Dude is 53 years old, give me a break.  Should say "I'm Broke".

Did you watch the video of him working out in the OP?  He looks like Billy Bob Thornton in this picture.

I have to admit I have not, still at work.   I just dont know who he would fight right now.   The top heavyweights, and some not so top heavyweights were eating his lunch 15 years ago.

 

The only reason for the guy to come back is for a payday, and I dont know who they could even put him in the ring with.   Fury, Wilder and Joshua may legitimately maim him.   Unless the video was just him showing that a 53 year old guy is still in good shape?

There have been whispers of a Tyson-Holyfield exhibition.  I don't think he wants to vie for a belt, or anything.  Even if it's an exhibition, I'll pony up to watch it live.

He's not going 12 with a 20-30yr old at this point.

But he'd probably still be hell on wheels for a couple rounds.

Would Holyfield wear ear muffs? 

 

Tyson was the most exciting thing to happen to pro boxing since the days of Ali and his contemporaries.  His demise in and out of the ring was shocking. His return was embarrassing. I'd watch if it were free, otherwise it's a hard pass for me.

I would spend PPV money to watch Tyson fight any day!

 

Our next door neighbor more than 30 years ago would get his PPV’s. The whole PPV thing was kind of new, and I was shocked at what he paid for the fight. I was even MORE shocked when it was over in about 14 seconds. 

 

We learned to go earlier.

That was the window in my life of the pirate cable box. You had to buy a new one every year or two but the PPV boxing events made it more than worth the cost.

Totally agree.

 

Yet... @Gugny is willing. Something is terribly wrong  here w/a guy  known to wheel a way smokers  under the cover of night to save a penny or two. LoL..

You’ll spend money every day to watch Tyson fight, but you won’t pay to go to more than one Bills game/year. You must be on the wrong website.

 

Perhaps it's the company ..

This guy wants no part of Tyson again!!!

I really couldn’t tell you a thing about him beyond his name, including nickname, and him calling iron mike “Mike cicely Tyson”.  There are very few who can rival Mitch Blood Green’s 15 minutes of fame. “He-he-he jumping around like a B$TCH!!!”.

Is Tyson really going to fight someone?  Like UFC?

 

 

For quite some time Mike has been saying he is not interested in fighting again as he doesn't like who he is when he is fighting. 

 

With respect to the "comeback" he's said he might do charity events and such. I think he's mostly doing it to get back into shape and kick up some media attention.

I was wondering if maybe his savings account was getting a little light.  Can you imagine how much $ he would bring in for just 1 UFC fight?  I know I would pay to see it.

Yes, I really think this is more along the lines of exhibition boxing matches.

...safe to say that "Floyd The 'Roid" ain't on your Christmas list I presume........

Haha, yeah I just got roped into watching too many awful Floyd “fights” my friends wanted to see. It was always like watching two guys go for a light jog.

I just saw something on FB.  Tyson vs Holyfield 4 round exhibition on July 11th.  Location TBD.  Can’t find anything about it online though.  Must be FAKE NEWS...SAD!
