In much the same manner that closed circuit television presented the Muhammad Ali-Joe Fraser "Thrilla' in Manila" fight. This poster advertises a theatre showing of a film of the Louis and Sharkey fight. An "up and coming" Joe Louis knocked Sharkey down four times before knocking him out in the third round at Yankee Stadium on August 18, 1936.
