Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson Wants KO in Next Fight, Admits He Held Back With Jones

I don’t mind the exhibitions but think it’s crazy how Mike at 50 plus years old, generates more interest among fans than any current boxing star does. Can’t help but realize that boxing is in a bad spot if fans still crave to watch someone who was a star in the late 80s more than they want to watch a current star in their prime.

The stars of this boxing era, don't fight against each other. That's a big difference.

Then I guess he is not fighting Holyfield next

Before the fight.......I will be looking for the KO right from the first bell

After the fight.......I really didn't want to knock anybody out

And yet UFC fighters make a fraction of what boxers do, even for those irrelevant belts.

who really gives a damn. it's about the product

Mike is an icon. You don't stop being an icon after you stop what made you an icon. Same with May. Of course whatever they do will grab attention and $$$$. Some people never got to see Mike throw hands live and figure these meaningless exhi fights will have to do.

If Mike wants a real KO, only one way to get it. He would be free to let loose.

I understand why these exhibitions are popular and don’t mind that they are, but for them to be more popular than anything a current star can put out is what’s baffling to me and shows a lack of true star power from this current generation.

I sense a future Tyson v Mayweather exhibition, would be the highest grossing PPV of all time.

''Popular'' is a key word. These new rappers and pop singers are also ''popular'' and outsell legit musical acts.

Again, It's Mike Tyson. Who in the world hasn't at least heard of him ?!?!?!?

it was a crappy fake fixed fight, with that weird looking dog character with pre-recording rap songs, smoking weed..
fake crowd noise too

That's the problem. People think its a real fight.
