The last fight against Andrew Golota drew only 300,000 on the pay-per-view in America, which meant that financially it was a disaster.

I think that this is a very good point. Lately, the big headliner fights have been very disappointing. Whether or not Lewis gave Tua a boxing lesson, the fight was boring. If the boxing audience comes to expect the big headliner fights to be boring, they are probably going to be less interested in paying money to see the fights (PPV or live).

Mr molloy,

Welcome back; long time no see.

Lennox Lewis gave David Tua a boxing lesson here.

Agreed. I was surprised, and not a little disappointed, though I did expect Lewis to win.

I don't believe for one moment that Tyson would give Lewis a decent fight, though. I think if they fought, the fight would be over in two rounds and Lewis would knock him out.
