    Holyfield has Tyson's number if this fight is one, Holyfield stops him again.

    Remember everybody - the best way to make something unpleasant go away is to ignore it. Don't go paying $30 or whatever to watch this out of morbid curiosity. Hell, don't even find a stream. Don't let there be any indication of interest, and hopefully they'll both just go away after getting this out of their system. Otherwise there will be a 4, 5 & 6.

    Holyfield, now 46 years old, fought for the WBO heayweight belt in October 2007
    when he was outpointed by Russian holder Sultan Ibragimov.


    The reporter says last time Holyfield fought was late 07
    :patsch

    Has this actually been confirmed 100% or is it still speculation? As has been pointed out, the Arabian site it is on were claiming Kaka was a done deal and they were obviously wrong. In fact, they weren't even close to being right.

    Stupid though it is, if they can get some even more stupid Arab to pay them $34m each then good luck to them. They've both given me a lot of entertainment over a couple of decades so if they can suck the buck out of the Gulf to help themselves out of their financial **** then why not? Hopefully they both get themselves smart accountants who keep the money out of the clutches of the Federal US and any other bloodsucker who wants a piece of them.

    If they actually get 34 million each, then it's totally subsidized with the basis that it's good for Dubai, right? I mean that money isn't coming from us (the fans), obviously.

    That's the way I see it. It would be underwritten by somebody dumb ****er over there figuring it would be like "The Rumble In The Jungle". That said, they would lose money in one way but they would figure they would make a bundle on the tourism and TV rights. Maybe they would but they surely wouldn't even get the purse back. Or could they? :think

    No way can Holyfield stand up against a fit motivated Rooney-trained injury-free Tyson who hasn't got a legal case on his mind. No way.
