LAS VEGAS, Nov 7: For a world heavyweight championship unification SHOWDOWN, the atmosphere here is somewhat lacking in tension.World Boxing Association champion Evander Holyfield considers boxing secondary to delivering his gospel message, feeding the homeless and preaching against drugs and violence to 15,000 at a religious revival.``This is not a distraction,'' Holyfield said. ``God is first in my life anyway. A big part of my life is leading people to Jesus. I'm called to spread the gospel.''``I love boxing. World titles are important. But I get my strength from the Lord. The most important thing is the Lord,'' he added.International Boxing Federation champion Michael Moorer wore a grim expression and blue jeans at yesterday's weigh-in, looking like a man with everything to lose instead of everything to win.Tomorrow's expected crowd of 15,000 will not be a sellout and the anticipated 600,000 pay-per-view purchases will fall at least $1.4 million short of last June's Holyfield-Mike Tyson ``bite fight'' total.What it lacks is a ``good versus evil'' spectacle of Christian crusader Holyfield facing convicted rapist Tyson. Holyfield, 34-3 with 24 knockouts, will receive $20 million from the rematch while Moorer, 39-1 with 31 knockouts, takes home $8 million in his chance for a career-defining triumph.Moorer won a split decision three and a half years ago in their first meeting and remains the only opponent Holyfield has never beaten.
