    The Paid Gate for Holyfield-Botha? $58,695....and that's no typo.

    FROM KEVIN IOLE:

    Speaking of millionaires who went broke, how embarrassing is this? The paid gate at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas to see former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield fight Francois Botha was a whopping $58,695.

    Holyfield has three of the top five gates in Nevada history: No. 2, against Lennox Lewis, at $16.8 million; No. 4 in his rematch against Mike Tyson at $14.2 million and No. 5 in his first fight against Tyson at $14.1 million. The public is completely rejecting Holyfield, 47, and his inane quest to regain the undisputed heavyweight championship.

    Only 1,100 tickets were sold for the Botha fight in an area that can hold upwards of 19,000 for boxing.

    That's $58,695 more than I thought the fight would make.
