Probably the Jack Johnson vrs Jess Willard film print that Jess Willard tracked down
to a film collector in Sydney Australia in 1959 ( after almost 2 years of searching)
But Jim Jacobs and Bill Clayton got wind of it, got to the collector first before Willard ( who was a notorius 'cheap-skate)
Willard then sued Jacobs and Cayton for One Million Dollars)
