FRANK WARREN has issued
a clarification of the offer he
made to Lennox Lewis on
behalf of Don King for a
fight with Mike Tyson. "It
was for a total of $18m", he
says, "comprised as follows:
$lm as soon as terms
were agreed, $4m when
Tyson fought Bruce Seldon
in September, $4m when
Tyson fought Evander
Holyfield, a $2m penalty
payment if the Lewis-Tyson
fight did not take place by
March 1997, and $7m when
the Lewis-Tyson fight actually
took place.
'The deal was refused
because Seth Abraham of
HBO demanded $7m from
Lewis' purse because of
Lewis' contractual obligations
to HBO. Now, thanks
to Abraham, Lewis has only
one option - to fight Oliver
McCall for the vacant WBC
title, for which he would
not receive more than
$2m."
