I'm sure if you took the paypeview reveniew away from Lewis's earnings Eubanks wouldn't look so bad in comparison.
And why is it that Lennox became a ppv commodity to begin with? Because he made a name for himself by making big fights, somethink Eubanks didn't take advantage of.
That is right the way to gain popularity and money is to fight all the big names in and around your division like lennox did. The trouble with british fighters now is that their fans will watch them fight any old hack and still pay their money. I mean 35000 to watch joe v manfredo is ridiculous, if it had taken place in my back yard i probably wouldnt have gone out to have a look.
