Comments Thread For: Ryabinskiy Approached To Stage Tyson-Holyfield III

Not a chance to happen - there is no chance this "promoter" will give letters of credit ( advance guarantees ) to Tyson and Evander that total 25 million dollars, or more! Neither fighter will walk into the ring unless there is big money already in their accounts. I don't blame them - would you trust this "promoter." In Russia no less!

Do your research. This is the guy who paid $20 mln for Wlad hugging Povetkin for 12 rounds out of his own pocket. And he put the money in an escrow account upfront. I am sure he can afford Holyfield - Tyson III.

Both guys should just enjoy the life of a retired ATG.

No, he really shouldn't, if he has any self respect.

You can't pay the bills with self respect...millions of dollars buys a retirement. At some point his one man show will go stale...then what?

I don't really know just how much these two retired greats "need" the money. One thing I'm sure neither they nor boxing needs, is the shame of exploiting themselves for some clown's idea of entertainment.

I don't know where you have been but they both went bankrupt. Holyfield's house/assets...even his memorabilia were auctioned off. Why do you think he's still been boxing all these years. He sells barbeque sauce these days. And Tyson went bankrupt along time ago.

I really hope this this fight does not happen - but Mike is still in so much debt that his hand might be forced especially if the amount on offer gets rid of his debt.
