I'm pretty sure they get it for free with their cable system. I know all of the wrestling PPVs they get for free.

Tyson was out classed in all respects. He could not hit Lewis without getting four jabs to the head.
Why in the world would Lewis ever fight Tyson again? This fight left no question about who is the better fighter or pudgiest specialist as Lewis termed it.
I agree Tyson behaved himself but that should be expected NOT congratulated. I really don’t understand this community of boxing that congratulated Tyson for being gracious.
How many times do you congratulate someone for not behaving like an ass? "Yea Tyson your a gracious looser, you did not hit any women this week and when you were being beaten you did not decide to take a snake break on Lewis's ear." He got a 13 million-dollar payday after all.

Hi Scott mate!

Hi TC!
Actually Europeans don't get the big fights for free.
This particular fight was £16 via Sky Box Office. (about $25)
We get 'virtually' all the wrestling PPVs for free (we had to pay for the Royal Rumble a few months back).
Boxing can be sold whereas Wrestling generally cannot because big fights typically generate a lot of gambling interest. Also Boxing events typically take place on Saturday Night (Sunday Morning for us) - so most people don't have to get up for work the next day. Wrestling PPVs are always on Sunday Night (Monday morning here) which hampers interest.

Thanks UC for clearing that up!
I actually find that quite interesting how all of that works and the reasons why. 25 bucks is still a good deal considering.

I am personally glad Tyson got his "expletive-deleted" kicked all over the "expletive-deleted" place, cause Tyson shouldn't even be in a "expletive-deleted" fight and deserved his "expletive-deleted"-whoopin. I think he's a piece of "expletive-deleted" and should be barred from boxing entirly...What the heck am I sayin, they shouldn't have let the "expletive-deleted" outta prison.

Thanks Colonel

The word is "expletive." Sorry; seeing it that many times in a row made me nuts. No offense intended.
Anyway, I'm sorta-kinda disappointed that Tyson didn't do better than he did. However, I've been a fan of Lewis for a long time, and feel he made a satisfying and convincing showing. He really is a champion in both ability and demeanor. Well, except when he fights dirty...
Y'know, though, when you think about it, it's surprising there aren't more guys like Tyson - I mean, after all, it's a sport predicated upon beating the crap out of somebody else...and I'm a huge boxing fan. Friday Night Fights is a staple of my TV week, especially since the demise of the sorely-missed Tuesday Night Fights.
