The post jogged my memory about how thoroughly the top fights were covered by newspapers of the day...great writers like Jack London were dispatched to cover the events. Here are a couple of examples...the "Great White Hope" fight of 1910 and the 1926 Dempsey-Tunney bout. It's particularly interesting to read of the violent protests that followed attempts to screen the films of the Johnson fight throughout the country during the weeks that followed.
