    He has made about £100,000,000 in his career.

    Another £25,000,000 would not change his lifestyle, he would still live as he does, buy what he wants, go where he wants. So he does not NEED the money does he Bilbo?

    To me and you, yeah it sounds fucking nuts to turn it down I grant you that.

    I want VK to bait him up and show some f*cking character for once in his dull existence...
    He bores me Vitali but he's very effective.

    Lewis should not accept Vitali should get over it.

    When they showed Lewis during the ringwalk on Saturday night he had a great big gut on him. He's not interested in coming back and I can't see King being able to come up with a hundred million guaranteed dollars (he'd have to pay two guys) to put the fight on. Lewis was only a PPV draw against Holyfield and Tyson. Two previously retired Europeans fighting each other at MSG is not going to pull in two million PPV buys.

    So I think we can safely say that this story is rubbish.

    No the story of an offer is more then likely true but then again lets look at the source....Don King knows about Hype and how to create it.....

    Just the offer alone is enough to attract viewers to watch Vitaly's next fight....The a few comments after the fight assuming Vitaly wins such as "This is why Lennox Lewis is refusing our offer"....Eventually he will create enough hype to make people believe Vitaly is the greatest HW since Holmes while having fought guys like, Sultan Ibragimov or Ruslan Chagaev...

    All marketing

    Kel me and you don't NEED the money I mean we are realistically going to live our entire lives without it.

    But the more money you have the more expensive your lifestyle is.

    I guarantee Lewis NEEDS £25,000,000 more than I do. I live in a one bedroom flat with total living expenses of about £1200-£1500 a month.

    Lewis probably has several homes, kids, a wife, cars, holidays and a lifestyle that costs £1200 - £1500 every hour.

    You don't earn £100,000,000 in your career without learning to love the green stuff.

    If a real serious offer was put forward Lennox would very seriously consider the possibility of a comeback.

    I'll have to check the odds on a Klitschko Lewis fight happening would be with the bookmakers because I think there could be money to be made on that bet...........

    I think Lewis has the kind of cash where he needs nothing. What can he do with an extra 25 million? buy a more expensive suit? Bigger house? Bigger TV?

    He must make thousands in interest every day.
