    What does Tyson benefit from fighting Holy? If he wins it doesnt mean ****, the purse goes to his debtors. If he loses it just adds more humiliation. I wish \Mike would do humanitarian work

    Surley Holyfield is rated higher then Tyson currently , so its all good for Tyson if he wins. But yes its more about money.

    I hope all the respective Athletic Commissions on the other side of the pond club together and prevent this joke of a fight from happening.

    Tyson really created the mystery of the universe. How a guy can **** away a career earning of some $250 million, and wind up in debt I'll never know.

    Holyfield would probably knock Tyson out again. He probably wants revenge for getting part of his ear bitten off.

    This fight will happen, there's too much money in it for both men. The Heavyweight division is struggling to say the least, judging by the unification fight last saturday, it's not getting better anytime soon, the popularity of the division has diminished. Why not bring back the guys that made the division so popular throughout the 80s and 90s, they are still the 2 biggest PPV draws, aside from Oscar who is currently 1st in buys, followed by Holyfield and then Tyson.

    This might not mean much for the division in terms of either man getting another title shot, but it does mean alot of money for both men, and at least for one night the Heavyweight division will be exciting again to the average person.

    Sadly, I'll bet this freakshow will happen. The last gasp for both of them. If Tyson got ktfo by McBride, Holyfield (who's actually still in top shape as far as training/conditioning) will kill him. This will be painful to watch.

    A 38 year old Mike Tyson could'nt last 12 rounds with Kevin Mcbride, and was knocked out and beaten up by Danny Williams.

    "A 44 year old Evander Holyfield went 12 rounds with Sultan, would Mike Tyson last 2 rounds...?"
