Series were teeysed only in theaters suppose
baseball would less willingly that's the word
than boxing fans But World will for week
longer approximately daily would be
plcated to show the conjunction with feature film
Hollywood wouldn't like it. More important movie Gus
toners wouldn't like 1t.
FOR THE vIDEo set with sports the whole
idea televson problems If the big fights are
piped exclusively theate they beginning to wonder
If it isn't likely the Kentucky Derby the indianapolis

few widely regarded worth admission charge
The management of Keths despite experience gained
previously when savod and Louis appeared on the screen s
aback by the turnout for LaMotta Murphy
before time the theaer was packed sandees

before the fire marshal closed the box office
sleeved crowd the Turner's Arena crowd
Only the usher wore coats While feature film

screen mostly performed by who could have been Rim
Tin-Tn for all the patrons cared.
KEITHs GANfELY went along with the inevitable When
merciflly ended the lights turned and Mr.
Jim Carbe the appeared the stage The crowd
hooted
carberry said 10 minutes remained until fight time
that order to create the atmosphere vendors
would peanuts popcorn soft drinks candy and ice

televised fight watched from paror tavern,
thing fight in movie theater is quite another. The

proved Murphy froth punches
Perhaps eevision would have pponted the dripping

Another thing about fight a theater The
crowd, spirit to the actual 1t cheers and
The commentary almost unheard for the noise

Well this stopped the crowd 1t started to head
