There should always be a place in boxing for Mike.

100% couldnt agree more

Tyson has some sons, is no one of them boxing? An Tyson Jr. would be famous from the first time he enters the ring.
But first of all i really like tyson is back in the sport himself! He knows boxing and im sure he can see if a fighter has some potential or not.

Interesting! Mike always seemed against doing a promotional company before, I wonder what changed his mind? Perhaps his experience with promoting his show has led him to believe that he can be successful at promoting events. I hope he and Acquinity Sports can build this up to be a successful venture, people definitely show up to see Mike Tyson so they can certainly go places. Plus I am sure that there are some heavyweights that would love to sign with his team.

Tyson knows his stuff in the ring, should be a trainer/manager instead
don't think Tyson has the business head to be a big promoter
still, happy to see him give it a try at least
would be thrilled if Tyson ended up with a champion under his banner
and Mike is way more likeable than Shaw, Oscar, Arum, Goosen, etc

Tyson doesn't have to have the "business head" to be a big promoter, he just has to have smart people around him to guide him. Lets be real, De La Hoya doesn't have it either, but he has a smart man in Richard Schaeffer running everything. The Aquinity Sports guys sounds like they might possibly have the business saavy to help him take his company to the top.
