Description
1923 Jack Dempsey vs. Tom Gibbons Ticket Stub One of the greatest disasters in the history of fight promotion is recalled with this historic ticket stub, a grim reminder of a fight that essentially bankrupted the small town of Shelby, Montana. The fear the fight would not take place kept the vast majority of spectators from boarding trains to Shelby, and the fight saw only 7,000 tickets in the massive new arena sold and 13,000 spectators crashing the gates for free. Local banks that had fronted the money for the huge purses for the fighters went under, and the great Golden Age pugilist and eventual victor Jack Dempsey barely escaped the town with his life. This stub exhibits mild wear but displays well despite toning and a few surface nicks.Auction Info
