"This is the grandest event since the establishment of Boise City!"
The local newspapers in Boise City gave the boxing match between Jack Dempsey and George Caponti a very high profile.
But this was not an exaggeration, rather the actual situation. Five hours before the match, Boise City's Mayor Waldo Fegan proactively sought out Donnie.
"Donnie, the audience is too enthusiastic, we can't hold them back, can't hold them back at all!"
Donnie couldn't understand what Fegan was talking about and asked, "What's the situation?"
It was then that Waldo Fegan explained to Donnie that there were simply too many people coming to Boise City to watch the match. With Boise City being a mid-sized city with a population of over 200,000, the locals alone constituted a substantial number of viewers, not to mention those coming from outside. Not only had all 75,000 tickets for the Boyle Sports Stadium sold out, but also there were many people who hadn't been able to get one!
