Mike tyson bet a load of money for mcbride to beat him

well hes already old and tired. how come its ok for all the other fighters like Ali and Holyfield to get old and washed up but not ok for Tyson. He simply was the best ever between 1985 and 1989. dont believe me watch the old tapes from back then. no one in history matched his skills when he was in his prime. he would have knocked Ali silly if they fought in there primes. ali would have did to tyson what douglass did, even worse.

Throughout the history of boxing fights have been fixed because fighters have 2 common flaws that allow them to be victimized They are STUPID and BROKE Mike Tyson was both of these things, that much is for certain. Mike Tyson, being stupid, was not smart enough to fix his own fight. certainly the gestapo was on the watchout for foul play from team tyson too. If it were fixed it was done just like always.... somebody who is SMART and RICH pays mike to lose so he can make money betting on it. the fighter always gains a lot less than those who really fix the fight, and he always loses a lot more.

Ya gotta love how some use the "Fix" excuse to keep Tyson in a hero or unbeatable status. All it does is make his reputation even worse. If he did fix his own fight it makes him an even bigger POS.

Every Tyson loss has been a fix. No way Mike ever loses for real. Don't you think it is true? (j/k)

Inside the ring, it's always up to Mike. He's so generous, he has now allowed 5 guys to knock him the f*ck out. The heavyweight division dreads the day when Mike decides to WIN.... All he needs to do, besides get back with Rooney, is to trade that stubby-ass body for a bigger one.....& fill that empty hole where his heart should be.. & then he shall re-conquer the boxing world ! :haha:......

Every Tyson loss has been a fix. No way Mike ever loses for real. If he loses a fight when he's 63 years old...still a damn fix. LMFAO....... oh....and bump!

how can people still be talking about this? It's almost to ridiculous for words..

I'm speaking in general, chief. If he wanted to beat McBride, he would've tried, simple as that. well hes already old and tired. how come its ok for all the other fighters like Ali and Holyfield to get old and washed up but not ok for Tyson.

hey moron I said 'it could be true', that means maybe. I'm speaking in general, chief. If he wanted to beat McBride, he would've tried, simple as that.

I know it might sound like bullshit but tyson is skint but how come all of sudden he has money to live the high life again . What were the odds for mcbride to beat tyson ? . He was broke already had nothing to bet with.

Well, I've finally found the brain-washed moron of the boards, Mike Tyson, Jr. It absolutely amazes me at the amount of hype and marketing that you've believed in regards to Tyson. I strongly suggest you broaden your horizons in regards to boxing. I'd also suggest that next time someone posts a thread like this, you avoid it like the plague. I'll run out of adjectives to describe your boxing knowledge, or lack thereof, in a short time. Dear God. hey moron I said 'it could be true', that means maybe.

fuck me am i one of the few sane tyson fans here, throwing fights my arse no half decent fighter would do that, tyson would never be that desperate, he had ago vs mcbride but he was still there when he shouldn't of been and tyson thought fuck it i've had enough, he was out of shape a little bit for douglas only a little bodywise but mentally he wasn't their but who's fault is that, even though i believe he would of beat douglas if they ever fought again that, that night and every night ty has lost has been fair and square, fuck me why can't people accept that, when he's been beat he's been beat

you know tyson could have beat that guy if he wanted to. Inside the ring, it's always up to Mike. He's so generous, he has now allowed 5 guys to knock him the f*ck out.

I made money on McBribe, but don't remember exactly how much. It was a gamble but at those kind of odds and the fact that he was 6'6 tall I thought it was an educated gamble.

well, if the odds were ONLY 4-1, that means Tyson would need a SHITLOAD of money, put down, to get a big payoff. If he's broke, he doesn't have the money to put down. Dumb shit, from some dumb shit Tyson-loonies. Actually, at the place I bet it was 5.5-1 My dad right before the fight said just put $10 on McBride, and I said, "NO!!!! THERE IS NO WAY I COULD WIN!" I should've listened to him....:(

Dumb shit, from some dumb shit Tyson-loonies. If he got a wall street investor and told him "I'm throwing the fight, give me a cut for this info", I'm sure that there would be a ton of people who would throw money on decent odds like that.
