    I have no interest in paying for any senior boxing but I do possess a certain modicum of curiosity. That being said, the Evander Holyfield - Vitor Belfort bout was a sad, heart wrenching debacle so I probably won't watch.

    With no headgear? Id be down for that. Its a shame that their paths never crossed when they were both relevant in the late 90s early 2000's.

    If they did three 2 minute rounds it could be cool. Tyson vs Jones was actually mildly awesome at the beginning so I'm not totally opposed to the concept, but 8x3 was very excessive for their conditioning.

    There are a lot of 25 year old pro boxers who can't really sustain for 24 minutes, so I'm not sure what the point of having old men try it is.

    Then you must be easily amused. That was a disgrace especially for something thats PPV. Tyson was holding back big time.

    Nobody was holding a gun to your head to buy it. Entertainment is entertainment.

    This was the absolute dream match up for me back in the day. Tua got me into boxing and Tyson is one of my favourites. Even given their ages, I'd love to see it. I know it'd mean a lot to the Tuaman too.

    I enjoyed the first couple of rounds. Then Tyson started tiring and Jones danced and held. That part was not good at all.
