He was extremely good looking and had a chiseled body too just the way you like it.

LOL Yeah, yeah, you think your funny...

Hey, wasn't John L Sullivan the first to make a $Million?

Or was that the first sportsman to make $1Mil in total?
Sullivan earned a million wow. Did not know that in all seriousness. Gene got the cheque in the Dempsey fight I think.
Yeah he did, I suspect Sullivan was the first person to earn a million dollars from his whole career though. That would have been a fortune in the late 1800's!

Gene earned a $Million for one fight vs Dempsey!!!

I wonder what that would be adjusted for inflation. Approximately 90 years. Unreal!
