I dunno, if Larry makes it past Tyson's first punch he has a shot. yeah he does have a shot, but we're not talkin about whisky here.... Merchant by DQ, Tyson will try to bite Larry's liver

Oh, c'mon. You know all it would take would be a few early KO's against some 70 year old men and a couple quadriplegics to get the Tyson faithful frothing at the mouth again. It would be hard NOT to believe that.

What up KNOX! Anyway, I got the PPV for free... so I wasn't as pissed as I would have been had I payed. Whats goin on bro? I completely understand what you're talking about. BTW on a side note, I still laugh every time I think of Tyson asking the ref to help him up.

I'm shocked 250,000 actually bought that card. If I didn't get to see it for free, no way in hell would I pay for it. What up KNOX! Anyway, I got the PPV for free... so I wasn't as pissed as I would have been had I payed.

Tyson would not sell 250,000 ppv's again... EVER. It's over for mike, he robbed 20,000 people in attendance and 250,000 ppv buyers of a proper ending to a fight because he didn't want to take his beating. Hell Mike even admitted that, he wanted to give all of the fans money back. Williams vs Tyson pulled in 150k this one did better because he was fighting a white guy.

He made it clear that the oinly reson why he was there to get some money and he said that he didint have his heart in the sport for a long time, the smart people like me should have known not too throw away 40 or 50 bux on this stupid fight and Im glad I didint order this shit..

That's incredible. Why retire when you can generate numbers like that? They should send Tyson on an 80's greatest hits parade, and line up guys like David Jaco, Sammy Scaff, Donnie Long and Michael Johnson (if they're still alive and at least able to walk). I'm convinced people would pay to watch those fights.
