Dempsey-Firpo had 82,000 people in attendance, I am pretty sure that's the largest attendence for a Heavyweight title fight

The answer might be in that book by Blewett, entitled something like Boxing A-Z. I think I saw that factoid in there somewhere.

I think both the Dempsey/Tunney bouts drew 100,000 plus. The first one over 120,000.
