    Comments Thread For: Frank Warren on Mike Tyson Entering Promotional Biz

    So Mike Tyson wants to become a boxing promoter? Welcome to the club and good luck!

    The Hall of Fame heavyweight has formed Iron Mike Productions in tandem with business partners Garry Jonas and Henry Rivalta. The Deerfield, Florida based company are primed to stage their debut promotion on 23rd August at the Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York state.

    The former undisputed champion of the world, now 47, enters the market with much in his favour.

    His name alone will be instrumental in generating publicity but will it attract elite young talents to his fold or even established stars?

    Already he has secured the support of US cable TV network ESPN2 to broadcast his inaugural show which shall feature IBF super-featherweight champion Argenis Mendis’ opening defence against Canada’s Arash Usmanee. [Click Here To Read More]

    Hope he does well. Based on the success of his comedy tour, people either don't care or have forgotten about his past issues, and rightfully so.

          You know, something about seeing Frank Warren's ****ty grammar really bugs me. Isn't this supposed to be an educated man? He writes as though he didn't make it past middle school.

              He is not an educated man, his education was the gutter. I very much doubt he finished his schooling.

                Hopefully Mike is successful with this, but I think the odds are against it.
