    As long as people are dumb enough to pay to see him fight. People are pretty dumb so it could take a while.

    Well, Tyson is very long time well known.
    To see Tyson most likely wished a lot of ppl even if he didn't fought.
    Tyson frequently is asked autographs, to take picture with him. He is a bit iconic person.

    Probably worn off already. Will be a case of falling interest and sales. Of course people were interested in the Jones. It’s ****ing Mike Tyson! Jones as well though though most probably the people who bought it didn’t know much about him. Novelty is now gone. Tyson looked decent for those seeking nostalgia and the classic peek a boo was a blast from the past but doubt anyone wants to watch another one

    There some fights between long time well known veretans might be sold well.

    If about A.J looks that his destiny is fight pre retirement age boxers:
    41 y.o Klitschko. 39 y.o Povetkin. Now will be 39 y.o Pulev.
    Ruiz despite looking out of shape and leg lazy appeared for A.J not enogh old to look impressive vs him.

    I bought the ppv because it's Tyson and I heard they were supporting charities. I gotta say for 50 bucks I was entertained. Better than dropping 100 bucks to watch pac vs Mayweather. Lol.

    How are the people buying it dumb or suckers tho? From what I've heard it actually surpassed most people's expectations and they were happy with the ppv they got.

    It's unbelievable this circus act of a fight grossed $60 million. Beyond belief.

    As long as people want to pay for it, and the 'bouts' remain glorified sparring sessions, he'll keep at it, until he gets bored with it.

    I think Tyson vs Holyfield will be next and will be huge, bigger than any boxing event including Fury vs Joshua. Might be an exhibition but the whole planet knows Tyson will be wanting revenge for that fight.

    I think after this first one, the demand will dwindle for a second


    then he’ll quit not long after that


    much like that tour he did years ago he kept a shirt on that exhibition tour - I think it was canceled after the first show


    this Roy Jones exhibition sold well but I don’t think he can continue to milk that much more—- one more maybe

    It was entertaining, no one got hurt, and it raised money for charity. I say keep it up.

    I’m honestly shocked it did so well. I certainly didn’t want to see old guys fight, but it was a charity event and both guys probably had fun with it. I’m still not interested in these bouts but I don’t see anything wrong with them unless they actually plan on hurting each other.
