Tex Rickard (Part II) - a podcast by BTR Boxing Podcast

It was January 2nd, 1870, when one of the earliest, if not first, of the legendary boxing promoters was born, in Kansas City, Missouri, with the name George Lewis Rickard. Tex Rickard could be described as the first managerial figure to truly recognise the potential of sports as a commercial spectacle.
In this second part to the Tex Rickard career profile, we continue to present the story of how the continued success in boxing promotions would lead the creation of new venues including a new Madison Square Garden and the presentation of some historic fights grossing money beyond the wildest dreams of anyone in the 1920s.Subscribe
