In this unbelievable photo from history, a crowd of nearly 10,000 people gathered in the streets to hear get updates. During the boxing match between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier, many men gathered outside the headquarters for the New York Times building. Patiently waiting to see who won the fight, these men couldn’t wait til the paper reached their door.
