Well, we know that Peter Jackson said that, in the movie, we should really see Sauron fight, because he compared it with Star Wars and asked if we could imagine not seeing Darth Vader? (Of course, the situations are completely different but nevermind, big baddie, MUST SEE! )
This makes me think that he really, really wanted to go through with it (as opposed to the Arwen-at-Helm's-Deep fantasy, which I don't think he was too bothered about). Apparently it was fan uproar that stopped the Arwen thing, and maybe fan uproar has been given as a cause of stopping the 'Gorn-Sauron thing.
But it may just be that Jackson was all set to fine-tune the fight scene (because we know they filmed it), when he suddenly thought "Hold on, we need the eye up there! On top of the tower! Cancel the fight."
