Title Bout Next Monday Richest In Ring History
New York UPI reports a Johansson Patterson bout at the Polo Grounds could gross about 3.5 million dollars, combining live gate and theater-TV receipts. Promoter Fugazy cites 30,000 in attendance and 800 thousand live rate, with Teleprompter projecting 600 thousand more theater seats sold. If realized, this would surpass the 1927 Dempsey Tunney gate record of 2.66 million, though doubt remains about a repeat domination by Johansson. Patterson opens as a betting favorite at 6-5 despite last June’s knockout defeat.
