"Fight fans know there was some controversy," Muhammad said. "The decision was a close one. Now they can click on to foxsports.com and judge it themselves. They will also see a bloody war of attrition between Diaz and Johnson and a nip-and-tuck battle between Navarro and Elizondo which also wound up a very narrow victory.
"It is an opportunity to witness the legendary Holyfield in a historic, highly-competitive match as he marches on towards that spectacular bid to become a five-time heavyweight champion. As I often said in the run-up, Evander's age is not 44, it is $44.95, and this great show is worth it.
"Look at this way, you are paying pennies for precious memories. Or you could say it is just $15 per fight, a boxing bargain to be sure," Muhammad said.
