Two unused and nearly pristine ducats from the Manassa Mauler’s key fights against Jess Willard (July 4, 1919) and Georges Carpentier (July 2, 1921). $10 bleacher seat from Dempsey’s first crack at the heavyweight crown -- when he destroyed the huge and seemingly unbeatable Willard in Toledo, Ohio, knocking him down 7 times in round 1, breaking his nose and crushing his ribs before Jess gave up after round 3 - lists both men’s purses: $100,000 for Willard, $27,500 for Dempsey. 2.75 x 6.75” ticket has 2 sections and a striking yellow interior with red & black lettering. Second is a $5.50 ticket from Dempsey’s 3rd title defense against Carpentier in Jersey City which marked boxing’s first $ 1 million gate, stoked by promoters contrasting Dempsey’s alleged draft-dodging in WWI with Carpentier heroic service in the French Army. Dempsey KO’d him anyway, in 4 rounds, in front of 80,183 fans. 2.5 x 6.25” ticket has 3 sections and a light beige interior with red & black lettering. Both NRMT.
