December 21, 2005 - Yesterday evening reliable sources informed ********** that light heavyweight king Antonio "The Magic Man" Tarver was demanding a 50-50 purse split for a PPV showdown against former undisputed heavyweight champion "Iron" Mike Tyson. At first we didn't believe the information to be accurate, however, a quick phone call to Tarver confirmed his demands. "Why I would take anything less? It's 50-50 or there's no fight, I'm not taking any more shorts and 50-50 is a fair offer," said Tarver. ********** understands that Tyson would have likely been willing to move forward under a 60-40 split in favor of Tyson. If Tarver's position doesn't change, the chances of Tyson-Tarver ever coming off look grim. Tyson was unavailable for immediate comment, but we plan on speaking with him shortly to see what he has to say about Tarver demanding parity.


Tarver is not the draw an he always wants 2 be, lol he's ****** 4 takin this fight anyway, Tyson should definatly get 60-40 an Tarver will still have the biggest payday of his career.

wh shoul dTarver take anything less than 50/50 he is a winner tyson is an over the hill, highly overrated, loser. Tyson quit in his last 2 fights, he should be happy he's even getting a shot at tarver. How can you say Tarver is scared, he making the offer.

because tyson is the draw he take 60-40 it still be the most traver has ever got but he should be fighting lightouts that would be a better fight

Well, false. Tyson is a heavyweight, is the biggest draw in boxing still, and when you fight guys like him and De La Hoya you are doing it for money. Therefore, when you "challenge" Tyson and then say you'll only fight hm for 50-50 that makes you look like a *****. Tarver would get millions even at a 70-30 split.

Basically, if Tarver thinks he should get 50-50, he can just stay at home. He issued the challenge, not Tyson.
