Hugh D McIntosh, pictured, was a notorious Aussie womaniser who tried to seduce Rudolph Valentino's lesbian wife with a ring taken from the tomb of Tutankhamen. And he was the first great promoter of international boxing.

This trash deserves a prize for trash level writing.

This incompetent idiot thinks the Terry McGovern-Pedlar Palmer fight was not an international fight?

Jim Croffeth promoted many international fights on the West Coast before Johnson ever fought Burns.

What about Peter Jackson's fights in England?

How many international fights in Paris before this?

Hell, wasnt McIntosh the same dumbass who refereed Burns-Johnson and didn't know wtf he was doing?

Uncle Tom McCarey of Los Angeles was another great
boxing promoter.

Know he wasn't the first "international" promoter, but, this particular event made him and his family and fture generations considered the greatest promoters of all time...

Jess McMahon promoted Jess Willard-Jack Johnson in Cuba, was the fight that ended the reign of Johnson and the "White Hope" era...soon after the success of the fight, McMahon switched gears and promoted wrestling matches, and his son was Vincent McMahon (CWA, later WWWF, later WWF) and his son Vincent Kennedy McMahon (WWE)...well you get the idea.
