Arum To Promote Tyson?

WTF!!!! This shit is from last year.. Why the hell is this crap being posted??? :mad: Get a fucking life Truth roberto brought it back up not the truth. look at the dates

"Arum renews talk of promoting Tyson Norm Frauenheim The Arizona Republic Feb. 21, 2005 12:00 AM Bob Arum has a renewed interest in promoting Mike Tyson, who plans to resume training this week in Phoenix for another comeback. "You will see me fight again," Tyson said Friday night while sitting at ringside with Arum at Fort McDowell Casino. Arum has had ongoing talks with Tyson, who repeated his plans Saturday night during the HBO telecast of Bernard Hopkins' 20th defense of his middleweight title. "We spoke while he was in Florida," Arum said of the ex-heavyweight champ, who was at trainer Buddy McGirt's gym in Vero Beach, Fla. It's not clear who will work with him at Central Boxing on west Van Buren Street. Freddie Roach is getting Manny Pacquiao ready for Erik Morales on March 19. Arum had an $80 million deal for three fights before Danny Williams' upset of Tyson last summer knocked it off the table. Since Tyson's knee surgery, there have been the usual mixed messages and controversy. It wouldn't be Tyson without them. He said in New York he wasn't sure he wanted to fight again. He was alleged to have jumped onto the hood of a car outside of a Scottsdale nightclub. Friday night, he was relaxed, friendly and looked to be close to his fighting weight. Arum is approaching Tyson the only way anybody ever can: With caution. Yet, he remains intrigued by a 38-year-old who never seems to run out of chances. "We'll see," Arum said. "First of all, it's important for him to get his confidence back. Put him in two or three fights to restore confidence that he can beat anybody. Take him abroad. Put him on free TV. Don't ask people to pay big money the first few times out. That just would make everybody mad." After Williams, Arum offered to promote Tyson back up through ranks in the humble style that regained a heavyweight title for a 45-year-old George Foreman. Tyson wasn't interested. Yet, he still needs to fight his way out of bankruptcy, which he declared a year ago. Therein rests a dangerous dilemma. After Tyson absorbed a succession of brain-rocking punches from Williams, Roach said all the money in the world isn't worth much if you can't count it. In a ringside seat and in the gym, Tyson always looks as if he can still fight. Only in his mind, however, will anybody ever know whether he really wants to. It's a huge gamble, but maybe Arum has calculated it's still one worth taking." From: the arizona republic WTF!!!! This shit is from last year..

what Tyson needs to do is go to a promoter who can really promote him and go back to catskills and either have kevin rooney train him again or go to Jose Torres and ask him to train him. Or maybe even go back to Fredie Roach. And if he can do those two things and really train and get to about 217, I really think he can make some noise in the heavyweight division.

Oh Mike, what are you doin? See kids, this is what happens when you get in debt, it ruins you. Please God help Mike out.... please......

nah he aint done..alot of people are saying he is going to fight in that superheavyweight tournament in australia later in the summer sometime. Cant really discourage him either..i mean its a bunch of 4 round fights..even a shot 40 year old Tyson can still win 4 rounders.

He's done. Been done for some time now. Except it and move on.

if tyson wants it hel be unstopable again ^^^^^^^^^ yup....

man i thought it was new then i say the date and was like awwwww shit

Bunch of bullshit rumors like usual. I don't believe a single word of it.

he needs to get a trainer that locks him in a cage and slaps him around and tells him to go crazy in the ring and not force him to outbox his opponents...this lovey dovey shit has to go, if not he has no chance because no fighter out there is scared of him anymore...

if tyson wants it hel be unstopable again

Not much, I´m afraid.. Maybe, but keep in mind over the last 12 years Tyson hasn't fought alot of rounds. He didn't fight at all in 1992,1993,1994 and 1998 and usaully fights once a year(and like I said most of his fights were short)So even though he is 39 he might have more left than we think.

That would be a good thing if Arum promotes him...anyone but Don King. Problem is no one really knows how much Tyson has left in him. Not much, I´m afraid..

They better match Tyson against some one he DEFINITLEY BEAT for his first fight back. And someones probably going to say I thought he was supposed to definitley beat Danny Williams, yeah but Danny Williams isn't a complete bum and thats what Tyson should have been fighting coming off a 17 month layoff.

I know right... It would make the producers of CSI and those reality shows pretty upset..

Maybe, maybe not... After the Williams fight, alot of people who are big-fight boxing fans said Tyson is finished, if Arum can promote Tyson, and get people to believe he's back, he'll still be a big money-maker...No matter what happens, he's always going to be a PPV arena sell-out fighter.. That would be cool if Tyson's first fight back was on free television, imagine the ratings that would do.

Too bad Tyson didn't beat Danny Williams because he could have gotten an 80 million fight deal with Arum now he won't get nearly as much. Maybe, maybe not...
