Recently news goes around that Mike Tyson approached Larkin of Showtime and asked if there was a oppurtunity for him as a co-analyst. The response from Larkin was very serious and he said that Tyson's request was taken very seriouslly, because he feels Tyson does have a alot of knowlegde and provided he attends all the behind the seens stuff, ie meetings etc, then it could be a possibilty.

Wheter this will affect Mikes carreer as a boxer is yet undetermined. Mike Tyson has been co-analyst on several events (namely K-1 fights) and did exclusive commenting jobs for several boxing documentaries during his boxing carreer. Aswell as other boxers filled the role of co-analyst during an active carreer in the ring

Hope its true, good to see Mike possibly trying somthing else instead of fighting.

It would be great if it happens

as long is he ia willing to put the effort in, Tyson would do a great job and it'd be good to see him working. Hope it happens

I can't say I heard him comment on boxing fights before (though I'm not so sure :confused: ). And I know his good with the history. But is he any good?

im glad his doing something good to get paid, i thought he would just be a trainer in a local gym but this is good for him, anything thats getting poor old tyson paid is good news

I know Tyson was a guest commentator for Showtime during a few fights in the mid-90s, namely Hopkins vs. Mercado II and Brown vs. Pettway. He provided some pretty good insight.

Tyson probably knows more about boxing than anybody on the planet. The insight he can offer is amazing. I hope Showtime hires him.

If it happens it would be interesting, Tyson knows his boxing but he has a tendency to snap and say somthing pretty wild.

I'd like him more than Bobby Czyz, who happens to be one of his biggest nuthuggers lol

Just hire the guy. He has really f'cked up in life, but I still like him.

If it happens it would be interesting, Tyson knows his boxing but he has a tendency to snap and say somthing pretty wild.

and that will make me want to watch it even more, just waiting for Tyson to snap :D .....

I agree tyson knows his boxing and is still a big draw reguardless if he's in the ring or not. People would go to showtime fight just to see mike or even try to make mike snap.

tyson swears a lot uninhibitedly. o well haha
