How did Evander Holyfield become a big PPV draw?

[hectari]

Same way Pacquiao became a draw, by putting on exciting fights, fighting hard, and being the smaller man taking on bigger dudes toe to toe.

Lennox Lewis wasn't a huge draw for a heavvyweight his biggest ppvs was with evander and tyson

someone correct me if im wrong here, but didn't he only average like 300k buys

How did Lennox make so much money if he didn't draw well on USA soil?

this and the rub Douglas got from beating Tyson. There literally isn't more publicity ever than Douglass got for that win.

Holyfield fought nothing but big fights for the most part, and was always an exciting fighter giving us great fights like dokes, bowe, foreman, mercer, cooper, etc etc

He won a Gold Medal as well

Holyfield won the bronze. Many say he was ripped off because he knocked out his opponent but the ref said "break" before the punch landed. Holyfield was was dominating and on his way to the gold though and the DQ probably motivated him even more. The controversy made him better known when he turned pro. He was very impressive as a young pro against tough competition.

Oh damn I thought he won gold my bad but he was an Olympian back when people use to care who was on the Olympic boxing team.
