The Jeffries-Johnson fight July is
scheduled as a Aground contest, but
no one believes IL can last so long.
The betting favors fight of from 10
TO 90 rounds as outside propositions,
with from IL to IL rounds more likely
Suppose, fer the sake OF argument,
we say that the fight goes IL rounds
That's IS minutes OF actual fighting,
with IL minutes OF rest, II minutes in
all.
. Leaving out OF consideration the
value OF the moving pictures for a mo-
ment, and confining speculation to the
purse. il is hard TO locate any more
valuable minutes anywhere in history.
Should the fight go TO the end OF Il
rounds before a knockout ends IL, the
winner will get for his end 81 .61l.5 a
minute. for every minute after the
ringing OF the gong. He would receive
s2.104.3 for every minute OF actual
fighting.
The loser would get s537.3 for his
share for every minute after the gong
rang, or a trife over SOL a minute for
every minute OF actual fighting.
Now as 10 the picture end.
There Is a possibility. II the fight Is
fast and interesting. and goes long
enough, that the picture receipts alone
Will be" worth anywhere from $500 900
up TO each OF the fighters.
r Suppose the pictures do bring each
man e5ee. 900 This will mean that
for SO minutes actual fighting the win
nsr-- will eventually accumulate per
minute the nice little sum OF s15.992
and the loser will grab of about
s14,5S9 per minute.
OF course. the fight may go l.
rounds, and on the other hand either
man might win within a round. or il
mfSht possibly 20 A. rounds. This lat
ter is by no means probable. Jeffries
has declared he will win with a punch
If he can do So In this event. the
big fellow might increase his fortune
at the rate OF about a quarter OF a
million minute, giving him a minute
to feel out Johnson. another minute 20
