Tex Rickard tor $200,000 for Carpentier. "I am onder the impression," said Descamps, "that the match would be fought in America for the sole reason that I do not believe Demp sey will agree to fight in our coun try. Carpentier would prefer to fight in France, for a much smaller purse not oniy on account of the climate, but through friendship for the organizers and because of the benefit that would accrue to France."
