I don't believe all of this stuff until it happens. Hopefully he just gives the game up and do something related to boxing without getting in the ring.
Yeah but how much bull**** news has been released about Mike Tyson lately, I won't see it until the fight is set and signed. Are you trying to tell me that in 2 months the fatass Mike Tyson can get back into shape to fight, and they can organize a venue, and sell tickets in time. 1 million dollars Tyson will take?
Until Mike Tyson is laying on his back in a pool of his own blood on the canvas, and the pictures are everywhere you turn, I will always believe he is coming back. Why? Because Iron Mike broke into the mainstream. In a way that only a few fighters in recent memory have. People who know nothing about boxing know who Mike Tyson is- and they all think he's one bad mother. They'll keep watching his fights even after the true boxing crowd is shaking its head. Even after McBride.
Why do I think this? I watch pay-per-view fights at the local winghouse and everyone knew Mike was done even before McBride. Yet when the last Tyson fight was on the place was more packed than it ever is. They were turning people away at the door. They were telling them to go home, that the wait list was four hours long- just to get a seat. Oscar De la Hoya doesn't even sell out the place like that.
So, in Mike's case, even when the fat lady sings I won't believe it's over. Not until that fat lady laces up some gloves and knocks him out herself- leaving him in a pool of blood on the canvas.
