Hawk's Nest: Sharkey Paid $206K After Defeat by Dempsey
The Hawk's Nest notes Jack Sharkey earned $206,803 for 18 minutes and 45 seconds of fighting, about $10,900 per minute, after his defeat by Dempsey. A Fort Benning boxing show saw Bill Gorman floor Young Sweeney 33 times in 10 rounds, with Gorman himself knocked down seven times. Valley league officials questioned Moline's absence from a Cedar Rapids meeting due to road troubles near Lowden, Iowa, delaying Town roads, P. R. Ingelsoll, Plow president, and Emil Coleman, treasurer, en route to the gathering. Ingerson says Moline would have sided with five clubs seeking punishment for Dubuque.
