HBO OFFERS LEWIS BEST OF BOTH WORLDS: MONEY AND HOLYFIELD

5.20.1998

          HBO has offered Lennox Lewis a guarantee of $30M for
     five fights, "with a window for Lewis to meet Evander
     Holyfield," who is contracted to Showtime, according to
     Steve Bunce of the London DAILY TELEGRAPH.  Lewis has until
     the middle of June to agree to the offer, and Bunce wrote
     that he "surely will."  As part of the deal, only three of
     Lewis' five fights "have to be against so-called category A
     performers" such as Ray Mercer, Buster Douglas or Michael
     Moorer (Steve Bunce, London DAILY TELEGRAPH, 5/19).
