Why was the crowd so big?

[The Pretender]

Golota's hometown and also happens to be one of the largest communities of polish-americans in the country.

I remember back in the old days like joe louis and robinson era

The chicago stadium was the biggest boxing place

Chicago was like Las Vegas then

It would be great to bring fights there again....

It's great to bring it all over the country

(especially Sacramento)

Trinidad-Mayorga did sell out didnt it?
It was a Trinidad return..

Gotta love the days when you could walk up and see Robinson and even Ali in there respective primes for a few dollars. Casinos ruined boxing, King is still true to the roots though.
