    makes you think if this whole tyson is broke thing is real. Last time I checked they were saying he was severly in debt, in the millions. He must be living very comfortably now to turn down 35m.

    Holyfield beat him twice and is still in the mix i wouldnt consider that ducking tyson has been retired 5 yrs

    No way the fight would make enough to give him 35million.. seriously.. it'd be a freakshow.. and it wouldn't sell near enough to break even paying that much.
     
  7. Hard to see Mike turning down that kind of money:huh who the hell is gonna buy this ****, both guy's are shot???

    It won't be 35 million, and Mike is smart enough to see that. Holyfield needs to also stop the delusions and call it a career.

    I'd like to think Mike turned it down because he's finally at peace with himself and in his life and doesn't need the payday, regardless of how much it is. That and he knows he has nothing left to give in the ring. He gave his word that he was retired and he's stuck to it.

    Good tyson should stay retired. He is too old and he already loss his hunger a while back. I mean look at the mcbride fight. He just basically quit.

    They'd need to have Lennox Lewis as a special guest referee for this freakshow to generate enough to pay Mike 35Mill.

    Scratch that, Lennox would also need to be given permission to punish either fighter for fouls by unloading some of his famous right hands on their ugly mugs
