from minor leagues to major league feats, linking sporting pride to enduring patience and spectacle.
