Completely agree with Rooney. He's one of the few trainers who cares about the fighters as opposed to filling his pocket with money. Had Tyson stuck with him, he would have never been sent to jail, would have likely retired undefeated and been proclaimed boxing's GOAT above Ali and others.

Believe me, Rooney missed the money more than he missed Mike Tyson.

Obviously Rooney would love the money too as any normal person would(and I wouldn''t be able to understand someone criticizing him for it as they would most likely be hypocrites), but don't act like he didn't actually care about Mike Tyson himself either because of that. So again, the only way you can know for sure is if you knew these people personally and you were there back then as well, which you weren't so have some more class.

This is a reminder to me that even after all those years, there are boxing fans and there are Tyson fans.
