THE

SPORTSDESK BY PETER GOBIS

Now that we know who the "onliest" champion of boxing is, and Joe Frazier and Muhammed Ali left from the ring $2,500,000 richer before the Internal Revenue Service got their share, the promoters of the fight also received huge profits from the closed circuit TV spectacular. The returns from the box-office draw give evidence that the fight must surpass the 20-30 million dollar net profit that backers Jerry Perenchio and Chartwell had previously expected.

In the United States, the New England states, the West Coast, Texas and New York drew the big crowds and the big business at the box- office. There were jammed theaters, auditoriums, and even restaurants, all 350 sites in the U.S., that presented the fight via closed circuit. Friar forechecking by Rich Pumple proved a big key in the playoffs. The light was beamed across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Soviet Union and the Orient via satellite, and had a total estimated audience of 300,000,000. Friar Icemen Lose to Cornel
