made yesterday. Ragnar Ben
son Of Chicago had guaranteed
me 100000"
The move by Zeckendorf and
other industrial leaders appar-
entely means that solid backing
will be given to the Mayors
movement to get a second ma
jor league baseball team in
New York to make UP for the
shift Of the Dodgers and Giants
to California.
Guarantee Assured
Zeckendorf's guarantee OF
$500. 900 gross receipts seems a
cinch to cost him nothing.
RoSensohn said he expected
to gross at least 81 million at
Yankee Stadium. He also fig
ures to clear a minimum OF
$500. 900 from either home tele-
vision or theater televiSion. He
said he already has reservations
for 1900 seats from fans in
Sweden.
Meanwhile. in Goteborg, Swe-
den, JohanSson said he was
quite satisfied with the deci-
sion" when informed that New
York was chosen by RosenSohn
for his bout with Patterson.
Johansson added:
Il am willing to box every
when, even If Bill had staged
this match in Greenland. For
me the main point is that
Floyd and / are in the same
ring"
Johansson's adviser, Edwin
Ahlquist. had made a careful
examination about the best
place for his man from the
climatic point Of view. This ex-
animation favored New York.
THE target date for the
fight is June 23," RoSensohn
q 38-year-old New Yorker
said. MY inclination right now
is for home television. but
theater televiSion is a possibili-
ty. New York will be blacked
out in either case"
Met With TV Officials
He said he already had met
with executives of the three
m a jor television networks,
ABC, CHS and NBC. and
planned to meet with them
again.
1--WE offered 100000 for the
fight before and I'm sure we're
prepared to renew the offer"
Ton Gallery, NBC sports di-
rector, said.
Rosensohn said he had
reached an agreement with the
Yankees for the use of the
Stadium June 1880. The
Yanks are away from June %
to July 3. He wouldn't disclose
the financial details. but, it
was learned the Yanks would
collect 10 per cent of the gate
receipts.
The promoter figures to
clear a substantial amount for
himself. Under the terms of
the contract announced Janu-
airy 20, Patterson has been
guaranteed $500, 900 against 40
per cent Of all receipts.
Johansson, Sweden'S unde-
feated heavyweight champion.
has been guaranteed 100000
against 20 per cent of all re-
ceiptS.
New York hasn't had a
heavyweight title fight since
Patterson stopped Hurricane
