Tyson: Mayweather Now Has To Live Up To The Fights
by Edward Chaykovsky
Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is very impressed with Floyd Mayweather's very lucrative multi-fight deal with Showtime. Mayweather officially jumped ship from HBO to Showtime a few weeks ago, and signed a six fight agreement that some estimate is worth $250 million dollars. The first fight of the deal takes place on May 4th, when Mayweather defends the WBC welterweight title against Robert Guerrero at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Back in the 90's, it was Tyson who made nationwide headlines when he jumped from HBO to Showtime.
"That's a guy's dream when they see someone doing that. That's the pinnacle. That's what they want to accomplish. That's what they want to get involved with. 100% [there is a new life in Showtime now], no doubt about it. The only thing is - Floyd now has to live up to the fights. He's not young anymore. He's older and he's fighting younger guys. If he continues to perform like he has been, then he'll be a superman," Tyson said to Power106.
