You can have a promoter Mike, just not Don King!

Sounds like there are leeches circling around Mike again.

This sounds all over the fooking place. Tyson saying he ain't with Triller. Triller saying they got first rights on Tyson for 2 more fooking years lol. And finally Tyson saying the Real Deal trilogy fight don't need no promoter. Imma go out on a limb & say this ain't going to happen in May.

Also who the fook is looking at Tyson's contracts if he's signing 2.5yr deals at 50 something years old?!?!?! Tyson need to fire that mofo.

Mike doesn't need a promoter as much as he needs a trustworthy agent/manager.

Well said Mike. No fighter of known stature needs to a promoter, that’s the old way

Truer word's were never spoken.
Promoter's along with all the alphabelts absolutely destroy the sport to line they're own pockets.

Mike doesn't sound too pleased with Triller and how they handled the Roy Jones fight, or the finances specifically.

Why would you need a promoter if you are Mike Tyson, a big name or sorting out exhibition fights? You need legal associates, you don’t even need a manager or an adviser, you have your demands, you have legal representation, who can attend meetings and put your stuffs together. Even if you are not educated like most of these boxers, you can still do this.

No, he needs an advisor or manager desperately. Legal representation can make sure a contract will hold up in court, but they aren't going to advise you of whether it makes commercial sense to bind yourself to Triller till 2023...Or if they did, they are becoming an adviser.
