    Remember the crazy parachutist in the Bowe/Holyfield II? LOL

    It's on ESPN Classic right now. I remember watching this on TV with my dad as a kid and I had no idea what the hell was going on.

      guy was just a stunt man/hang glider. wanted to make a spectacular, attention whoring appearance at one of the best title fights ever. he ended up getting dusted by Jason, Bowe security, with a Zack Morris cell phone.

      he recently killed himself in alaska i believe.

        The guy was also arrested in 1994 for flying into the stadium during the Raiders/Broncos game. He was also arrested in the UK doing something similar in a soccer (football) match. He was known as the Fan Man, he did a lot of these stunts for attention.

        It's funny how he got beat the fuck up at the Holyfield fight .

              He was called the Fanman. Those that remember also remember Bowe's entourage beating him senseless(you don't see it in that video). The Fanman liked to drop in on sporting events and that day he chose the wrong one. I heard the guy died awhile back.


              Note: Bowe, who was doing good in the fight up to that part had some issues after it. His pregnant wife had to be taken by paramedics to the hospital because of the fan man's antics and Bowe had to finish the fight not knowing if his wife and unborn child were alright.

                  Yeah the most bizarre thing to happen in a Boxing match. I remember seeing the fans beating the **** into him for landing there. Crazy stuff lol.
