Johansson Is 8-5 Favorite
To Retain Heavyweight Title
New York - (UPB - American
Floyd Patterson will try to
recapture the world heavy
weight championship from
Sweden's unbeaten Ingemar
Johansson at the Polo grounds
Monday night in an inter
national 15-round fight that
may draw a gate of $900,000.
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

were asking from $190 up for
$100 tickets in the first five
rows ringside. And they want
ed $60 for preferred $50
tickets.
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.
