Marc Roberts, manager of Ray Mercer, said Thursday he would guarantee WBC heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis $20 million to fight Mercer.

Mercer would fight for free, should Lewis agree to guarantee $10 million to Project Pride at Newark, N.J., if he loses, Roberts said.

Asked if he thought Lewis would accept the offer, Roberts said, “I think if I offered $100 million, he wouldn’t fight Ray Mercer.”
