Why do Lennox Lewis fans deny, lie and distort information?

Boxing: Lewis to meet Bowe


Saturday 18 June 1994


Lewis will earn pounds 12m and Bowe nearly pounds 9m, according to the champion's financial backer, Pannos Eliades.

This depends upon Lewis's successful mandatory defence against Oliver McCall at Wembley in September and Bowe winning a comeback fight
'We're looking forward to Lewis being recognised as the best heavyweight,' Lewis's manager, Frank Maloney, said in London yesterday at the announcement of the deal

Bowe's plans for bout with Lewis appear intact


August 15, 1994|By Alan Goldstein | Alan Goldstein,Sun Staff Writer



By virtue of the no-contest ruling, it appears he can go through with his $20 million fight against World Boxing Council champion Lennox Lewis in December or March. Had Bowe lost, Lewis would have been free to seek another opponent



After reaching a contract stalemate in dealing with Maloney, Newman went directly to Lewis' chief financial backer, Greek industrialist Panos Eliades, to work out the deal that will guarantee Lewis $12 million and Bowe at least $8 million.

 

Mar 11, 2012 - Judges' Mercy Boosts Lennox Lewis' Victory Has Fans At Loss

BY VIC ZIEGEL Saturday, May 11, 1996

The one shock, heavyweight robbery, came when the judges couldn't find it in their scorecards to give Merciless Ray Mercer a decision over Lennox Lewis. This wasn't supposed to be a close fight but nobody told Mercer, who hasn't had a win in his two fights since November 1993. The 35-year-old Mercer is tough, has never been stopped, but he's a reliable loser

 

Boxing: Lewis deal trumps Duva



HARRY MULLAN


Sunday, 19 June 1994



Frank Maloney, whose dollars 31m deal for the Lennox Lewis v Riddick Bowe fight was completed behind the Duvas' back, had better bring Lewis along as his minder when he next encounters the formidable Lou and his lawyer son Dan



But even Lou's temper cools in time, and some kind of compensation will be worked out before Lewis and Bowe face each other. The date and venue will not be finalised until after Lewis's September defence against his mandatory challenger, Oliver McCall, but February in Las Vegas seems a good bet



Friday's announcement was sweet revenge for Maloney and Lewis

 

Wut? So you think Lewis ducked Bowe by purposefully losing to McCall?
