Comments Thread For: Team Holyfield: Mike Tyson Rejected $25 Million Guarantee For Trilogy

[IronDanHamza]

So Holyfield couldn't fight for $25,000,000 in his hey day but can suddenly guarantee that as a 60 year old?

Evander Holyfield was one of the highest earners in Boxing in his day and made over $200 million in his career.

He’s the B side to Mike Tyson obviously but it’s not like he wasn’t a big PPV seller in his day.

Holyfield team sounds like they are feeling themselves too much. For one, they are in no position to be making any offers. They should pretty much sit tight and wait on offers from Team Tyson afterall he's the one who has some relevance especially in light of his last exhibition. Holy really trying to get a get out of financial trouble jail card with this fight. They are the one doing all the yapping (more like begging) with basically nothing to stand on.

Nothing to stand on... other than the fact that he kicked Tyson's ass twice. Just that little fact.

I think a lot of this probably has to do with Tyson's issues with Triller.
If he is having disagreements with them around the Jones purse and they're sending out letters that they have the rights to his next fight, he may not be free right now to accept.

Evan Fields is already 2-0 up on Mike Tyson, I'd prefer to see him try and level the score to 2-2 vs Bowe.

why is this even news?

[champion4ever]

Hot damn! $25 Mil is a lot of money for an exhibition bout between two middle aged washed outs.

I don't believe it is a fight Tyson can win. He knows it.

If they offering Tyson 25million, I’d be interested in what they plan on paying Holyfield. It comes down to either Tyson doesn’t want the fight because the mental edge goes to Holyfield, or he wants more money. Either way Tyson deserves the lion share completely, 80/20 split because Holyfield cannot even breath without mike right now and he’s very desperate.

You have sadistic tendencies. Have you seen Rid**** Bowe lately? He is more punch-******ed than James Toney.
