These guys really need this financially. The thing is...they don't need a promoter to do it...they can promote it themselves and keep all the money. Tyson should really step up and grab that cheque while he still can. Holyfield would jump at it in a heart beat. They could make millions and retire with some security. But realistically Tyson really seems far removed from the possibility and has said so many times and it would be really hard for him to get in boxing shape after all these years. Holyfield should train him for it (quietly)...they seem to be really good friends now.
I don't really know just how much these two retired greats "need" the money. One thing I'm sure neither they nor boxing needs, is the shame of exploiting themselves for some clown's idea of entertainment.
Pathetic. Exploitation of Boxing to the highest degree. Turning it into a circus act but at least circus acts are taken seriously....this is nothing but a joke.
Mike Tyson said absolutely he will never fight again and hes happy its over.
He said for no amount of money, hes done in the ring.
Mentally hes not there anyore and physically he looks like hes lost most of his muscle.
Physically, he is literally a shell... I love Mike though and thinks hes doing well in the entertainment industry... but in the ring, he gets beat by fringe contenders.
Not a chance to happen - there is no chance this "promoter" will give letters of credit ( advance guarantees ) to Tyson and Evander that total 25 million dollars, or more! Neither fighter will walk into the ring unless there is big money already in their accounts. I don't blame them - would you trust this "promoter." In Russia no less!

That is the sensible line of thinking, he has been done for a very very long time and no one wants to see him fight anyway.
