Thanks Bear! I googled it and several articles came up about it! Quite a bit of information in fact with photos! A Los Angeles Times article from 2008.....
“Nearly every Thursday night, the hulking brick-red wooden barn owned by the former world heavyweight champion filled up with about 1,100 fans eager to see amateur boxing matches and special exhibitions and contests.”
So that places it as holding amateur boxing. None of the articles mention of any specific pro boxing matches ever held.
