NEW' YORK (NfiA) A;lot of people at 'first seemed to believe that, the American Broadcasting Company dealt professional boxing a. death blow when the network announced it had not plans : to continue "weekly shows next' season. 'They prac tically held a wake for prize fighting. People liave been holding wakes for the rowdy old sport; regularly since long before John L. Sullivan's days. ; They've found it a hardy business. With the news that Madison Sauare Garden in New York no longer will be paid $1,225,000 a year to flood the country with 50 weekly shows,v the prophets of doom gnashing their teeth at the wailing wall are in the wrong place. They should be celebrating a revival. If- television drops beakbusting, the public, including its old friends, will pick it up. "It's the, best thing that has happened to boxing since Joe Louis 4 first came around in the middle 1930s," said Jack Dempsey, signing autographs at his Broadway restaurant.

"The source of talent supply was destroyed- - as nearly all small clubs folded. With boxing off the air, ' small clubs with new promoters will bob up throughout the country. Shortly it again should be like it was when I was a kid and Hardy K. Downing promoted and refereed 17,000 fights in Salt Lake. If a fighter didn't fight he was thrown out of the ring. "In" recent years there have not been enough places for kids to fight. New clubs and promoters will develop fighters, create new customers and bring back the old." Nat Fleischer, veteran publisher of Ring Magazine, concurred. m ine early lydus wnen boxing was at its peaK, recalled Fleischer, the game'fc historian, "there were 26 clubs running weekly shows in New York State aloneT There were considerably more than 100 clubs operating regularly in the United States.
