    It looks like this is happening. An 8 round exhibition in LA this September with headgear and big gloves.

    Waiting for more details but I expect a tame 4 rounder with some headgear. Should be a real thrill for the two participants but likely not worth paying for as a viewer. Hope they get what they want out of it, make some cash, and no one gets hurt too bad.

    Both broke. Sad to see but well they have bills to pay, so I can't argue with men trying to earn a living.

    I thought Mike had a multi million dollar weed business going on right now?

    I think that went up in smoke.

    Doubt Jones is broke either.

    Hes still a commentator, trainer and promoter.

    Seems to have a lot of irons in the fire.

    I think there’s average man broke and multi millionaire broke.

    Jones gets knocked down just signing the contract

    HAHAHA. So many people on here were convinced Iron Mike was going to come back and start KO'ing top 10 HW's. This is hilarious, and I can't believe he duped so many people on here with just a handful of short marketing videos.

    He just has that magic. Even if he posted a few clips training or punching the heavy bag, people will explode with rumors by themselves. No more efforts required from Mike or his team.

    This will have to be staged and predetermined as Jones will get knocked out by the wind of Tyson's punches. Jones has one of the worst Glass Jaws I have ever seen. Roy has no Chin. None.

    That I can't argue with, the guy has the "it" factor. But there was a sizable and vocal group on here who actually believed he was going to come back and fight his way to a title shot.

    Ya’ll musta forgot


    Roy’s chin is an icicle



    I expect a very tame and respectful 4 rounder.
