When Tyson attacked Lewis, it's hard to deny that that melee didn't draw more attention to their fight months later. Same can be said about Floyd's ko of Ortiz. This only adds fuel to the fire for Mayweather haters to see him "get beatdown by Pac" in their inevitable matchup.

Controversy has always been part of the sport.
You're seriously comparing Tyson attacking Lewis and drawing more attention to the fight to a bullshit decision wish left the whole stadium booing? This WON'T attract fans, nobody is happy with the result, especially the people that payed money to see it. Apart from the fact that Chad doesn't want a rematch with Hopkins, not many people will PAY to see it after tonight. Like I said before "It's a black eye to the sport" in no way is this good.
