Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis Says WWE Did Make Offer For Brock Lesnar

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

In a recent interview on Michael Landsberg’s TSN Off The Record, former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis confirmed a longstanding rumor that he received a multi-million dollar offer in 2002, from WWE [World Wrestling Entertainment] owner Vince McMahon, to have a wrestling match with Brock Lesnar.

2002 was when Lewis had his financially successful pay-per-view wipeout of Mike Tyson. He retired the following year after gaining a TKO victory over Vitali Klitschko. Lensar captured his first WWE world heavyweight title, by beating the Rock, in the summer of 2002.

Turned down $8 million because he had to wear boxing gloves? Dafuq.

So, Lewis thinks Lesnar might work outside the script.

Yeah, he is worried about Vitali coming in as Lesnar's ringside manager making an interference when the ref isn't looking.

In the article it states Lewis doesn't want to take chances provided Lesnar gets brave and does something outside the "script".

Bit silly of lennox. Im sure lensar would have had great respect for lennox. Seems like a ****** reason.

Didn't Floyd turn down 8 million to face Margarito back when he was making a million

Dunno why the sudden cold feet, as far as I know Lesner has always been a professional and hasn't gone off script.

Than again I'm not a WWE aficionado, I could be completely wrong. But 8 mil man!
