    I thought it was Lewis/Tyson because they got shares of ppv and gates in addition to their base purses. I am almost positive that Lennox, who got the bigger share, got more than DLH's $50 million.

    Lennox-Tyson was 50/50. They made more than DLH-Mayweather, because there was big PPV # in the UK. They made over $60millions each. Only in the USA they made $120millions.

    I don't know about those fgures. Between the U.S and U.K sales, Tyson vs. Lewis did about 2.8 million buys. The U.S figures alone for Mayweather vs. DLH were 2.4 million

    Lewis and Tyson both got $17.5m as a flat fee plus a percentage of the profits from the PPV.

    Now, while I reckon that pumped up their wallets quite a bit, I don't reckon it got as high as $50m...probably more like $30m, $35m at a stretch.

    So I think DLH takes this one.

    I believe Lewis got more than Tyson, I think it was 55/45 or 60/40 in Lewis' favor.
