Fight Must Draw $63, 500 Before
He Receives One Penny; Di-

Havana, April 2.-Jess Willard,
matched to fight Jack Johnson for the
worlds championship on Monday.
April ., is taking the biggest chance
ever taken by a fighter to win back
for his racesa tit.e which for the first
time in pugilism has been held by a
regro. The battle must draw $685.
before Willard starts receiving a
dime. His contract is on the basis Of
a percentage Of the profits after all
other expenses, including the cost OF
taking the motion pictures is paid.
Here is the way the fight now figures
from a financial standpoint:
EXPENSES Of signing men and Will
lard's training expenses during the
.Juarez incident, $4,000; Johnson's
guaranty, 100000; Johnson's expens-
sts, $4,000; advertising in Havana
newspapers, $4,000; Autographs, bill
ing and printing, $4,000; press work,
$4,000; cost of taking pictures, $4,000;
rentals, salaries and i~ncidentals,
$1,000; total, $63,500.
After the $63,50O mark is reached in
the gate receipts, Willard gets his
percentage. The promoters are tax.
ing the same chances. 1t will cost an
other $4,000 properly to exploit the
motion pictures, in which johnson has
q fifty percent interest. Johnson's IN
terests, however, are in the profits
and he pays no part Of the prelimln'
airy expenses.
7 Because of the fact that the fight
is being held in q strange country the
gamble is ever greater than Tex
