Quit trolling dude. Holyfield should be a world title holder right now, save a few blind judges.

At least Botha is pretty low risk for him.

[WESS]

Considering he can fight in the U.S., fight a "creditable" HW (only lost to 4 top HW's) and earn a pay day isn't all that bad. At lest he can prove or attempt to prove he can still fight. He already did in my books when he beat the giant bum but lost to the judges. He's old but that's not a big deal in today's HW era.

I mean do the research, this is a "set up" for more things to come. Holyfield vs Tyson III (I swear I'm not making that up). It will happen in 2011 after Tyson gets a "warm up" fight(s) this year.

Overall, much respect to both Tyson and Holyfield!

theres no point in holding it in las vegas. Anyone with any common sense knows it wont sell on ppv. Had they held it internationally in a place that usually sees no stars he coulda made millions.

Then I don't want to know what Botha is making fighting Abell...or even with Evander.

At least them fighting eachother won't hurt either.

That wouldn't cover **** in terms of his expenses/debt.

I feel bad for shot boxers with money problems.

Is he enough of a personality to make decent money without fighting?

[bbwoof2000]

Only $150000.00? D@mn. After fighting many fights for multimillions dollars Holyfield has been reduced to this? Well.....I can't feel sorry for the dude. He should have managed his money more carefully, and he should have worn protection to keep from making all those babies. From millions for a fight to 150 grand. He can't fall much lower that this. Maybe he'll quit boxing and file for bankruptcy should he lose. And at 46 and with no George Foreman power he just might lose.

I don't feel bad, no one felt bad for me when I had money problems..
