Rickard to Clear Big Profit From Willard Moran Bout
Milwaukee February reports say Tex Rickard will pay Jess Willard and Frank Moran about 67 500 for a ten round New York bout on March 17. Moran is slated for 20 000 while Willard receives 40 000. Madison Square Garden rental 7 500 and state tax 7 500 are projected, with total expenses around 13 000 to 10 000. If sold out the event could net 20 000 to 25 000 for Rickard, but many doubt the venture’s value and boxing’s future drawing power.
