  • Red Sox Owner made March, 1920 Offer For Dempsey/Wills

    - -$350K likely the biggest purse in boxing history by a long shot.

    However, if you read about the hugely successful theatre producer with gobs of $ to spend on pet projects, you get a better idea just how much legal turmoil the 1920s were roiling in.

    Doubt it's any better today. In the end , Harry Frazee mainly known for selling Babe Ruth to the Yanks to finance No, No, Nannette featuring his GF...only in boxing folks!
