    I see what you mean - really bad fight. But it's not everyday the UAE gets a sporting spectacle that matches up to this, except the Dubai World Cup (world's richest horse race).

    I hope it does come off to tell you the truth.

    Tyson's too old and fat, Holyfield's too old and pretty much slurring his words at this point. Both of these guys do not need to go back in the ring to embarrss themselves with a pathetic showing, but hey, if they want to do it, who's to stop them?

    Besides, if I were either of these guys, I'd fight for 34 million.

    I just can't see this happening. It'll be pretty woeful to watch but, being in Dubai, I'll be masochistic enough to go and watch it.

    I hope it doesn't happen though. It won't do boxing any good if it does.

    Just let them have a light sparring session and pocket the much needed cash. It'll be worth if it they make enough to retire for good.

    Tyson and Holyfield will always produce at least a good event, if not a good fight anymore. It really doesn't bother me that their fighting each other like it seems to for some other posters, Holyfield wasn't going to retire anyway, and both need money, they'll get more in this fight than any other they could.

    Also, if it does happen, Holyfield kicks Tyson's ass (again).

    I will fight in either Tyson's or Holyfield's place! I will also humbly accept the 34 million :)

    If this fight happens, they should stage some other epic grudge matches on the undercard...like Golota-Bowe III, Holmes-Foreman, and Barrera-Morales IV.
