 wondering how much this occurred , did the boxers tour around , seems like a good fit for the recently retired champs to make some bucks back when it wasnt the money there is now in the 50's & 60's, any of the 70's guys do it , Ali, Foreman, Norton

a few notable below from my area

 Joe Louis did it a TON in the Carolinas. Even did a few shots working with one glove on vs the heel of note.

 

Dempsey drew good crowds here earlier also.

 

Dempsey, Walcott, Archie Moore, all did it but Louis seemed to be the most frequent in the Carolinas.

 

In the early 80s Earnie Shavers did some guest ref tours for JCP

 I would like to add "Two-Ton" Tony Galento to the list that NC James provided for Jim Crockett Promotions.I saw Joe Louis numerous times in Winston-Salem and Greensboro in the sixties and seventies.Only got to see Archie Moore and Ernie Shavers once each in Greensboro.
