IT'S great TO be crazy.
There's Billy Mccartney. general
director Of Luther ycCarty. Inc,
asking $4,000 to night tommy Burns
twenty rounds In Paris next June
William doesn't think much Of Luther
=" q drawing card. Or perhaps he
doesn't want to have Luther hsht
Tommy. Or perhaps he thinks M'sieu
klegin. who used TO run the Hippo
drome in Paris and invite a bunch OF
Kings and presidents to see the scraps,
Joking. Or perhaps he thinks M'sieu
klesin hasn't the coin to put Up.
Whatever II is. a demand for $4,000
to pay Luther 500 a minute-iooks "a
good deal like a Joke Mccartney says
no wouldn't demand that II Burns
hadn't demanded II when he fought
Johnson. Presumably he means this
as a rebuke to Burns
Bn: things were slightly different in
that match. Tommy Burns was world,
