I figured this fight would draw at least one guess, but it happened quite a few years later than that, Jabs.Originally posted by jabsRstiffDempsey & Tunney....#2.
Tunney JUST about hit the million dollar mark for that fight, though, as his purse was reportedly $990,445...Dempsey's was quite a bit less than that, cause he was the challenger (they might've had that 40/20 split even back in them days).Comment

The answer to this question was the Liston/Patterson rematch in 1963, in which both fighters recieved a reported purse of a little over 1.4 million dollars.Originally posted by YogiWho were the first two fighters to earn a purse of at least one million dolars in a fight (one fight...two millionares)?Comment
