Dimpled b y destructive, Johansson is favored at 8-5 to beat speedy Floyd again In this most attractive heavy weight title match in 22 years and keep alive the heavy weight axiom: "They never come back." Young Bill Fugazy, super vising director of Feature Sports, Inc., announced Satur day that the advance ticket sale is "pushing $700,000," and that the demand is so great "our gross gate Monday night may exceed $900,000." Richest In History In addition, Fugazy said the "ancillary" receipts from theater-television, U.S. radio, movie guarantee, pre fight broadcast and foreign radio promises to make the bout a S4.000.000 fight - the richest in history. Ticket scalpers were doing a thriving business on some sections of Broadway. They Doors will open at 5 p.m. prior to the closed circuit television presentation a t the Craterian theatre here on Monday of the Ingemar Johansson Floyd Paiierson heavyweight title boxing bout. The fight will start at 6 p.m. (PST) and is being televised from the Polo Grounds at New York City.

There will be no home tele vision. The U.S. weather bureau re ported Saturday the outlook for the next few days is "fair and warm." Brawny Johansson Is favor ed because of his sensational upset victory over Floyd at Yankee stadium last June 26, when he floored Patterson seven times in the third round for a technical knockout. Betting Odds Tight Nevertheless the betting odds have remained tight and there Is more interest in this rematch than for any fight of any kind since Joe Louis knocked out Max Schmeling of Germany in their second bout, June 22, 1938. Louis dis posed of Max In the first round. Their bout drew $1, 015,012. Louis had been a kayo victim in their first match. Champion and challenger, rested at their camps Satur day, were scheduled to motor inot New York today and spend a night in the city be fore the weigh-In at 11 a.m. SPORTSCASTS Radio station KYJC will broadcast the Ingemar Jo hansson - Floyd Patterson heavyweight title boxing bout at 6 p.m. Monday. (EDT) Monday In the Commo dore hotel ballroom. That will be an interesting weigh-in. Patterson has prom ised to scale at least 188 pounds, six more than he registered for last year's catas trophe: Johansson expects to scale 196, the same as before. Will that extra weight on 23 -year -old Patterson help him or hinder him? That's one of the big questions. He and trainer Dan Florio and advisor Joe Louts insist that the poundage results from his natural growth during the year and that it will give him more punching power. Others say it will make him slow. If Floyd does beat Ingo, he will be the first man in ring history to recapture the heavyweight title. Eight oth ers tried it and failed, but each of them was more than 30 years old.
