    2 things stuck out
    It said Madison square garden BOWL - never heard it called that before

    Also it said it was a "MILK FUND" fight. What does that mean?

    In the Cinderella Man movie the set design was pretty close to the original setting when Baer lost to Braddock.

    Ray is correct. The Madison Square Garden Bowl was in Queens.

    The Hearst Milk Fund was a very big thing and I believe that it was by promoting the boxing benefit for it that in effect helped set Mike Jacobs on his way to becoming the biggest boxing promoter of the 1930s and 40s.
