May Sign Scott and Sharkey for Chicago Stadium
Chicago promoter Paddy Harmon aims to sign British heavyweight Scott and Jack Sharkey for a December bout at Chicago Stadium. He believes a $300,000 gate is possible at 29,000 seats and would seek a $100,000 guarantee or 50 percent of net, with split decided by the fighters. Sharkey’s Madison Square Garden deal could block the match if he signs there.
