After several years of obscurity, the heavyweight division is back in the eye of public. In what many feel is currently the single most important fight in the heavyweight division, James "Lights Out" Toney will try to get a piece of "The Rock" when he meets WBC heavyweight champion, Hasim "The Rock" Rahman in Atlantic City.
The promoters of the bout and HBO, expect one of the largest viewing audiences in the history of heavyweight boxing to tune in on Saturday night. Not only is the fight being offered on regular HBO, the network is having a free preview weekend, which means just about anyone can catch the fight. Promoter Bob Arum in particular, was banking on the heavy television exposure for his fighter Hasim Rahman, and that was one of the main reasons the fight is not being held on pay-per-view. [details]
