Until Dempsey returns to activity
and prepares actually and honestly
to knock the block off Harry Wills,
boxing as big money pastime Will
be nix. And maybe it will continue
to be SO, even If Dempsey does bestir
himself and starts in to prove that
he is a real champion. But 10 get
back TO Harry Greb, the middleweight
king advises the writer that there IS
no business so hazardous as boxing,
physically and financially hazardous.
Worth What It VIII Bring.
Anything IS worth what il will
bring so far as money is concerned, =
according to Greb's view of the case.
If you take a guy who is a bank
president, and his job depended upon
some test that was coming up 10
him, you can bet he would charge
something for agreeing to make the
test. He would. because If he lost
his job, because of being copped in
the tryout, he would have something
III return anyway.
My Job is that of middleweight
champion, and it is worth money
Take the job of an -middleweight
champion, and how much is it worth ?
Not much. He is a hasbeen, and the
fans don't want to see him.
Every time l fight in my class or
meet man below it I'm gambling on
my job, and any man is a fool who
places the odds against himself. They
say boxing is a sport. Well. SO it is
but 1t Is business too; at least it is
living and what is the difference be
tween the two?
I've shown I'm not afraid to take
"a chance, but l ought to be paid q
reasonable price for it,
