The McGuigan Harrison Athletic Club, also known as McGuigan's Arena or The Casino, was a popular sports and social club in Harrison, NJ in the early 1900s owned by NJ Hall of Fame boxer and promoter Paddy McGuigan. The club was used primarily to host boxing matches, but also hosted dances and other functions. Fight records McGuigan opened his club after the conclusion of his boxing career, which may have gone well into his 50s. Sometimes referred to as Old Paddy McGuigan's "Bucket of Blood," the club was a widely popular venue for at least 18 years, based on dates found in surviving fight records. Fights at the club were regularly followed by the Newark Evening News and the Newark Star-Eagle. |align="center" colspan=9|Surviving Records |- | align="center" style="border-style: none none solid solid; background: #e3e3e3"|Date | align="center" style="border-style: none none solid solid; background: #e3e3e3"|Boxer | align="center" style="border-style: none none solid solid; background: #e3e3e3"|Weight | align="center" style="border-style: none none solid solid; background: #e3e3e3"|Opponent | align="center" style="border-style: none none solid solid; background: #e3e3e3"|Weight | align="center" style="border-style: none none solid solid; background: #e3e3e3"|Result | align="center" style="border-style: none none solid solid; background: #e3e3e3"|Rounds | align="center" style="border-style: none none solid solid; background: #e3e3e3"|Type | align="center" style="border-style: none none solid solid; background: #e3e3e3"|Notes |-align=center |10-13-1910||Dave Kurtz||||Charley Smith||||Win||10||News|| |-align=center |11-17-1910||Dave Kurtz||||Frank Kenny||||Draw||10||News|| |-align=center |01-03-1911||Hank Griffin||||"Dutch" Zimmer||||Win||3||KO|| |-align=center |01-03-1911||Hank Griffin||||Jack McCargo||||Win||5||UNK|| |-align=center |01-03-1911||Hank Griffin||||Bull Anderson||||UNK||UNK||UNK|| |-align=center |01-16-1911||Valentine "Knockout" Brown||||Jack Ritchie||||Win||2||KO|| |-align=center |02-06-1911||Battling Hurley||||Tony Bender||||Win||10||News|| |-align=center |03-11-1911||Angelo "Young Foster" Venizona||||William Kennedy||||UNK||4||UNK|| |-align=center |02-04-1918||Allentown Joe Gans||||Willie Gradwell||||Win||8||News|| |-align=center |02-25-1918||Allentown Joe Gans||||Lew Cardell||||Draw||8||News|| |-align=center |12-09-1918||Jackie Sharkey||||Harold Farese||||Loss||8||News|| |-align=center |12-23-1918||Phil Krug||||Bobby Gleason||||Draw||8||News|| |-align=center |03-19-1919||Jackie Sharkey||||Patsy Johnson||||Win||8||News|| |-align=center |04-14-1919||Ed Kinley||||Battling Levinsky||||Loss||8||News|| |-align=center |05-20-1919||Charley Weinert||||Ed Williams||||Win||2||TKO|| |-align=center |10-27-1919||Phil Krug||||Ed Kinley||||Win||8||News|| |-align=center |12-19-1919||Mickey Walker||139 lbs||Young Thompson||||Win||5||TKO|| |-align=center |05-03-1920||Bobby Gleason||||Allentown Joe Gans||||Win||12||News|| |-align=center |12-06-1921||Allentown Joe Gans||||Panama Joe Gans||||Loss||12||News|| |-align=center |10-09-1922||Spencer Gardner||||Willie Murphy||||Win||12||News|| |-align=center |10-09-1922||Oliver Gardner||||Johnny Dixon||||Loss||6||News|| |-align=center |10-16-1922||Red Chapman||||Jimmy Freda||||Win||12||News|| |-align=center |10-16-1922||Billy Vidabeck||||Willie Applegate||||Win||6||News|| |-align=center |10-23-1922||Red Chapman||||Spencer Gardner||||Win||12||News|| |-align=center |11-14-1922||Spencer Gardner||||Tommy Gerrard||||Win||12||News|| |-align=center |12-07-1922||Red Chapman||||Spencer Gardner||||Win||10||News|| |-align=center |01-25-1923||Willie Herman||138.5 lbs||Marty Mandeville||140 lbs||Win||3||TKO|| |-align=center |01-25-1923||Panama Billy Walker||138 lbs||Bobby Morris||140 lbs||Win||8||News|| |-align=center |01-25-1923||Snowball Moore||148 lbs||Battling Walker||141 lbs||Loss||6||News|| |-align=center |01-25-1923||Joe Barry||116.5 lbs||Eddie West||116.25 lbs||Loss||4||News|| |-align=center |01-25-1923||Clyde Jones||131 lbs||Young Ross||133 lbs||Draw||4||News|| |-align=center |01-25-1923||Charley Murray||127.5 lbs||Kid Callahan||128.15 lbs||Draw||4||News|| |-align=center |02-01-1923||Lew Seltzer||146.5 lbs||Young Banne||143.5 lbs||Win||8||News|| |-align=center |02-01-1923||Johnny Ryan||138 lbs||Joe Bean||135 lbs||Win||4||News|| |-align=center |02-01-1923||Charley Reed||136.5 lbs||Kid Beans||135 lbs||Win||4||News|| |-align=center |02-01-1923||Joe Ross||133.5 lbs||Lew Farrell||132.5 lbs||Win||2||TKO|| |-align=center |02-01-1923||Johnny Dixon||126 lbs||Artie Gold||124 lbs||Win||4||News|| |-align=center |02-13-1923||Tommy Stapleton||||Bert Smithers||||Win||8||KO|| |-align=center |02-13-1923||Joe O'Brien||||Mickey Griffin||||Loss||4||News|| |-align=center |02-20-1923||Battling Johnson||||Joe Senter||||Cancelled||0||X|| |-align=center |04-03-1923||Billy
