Past: John L. Sullivan he was the "event", this dude made Jesse James come out from hiding when he was wanted in 7 states by the law, he traveled 400 miles by horse. It almost cost James his life as he rode from Missouri to Mississippi just to see Sullivan fight. The legendary writer Oscar Wilde travelled accross the sea by boat to come see him fight. Keep in mind this was 1882

Since then we've had a handful.
