Kearns Sees Big Gate For Moore Maxim Omaha Bout
Jack Kearns predicted a substantial gate surpassing 200000 dollars for the Archie Moore Joey Maxim light heavyweight title bout planned for Omaha's Coliseum in early October. He noted Nebraska’s Centennial celebration as a draw and television money around 90000 dollars. Promoter Jim Norris and manager Charlie Johnston discussed terms and contenders as negotiations proceed. Moore would defend for at least 50000 dollars, while Maxim seeks a percentage, with other challengers under consideration. Moore’s recent victory over Harold Johnson boosted his status and earnings.
