    Mike Tyson..Fighting for Cash or for Pride?

    It is no secret that Iron Mike is in a spot of debt. but is the primary reason he is fighting again for his pride? He has been finished since Danny Williams, so why continue?

    Pride first, then cash, he wants that one last "WIN". Can't say that I blame him, remember when Larry Holmes TKO'D Ali in 11? Ali fought again after that but lost a 10 round decision to Trevor Berbick, he had to try one more time. All the greats do it. And at his best Tyson was great.

      I agree, but I dont think this tarver fight will go well for Tyson, and i've heard he called for a lewis and danny williams rematch

          Really? I haden't heard that about Lewis. Williams I can understand he was beating his ass for a bit , until
          his knee snapped. Tyson coulda just quit right then and there
          in the first round but he went on.

            I think Tyson is mad this time. He was suppose to get into movies with Rocky VI, that was his big plan for 2006, and Tarver took his roll, and then he calls him out. I think its a combination of Pride and Cash but I really think he is mad at Tarver for ****ing up his movie plans.

              Tyson owes the IRS so much money. The only way he will ever be able to pay them off is to fight. Please don't try and sell this fight as a pride issue, a Light Heavyweight called him out.
