Tyson should've been in jail for a lot longer than he was. Rich guy privilege.

I don't recall whether or not I watched the PPV farce with McNeeley but Indo recall the Pizza Hut commercial where McNeeley was KO'd by a slice of stuffed crust pizza.

During that same comeback, Tyson fought Buster Mathis, Jr. for free on FOX television channel (I think I watched with friends in my college dorm). I remember watching that one and ol' Buster didn't fare any better than McNeeley.

What a s**t show of an event. Lmao

I felt ripped off watching, even though I was only 13 at the time and my parents paid for it.
