BREAKING: 48-year-old Lennox Lewis says he is in talks to make a stunning comeback and fight a Klitschko for $100m.

 

Reliable source please!

 

Who the hell would pay up that kinda money to see an old legend getting his behind handed to him?
If there's some network who pays that for it, I'd say shed a few pounds and take the pounding for a lot of British pounds, but I don't believe they would pay it.

 

rumor of the decade

 

He wants $100m and he's only being offered $50million
He also prefers Vlad over Vitali.

Lennox Lewis is ready to make an astonishing comeback and fight one of the Klitschko brothers for the biggest purse in boxing history.
The Briton, who is still the most recent undisputed world heavyweight champion, has been offered $50million (£31m).
The offer came in Moscow at the weekend while he attended Wladimir Klitschko’s successful defence of his world titles against Alexander Povetkin.

The promoters are considering doubling their bid and Lewis says: ‘That is my price tag and it is under discussion.
‘I have told them I can be ready in six months and I am in provisional training.’

is my price tag and it is under discussion," Lewis was quoted as saying by the Mail. "I have told them I can be ready in six months and I am in provisional training.
"I am already under 300lb (around 50lb shy of his fighting weight)."


:yikes

 

The same people that paid to see Jack Johnson fight Jeffries in 1910

The same people that paid to see Holmes fight Ali in 1980

The same people that kept paying to see shot Tyson fight and lose to complete bums over and over.

The history of the sport is littered with examples like this.

 

Yes I think if 100 millions were real money for comeback fight than even George Foreman would consider comeback. And Lennox for sure.

But its highly doubtful that anyone is going to pay so much money for Lennox or any other boxer.

 

Dino what will your excuse be when Wlad easily beats Lewis?

 

no one is going to give him 50 million much less 100 million. at 48 years old and inactive for 11 years the result would look like Rahman vs Povetkin.

 

I would love for this to happen.

 

Roflmao Lennox is just yanking your chains Having a laugh at your expense. If you believe that I've got some prime building land in the Louisiana swamps to sell :rofl:

 

if lewis comes back and kos wlad...no1 alltime heavy??

 

If Joe Cal had an L on his resume I honestly believe he would come out of retirement himself rather than protect that 0.

 

Wlad would never have the cojones to get in the ring with Lennox :rofl Old Fairy Wlad knows what Lennox big right hand would do to his glass jaw ........... SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:|:|
