Patterson Favored to beat Jackson in Polo Grounds bout
New York heavyweights Floyd Patterson and Tommy Jackson meet at the Polo Grounds in a 15 round title fight. Patterson is a 5-1 favorite to win and defend the crown. Jackson promises a brisk alley brawl if ringside officials were absent. Patterson seeks a technical knockout by round ten as promoter Emil Lence projects a $350,000 gross with radio television rights adding to a possible $250,000 gate. Patterson earns $175,000 plus 40 percent of the gate and TV receipts. Jackson gets 20 percent.
