George Graham Rice (June 18, 1870 – October 24, 1943) (aka Jacob Herzig) was a convicted stock swindler.
In 1890, Herzig was convicted of stealing from his father's business to finance his gambling habits and spent two years in the Elmira Reformatory.
After that he returned to Manhattan and started Maxim & Gay Co., a racetrack tip sheet.
In 1906, Rice co-sponsored with Tex Rickard a boxing match in Goldfield between Joe Gans and Battling Nelson, which was the longest boxing match in history, lasting 42 rounds.
He pled guilty to mail fraud in 1911 and went to prison for a year, where he wrote his autobiography.
