How was Tyson/Lewis turned down by Nevada on moral grounds???

[markkerr101]

What was the reasoning behind Nevada turning down Tyson/Lewis on moral grounds? Anybody know?

Also I believe NY turned them down also.


Anything?

i dont recall exactly....but i believe it had somethin to do with the backlash of tyson going bat**** crazy during interviews and press conferences.

After the Tyson-Orlin Norris bout the Nevada commission told Tyson to "take his show on the road" literaly! After being almost disqualified for hitting Norris when he was down and all the other things Tyson pulled over the years they didn't want him to fight there any more.

Now it also possible with Tyson being so far past his best years they didn't want it but I believe that first reason was the main issue.

Probably cuz Mike was crazy...idk

It was Tyson and his antics, I think the last straw was that press conference where he bit Lewis' leg and started going off on a reporter.
