"The police eventually called a stop to the fight, suspecting Burns had a broken jaw and many believe to end the spectacle of the now former white champ receiving further punishment. Strangely the footage stops too, just as the police enter the ring, perhaps in an attempt to hide the outcome to future audiences."

It was described as a cat playing with a mouse
Johnson had chased burns around the world trying to get the fight. Neither burns nor the boxing world wanted the fight as they didn't want a black man as world champion.
The fuckery inflicted on Johnson would be trending In todays world

Is there a limit to the insurance then?
Surely this is just another case of the same problem?
Will they not pay out?

I've never needed to claim so never had any idea what treatment cost.
Taking out the insurance I just selected 4k pretty much at random
I remember thinking I would never need that much
