RPO GETS PREl'lY BIT I-‘Oii _
BEING PUT To SLEEP BY JACK
Well Over $200,000 — Demp-
sey-Carpentier Scrap Drew Vast Sum of
$1,600,000 — Dempsey Luckiest o f A l 1
Champions in Salting Away Bank-account
To what extent heavyweight cham-
pionship bouts have grown in publlc
estimation may be gained fr is
simple compmison of the sale for the
llempscy-l-‘Irpo scrap and that of the
gross receipts of the Willard-John-
son title bout at Iluvann ln.1915.
That titular affair drew a paltry
“8.000. a. sum less than what l-‘irpo
will receive for the tap on the jaw
that sent him to sleep in the recon-l
round. .
That sum would hardly pay for
tho aduince expenses of last. night's
match. Dempsey and l-‘lrpo 'played'
before a house that was estimated
at 81.200.000 at the lowest. The ad-
vance sale was over tho one million
mark and the final rush for seats
brought the receipts at least. to $200.
000 above those figures.
The vast sum f 81.600.000 was
taken in at the Dempsey-Carpenticr
scrap. Such a sum was never drum-
ed of before, Promoter Tex Rickard.
whoso vision of huge attendances is
remarkable. figured on Just such a
rrturn and was thus able to guaran-
teo the fighters a sum of 8500.000
for their end.
International bouts. of course. al-
ways are more likely to draw better
than national ones. In the present
case the picturesque Firpo was an
undoubted drawing card. DespIte
his unpopularity when a national tit-
ular scrap is Involved, in an inter-
national quarrel. Dempsey stands out
as a prime favorite.
' The American sport loving public
always is willing to pay for Its fun
watching Senor Firpo take one on
the chin.
Luckiest of All Champions.
- Dempsey has been the luckiest of
all heavyweight champions. Finan-
cially he leads all champions In ew-ry
class In figuring In bouts that. attract.
almost unbelievable sums to the gnu.
Dempsey's first championship battle.
the one in which he dethroned “'il-
lard at. Toledo drew 8482.000. That
set a. record which was not. eclipsed
until Dempsey met the gorgeous
Georges in Jersey City.
The psychology of fight crowds ls
worth studying. One might think
that huge crowds and the consequent.
h'uge purses would' be attracted be-
cause of the popularity of the tight-
ors. yet the record gates have been
drawn’ for just the opponite reasons.
The general public did not like WI}-
lard. looking upon him as a. big.
good-natured man who did not. like
to tight and would rather not tight.
The public wanted a man for cham-
THEM DAYS Is GONE FOREVER .Overpowz'lhio-0n’Yom-.Oboe
piun who would fight often. 3 man
who had the fighting instinct at
least. '
So that when \l’lllard‘and Demp-
scy were signed the public became
greatly Interqtcd. and despite the
fact that the bout was staged at
Toledo. a. plane where accommoda-
tlona were certain to be at a ‘min-
Imum and where Eastern and “fest-
ern fight. fans would.flnd_lt hard to
reach. enough csme’ to the battle to
put up nearly half a. million dollars.
The majority of this crowd wanted
Dempsey to win. but about half of
the fans figured he couldn't. Yet
they were on the job In the hope
that he would flatten “'illard. They
were repaid for their interest when
Dempsey knocked Willard out In
three rounds.
The Johnson-Jeffrles battle at Re-
no in 1910. a light that was the talk
of two continents. drew a. record
house of 8270.000 and of this sum
Jafi'rios pulled down a total of 8111.-
066. The boxers of that period war!
greatly awed by this huge purse.
Many a young fellow undoubtedly
started out then 4! there to be.
come a. pugiilst. via ‘oning the great
money to be made at the game of

Immune Growth of Recent Date.
Only during the past five years or
so. however. have purses grown to
Immense proportions. for it In only
within the past live years or soiliat
promoters have been able to count
upon half million dollar and million
dollar gates.
In 1910. when Dempsey whipped
Willard, a. precedent was set that
made many n promoter nee‘ red
thereafter. Since that data boxers
have asked for huge guarantees and
percentages and boxing promOters
nowadays have to ilgura pretty close
in order to' meet the demands of
the fighters.
Even the most 0 timIstio fans
werb dubious when romater Rick-
ard offered Dempsey 8800.000 to
tight Carpenuer and backed this up
with an offer of 8200.000 to the
