Tyson fight sets record
New York ? The Lennox Lewis-Mike Tyson heavyweight title fight was the highest-grossing pay-per-view event in history.
HBO said Tuesday that its joint venture with Showtime had grossed $103 million on 1.8 million buys, $3 million more than the previous high, the second bout between Tyson and Evander Holyfield.
Lewis dominated Saturday night’s fight and knocked out Tyson in the eighth round.
