(A P) -The Dempsey-Tunney heavy weight championship battle in the great Sesqui-Ceatennial stadium here September 23 will be th seventh and probably, the -biggest title spectacle Tpt Richard has staged. ; j i The New Yerk promoter reach ed the high mark for boxing when he staged the, Dempsey-Carpentier 'Battle of the Century" In the big wooden saucer at Boyle's .Thirty Acres, Jersey City, five years ago. That spectacle drew a cfowd of 90.000 that paid more than $1. -600,000 to ,see the champion's four-round knockout of the color ful Frenchman but Richard ex pects the forthcoming struggle to eclipse these figures. The promoter's expectations are that a crowd of. more than 130, 000 will part with, approximately $2,000,000 for the evening's epter talnment, which would lift the event to an unprecedented level for any sports event- It has bee,n. also Xwenty years to the day that RJfhstrd made his firBt plunge. in pugilistic promo tion, his Initial Venjure being the famous Gans-Nelson lightweight championship event at Goldfield, Ner., on September 3. 1906. Since that day Tex has mounted to a position as the foremost promoter of professional sports in the world, the head of a big corporation whose business in New York an nually runs well into the millions. Richard's first heavyweight fight as the Jeffries-Johnson bout In 1910 at Reno, where it was shifted after being " barred from San Francisco. That fight drew a record "gate" at the time, $270,000. the top price being 50. The only fights for which tickets have been priced as' high sine then were the Dempsey-Willad and Dempsey-Carpentier bouts. In six previous, heavyweight title battles Richard has promoted the gate receipts have aggregated close to $4,000,000. of which $2 800,000 clicked through the turn stiles for the last two spectacles the promoter has staged. The record . receipts for these fijrhts follows; 4 . 4f 4 - i O I I BOSTON, Sept 20.
