Tax problem could delay Patterson Johansson third title bout
Floyd Patterson and Ingemar Johansson may not stage a third fight within 90 days due to heavy taxes on potential million dollar purses. The rematch drew 31,928 paying fans and $824,891 at the Polo Grounds, with TelePrompTer predicting about $3,000,000 in extras. Patterson aims for a quick return. Johansson likewise hopes for another bout, while promoters push for a fast third fight amid tax concerns.
