Dempsey's next defending fight was against French WW I hero Georges Carpentier, a fighter popular on both sides of the Atlantic. The bout was promoted by Tex Rickard and George Bernard Shaw, who claimed that Carpentier was "the greatest boxer in the world".
The Dempsey-Carpentier contest took place on July 2, 1921, at Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jersey City, New Jersey. It generated the first million-dollar gate in boxing history; a crowd of 91,000 watched the fight. Though it was deemed "the Fight of the Century", experts anticipated a one-sided win for Dempsey. Radio pioneer RCA arranged for live coverage of the match via KDKA, making the event the first national radio broadcast.
Carpentier wobbled Dempsey with a hard right in the second round. A reporter at ringside, however, counted 25 punches from Dempsey in a single 31-second exchange soon after he was supposedly injured by the right. Carpentier also broke his thumb in that round, which crippled his chances. Dempsey ended up winning the match in the fourth round.

I met Jack Dempsey in 1968 . As a family we had dinner at his restaurant on Broadway . It was a Saturday as I recall , and I was ten years old . It was a slow night in the place , not too many tables seated , and my parents noticed a man sitting at a small table off by himself doing what appeared to be some book keeping with a note pad and an adding machine . After a while , the man walked over to our table as we were enjoying our dinner - which was delicious - and asked if everything was to our liking . He needed no introduction , as my parents recognized who he was even before he strolled over to our table . That was the proprietor and ex heavyweight boxing champion , Jack Dempsey ! And as I remember it , he was a very gracious host , very nice , and a real gentleman . My parents were very impressed by Mr. Jack Dempsey .
As a young big enthusiast of boxing and its history I cannot help but be amazed by this comment. Just seeing someone born in the 19th century live is amazing, plus that person was Jack Dempsey! I would even spend 5 thousand dollars to have seen the scene you describe live. bye
That must be the time when he was writing his book. A legend, truly.
You have a story that should be known by thousands of people. Its amazing that you met one of the best boxers that ever lived.
This conversation looks like it’s between AI
A million dollar gate 102 yrs ago is an insane amount of money
About 17 million today. Which even by today´s standards is amazing.
However, generating 1 million in 1921 must have been a hell of a thing.
No tv and social media....Behemoth achievement
@@Nimvarthat makes it easier not harder
Announcer said 1,789,238. That's like 29 million. Wonder what the fighters made
@@SuperCrazyEstonian is alot more brother if we take into account how much an average person made in those days compare to now. Everytime they say $1 in 1970 was like $4 today that's cap if u take into account the money ppl makes now compare to the 70s $1 is like $15 now
Huge weight difference.
We wouldn't allow that kind of fight today.
But despite the disadvantage, Carpentier did well against Dempsey.
Just saw an “arcade” machine where you put 25 cents in and can watch an old film reel of this knockout. It’s at the Las Vegas Pinball Hall Of Fame
I think 1 million dollar gate back then is about 14-15 million dollar gate now smh. Imagine how big of an event this was. Crazy! With 80,000 plus fans 😮
90 000 he said
Carpentier was a very game fighter. Respect.
i was crazy look at his nose before he got koed. bleed like hell
You could see the technical prowess of Jack Dempsey in this video. Head off of the centre line, rolling with carpentier's right hand as well as timing it to get a underhook and dirty box on the inside. He cut off the ring really well, keeping that pressure on him 👏🏾👏🏾
What a great fight. Two legends! 🥊
Georges Carpentier, qui accepte de Combattre dans une Catégorie Supérieure !
Quel Courage !
Chapeau L'Artiste ! 🇨🇵
Quel Foule ! Pour le Premier Match de l'Histoire Retransmis à la TV.
it's great to watch this fight from over 100 years ago!
awesome
A big weight step up for Carpenteir but a very good performance against Dempsey.
Best fighter to EVER step in the ring
Dempsey doing some proto philly shell/shoulder roll stuft in this one
For example this gate revenue is similar to Fury Vs Wilder 2 , with inflation accounted for.
A million i 1921, wow what a time to be alive
Man I remember this fight like it was yesterday. I was 16 years old! Ah the good ol days!
Tex Richard told Dempsey before the fight Don’t knock him out in the first round, one round knockouts are bad for business. I think he took it easy on him at first
Joe biden watched this figth live
Legend has it Carpentier hit Jack on the jaw - and broke his hand. Georgie was fkd after that.
New York in its prime, regardless of the financial stuff, it must have been great. The city must have been great. Not the s*** that's there now.
Watching at ×.75 speed and amazed how different the fight looks. Amazing defense on display by both men. Dempsey is great at moving with the punches, and Carpentier is still insanely fast, even in slow motion. Carpentier's ability to move and slide around the Ring reminds me of much later fighters.
Remarkably good condition film.amazing how theres no film of Greb.
Viva la France!
Here's a two-piece for you.
Everyone in this video is dead is it bad that’s what come to my mind
Yes. But my grandfather is alive and 110 years old now
A positive thinker.
Although, he lost the fight, I am very impressed with Carpentier.
He didn't just lose
He got stiffed. Starched. Cashiered.
this moving is incomplète ! at one time all people stand up and CARPENTIER done a punition to DEMPSEY . Here this moment is absent !
I deleted it, Phil.
ToughShit. Deal with it.
@@TheBatugan77 thank for your answer. Do you know where to see the complete ?
Just watched
Jack Johnson Unforgivable Blackness documentary on dvd
And man what a champion he was in and out the ring
Jack Johnson lost the World Heavyweight Championship in 1915 to
Jess Willard and Jess Willard lost the world title to Jack Dempsey In 1919
Man how cool would it have been if Jack Johnson had remained champ for 3-4 more years and never loss to Jess Willard
We could have gotten Jack Johnson vs Jack Dempsey
There are rumourse they fought in secrete. But it never happend
Ahah no, Johnson denied fights with mcvea, Langford and many other black fighters because he said “people don’t want to watch two black men fight.”
@@LegendsofBoxinginColor
Did you hear about that newspaper that once was on ebay
The newspaper was from Canada and it talks about the
Rumored Dempsey and Johnson fight
It says that jack johnson dropped dempsey at one point and then
Dempsey came back in the fight and knocked johnson out
But at that time Dempsey was in his prime at 27yrs old
And johnson was in his early 40s
And even in his 40s he still dropped Dempsey which is impressive
Makes you think what if Johnson had fought Dempsey in his elite prime
But yeah I guess in the 60s or 80s
Not sure what year but someone asked Dempsey about that rumored fight and Dempsey stayed quiet for a second and then he said
I always said I would beat johnson and smiled but never
Admitted or denied the fight happening
@@Jesse_Saucedo dont think that hppend. Its just a rumour. Would be strange to make that fight behind closed doors just for some rich guys. Makes no sense who would put up the money. Too many ? You would need better evidence
You would have gotten an old guy that was past it vs a young man in prime
About 17.15million today
Seguramente todos los que están en el evento ya estan muerto 😢
I do very much prefer the French pronunciation, thanks for asking sir.
HBO Boardwalk Empire brought me here
Me too
SAME!!
im the third one in this path..
Not me.
Georges Carpentier etait un enfant
「はじめの一歩」でデンプシーロールって言ってるけどタイソンのピーカブースタイルだよね!···デンプシーは斜め構え···タイソンは上体は相手に向いてるしね
Huge crowd
Imagine those 90k plus people there are now dead..
Bat Masterson, the famous "lawman" and journalist, saw that match.
Didn't Dempsey kill someone in a boxing match? Or the other guy?
No neither did
That was Emile Griffith in the 1960s, he beat Benny Paret to death
Not sure about Dempsey but there were quite many cases. Max Baer killed a guy Campbell, Primo Carnera killed a guy named Schaaf. Death of boxer is not rare, especially in the first half of 20 century.
Heavy weight...
100 years ago boxing didn't look like boxing.
Nothing wrong with a black Ref obviously. Just surprised they had one back in 1921.
neither man is Heavyweight..
Fixed.
No technique or defense just brawling
The first GAY fight? They spent m,ore time HUGGING each other than fighting!
Boxing sucked even more back them.
