    People do not understand how the business of boxing works . . . they see these guys making these huge paydays and think they are set for life. the sad reality is the vast majority of boxers die broke and struggle after they call it a day. That is why I am happy when fighters start changing the business model and keeping higher percentage of the purse.

    Tyson is an articulate, intelligent guy. Toney is a brain damaged, blubbering ignoramus. Not sure there's much call for that tbh.

    Also no network would risk having him commentating with some of the **** he comes out with so it's unlikely he would become the next RJJ/Paulie.

    While a lot if that is true, guys like Hearns, Tyson, Holy, Toney etc going broke has nothing to do with the % if the purse they kept.

    If they'd made twice as much money, they'd still be broke.

    Boxers are just shittily managed. They don't have teams, team mates, organizations etc that can even provide basic support.

    Get a decent accountant and financial help FFS. And that doest mean someone Don King introduces you to.

    It's basic, fundamental life skills those guys are lacking. Look at Holyfields house and expenses FFS. Did he think he was going to keep making huge money into his 60s?

    Plenty if boxers have made far less than all if those guys and ended up very comfortable, if not flat out rich.

    The biggest thing about James Toney these days is the arse print on his leather sofa.

    It is a sad what happened to James. I hope he can retire with some money so he is not tempted to fight anymore.

    He should become a male prostitute.

    Tyson is intelligent? Probably the most idiotic thing I seen posted here which is saying something since I seen 1 billion threats about how great Marciano was. Tyson is just as big as a idiot as Toney. The only difference is Tyson is more popular. Toney should of raped and beat on some females and then Toney could be in movies and worshiped too.

    Give Toney a break.

    He was weight-drained from making heavyweight.

    You are completely incorrect. Tyson did not **** that girl. Go check your facts. And he is highly intelligent. Your hero Shawn Kemp is unintelligent. He never discovered condoms.

    Lol Kemp is my hero? Amazing since you internet know me. You were there with Tyson when he raped that girl? I would rather have sex with a female who wanted me like Shawn Kemp than have to **** females to get sexy.

    Tyson is a borderline ******. I never understand anything he is saying. A clown who spend his career fighting Don King controlled set-ups and beating and raping females made him a star.

    Yeah Tyson has admitted to every crime he ever did yet he still maintains his innocence on the Desiree Washington case after serving his time? He clearly didnt do it. And the ***** who accused him had a history of accusing men of **** so that her family won't be angry with her for ****ing every guy in town. Please.

    "In the opening moments of tonight's "Real Sports" piece about Tyson's one-man show, Goldberg asks "are you a thespian?"

    TYSON: "I don't know about that."

    GOLDBERG: "I'm not talking about your sexuality. I'm talking about thespian, being an actor."

    TYSON:

    Goldberg shrugged it off by making a joke about being verbally "KO'd," but that's a rookie mistake. Was he the only journalist in the world who didn't know that Tyson is pretty well-read and much brighter than he seems?"
