Gold in Thar Window and Tex Rickard’s Early Showmanship
A reminiscence on Tex Rickard promoting early prize fights. The three million dollar Dempsey Tunney bout generation carries less interest for Rickard than his first venture, the Gans Nelson bout of 1906 for a 30 thousand dollar purse. Rickard displayed a $20 gold coin purse in the Sullivan Trust Co window to draw crowds, while nearby saloons promised danger with guards and glass-cutters. Jockey Frank Farney, newly arrived from Australia, recalls Rickard’s gold pile fueling public intrigue as much as the fighters’ fame.
