Show Championship Fight To Be on Big Screen Floyd Patterson's defense of the heavyweight championship against hard-hitting Sonny Lis-, ton at Chicago, September 25, will be seen in Salt Lake at the Utah Theatre via the magic of closed circuit television. The action will be seen direct from the Chicago ring on a larger than life-sized screen beginning at 7:30 p.m., M.S.T., and will afford af-ford many viewers a better view of the bout than can be had from many of the seats in the Chicago Stadium itself. There will be no home television tele-vision of the bout which will mark Patterson's eighth defense of the championship he won originally from Archie Moore in 1950 and regained from Inge-mar Inge-mar Johansson in 1960. Ringside seats at the Chicago Stadium cost $100 but seats at the Utah Theatre are scaled from $6.50 to $5.00. The Utah Theatre announces that tickets are now on sale at the theatre box office or may be ordered by mail. Mail orders are given preference over box office sales, filled immediately, and returned to purchaser. The title bout is promoted by Championship Sports, Inc., and will be televised on closed circuit cir-cuit TV by Graff-Reiner-Smith Enterprises, Inc. The Utah Theatre also announces an-nounces that tickets will be available for other theatres in Salt Lake for this closed circuit telecast after the Utah Theatre is sold out. |
