    I wouldn't pay a penny to watch this fight, and if everybody else refused to pay for it, maybe we can avoid joke fights like this from ever taking place.

    THE GEEZERS AT CAESARS!

    I would watch it if Tyson went for the other ear.

    The sentiment is going against you. Most would pay to watch.

    Prolly would, more for curiosity. A good undercard would seal the deal.

    I doubt I would pay money to watch it. It would have to be a heck of an undercard to get me to pay for it, and not something like the Bowe/Golota and Mercer/McCall suggestion. If the fight somehow turned out to be interesting, I might watch it on a free replay.

    I can see the same thing in the parking lot at the local Sports Bar where two drunk fifty-year old bankers duke it out over the waitress inside. And it only costs me the price of a couple of brewski's (pre-fight, post-fight)

    It is their history and the combination of these two boxing legends in the ring that is the appeal. Individually they could no longer draw viewers. But together it could be a monster.

    i would absolutely not pay for this, and even if it were free, i'd only watch it if i had nothing better to do.

    An interesting and solid undercard would help sell it....perhaps supported with two bouts featuring: one with undefeated prospects and another with a lower weight title fight.

    i was at the first two, i would feel guilty if i didn't attend the third. Even though Tyson really has no business in the ring any more..
