Wills, through his manager, Paddy Mullins, attempted to stop the Firpo-Dempsey fight with injunction proceedings on the grounds that he had a prior right to meet the champion. Dempsey had asserted his intention of meeting Wills shortly. Now he will never meet him. Not until some promoter waves $400,000 or more in his vicinity.
