Who was the Bigger Draw?? Naz or Lennox??

Just wondering

 

hmm. Heavyweight or featherweight? Let me think about that one.

 

I'd say Naz. Cetainly in the UK anyway.

 

I'd say Naz aswell

 

UK- Naz
US- Probably Lewis

 

Naz was more well known to the man on the street, but Lewis' pay-per-view sales would say he was the bigger draw imo

 

Naz by a mile.

Lennox although getting credit now, during his career, the Brits did not really give a **** about. Bruno was far more popular at HW than Lewis ever was. Having a Candian accent did not help him.

 

Doesn't Lewis-Holyfield still hold the British PPV record?

 

I don't think it ever did. It was Bruno vs Tyson, then Lewis vs Tyson, then Hatton vs Mayweather overtook it by a mile a couple of years back.

 

How sure are you about that?

 

It was all over boxing sites at the time. I found this just now.

Cool.:good

 

You're welcome.

In answer to the TS, if you add up Lewis' ppv buys he is streets ahead but outside of his massive fights with legends Holyfield and Tyson he didn't do any other massive business. He was always the side B to big fights and when he was side A the fights were smaller. Naz was always the bigger name and still brought big crowds, impressive considering he was a featherweight.

 

I think Naz was more popular among the people that dont watch boxing. Your average sports fan who dosnt spend his money.

Lewis was globably more famous and was more popular with the boxing fans of the UK and definatly was the bigger draw.

 

Lewis by a country mile.
