He'd be perfect, I think. They should definitely give him a shot and see how it goes. He's more knowledgable about boxing history than probably anyone on the HBO staff other than Lederman, and he might know more than even Harold. He's sat in on a round or two here and there in the past, and I always thought he was very good.
Tyson Wants To Be A Commentator Now...

I'm not sure he could control himself, ... what with all the ring girls between rounds.
Of course, he may try to eat Larry Merchant's ear, too, during the broadcast. Now, I might buy a ppv to see that. lol
Maybe he should do more advising to Zab Judah. He's done a terrific job there.Comment

All joking aside, if anything stops him from being part of the HBO crew it'll be Merchant. Larry doesn't like Tyson at all. He's subtly made that very clear over the past several years.Originally posted by tonertOf course, he may try to eat Larry Merchant's ear, too, during the broadcast.

tython would get HBO boxing a lot better ratings, even if everybody was only watching to see if iron mike would thay somthing crazy or rip off a piece of larry merchant's ear. larry's drunk anyway, he wouldn't even feel it if tython took a bite out of himComment

I know PPL would love to watch Mike on the tube so it couldn't hurt with helping bring some energy to the telecast. I saw an interview with Winky and he said he wanted to sign Mike and get him into some boxing thing's. He said you would be fooled Mike has a great boxing mind and would love to work with him in the near future.Comment

Tyson would be a great commentator. He's extremely knowledgeable about boxing and he knows what he's talking about.Comment

Tyson could take the role James Toney has had on some BDSSP telecasts on FSN. He wouldn't have to be on-air for the duration of the actual fights immediately. I think Showtime should throw some money at him for namepower's sake since they have a 2-man team on both their America's Fight Night show and Showbox, but I'm sure a lesser network than the "Big 2" would be thrilled to have him on board as long as he's not asking for too much money...Comment
