Gate may miss million in Louis Schmeling bout
The Louis Schmeling heavyweight title clash at Yankee Stadium June 16 faces weak advance sales especially for $5 and $10 seats. Promoter Mike Jacobs notes weather and apathy have hurt the crowd potential, though a $1,250,000 house was planned. About 50,000 of 85,000 tickets sold, with 60,000 to 80,000 expected and each fighter potentially earning around $200,000. Jewish boycott rumors circulate despite denials as Schmeling’s Nazi link stirs concern.
