    Tyson vs Jones, why is it an exhibition?

    Is it a case of they can't get licenses?

    I'm sure some state would license them.

    I'm seeing a lot of big talk but the fact it's an exhibition means I'm worried we are getting lead up the primrose path.

    I want to see Roy Jones Jr get ktfo by old man Tyson

    They'd have to agree to all boxing protocols.. drugs tests etc.. it's a certain fail from the start...

    People will pay to watch Tyson play tiddlywinks so roll out an exhibition and take the kiddies pocket money...

    I fear it will be a PPV success and it will grow into a full blown travelling circus over the next couple of years...

      Because that’s all it is, an exhibition, not a fight

      Anyone expecting a fight is deluding themselves

        ... maybe because these old guys are truthful, in some extent...

          I think if it's an exhibition they might not have to take drug tests, which imo is the only way for 2 50 year olds to be able to get in shape that would allow them to put on a decent 8 round fight. You let these oldheads juice up with the natural ability and fundamentals they have and you can see some real good stuff. It would be like they found the fountain of youth.

              What if Roy does something that makes Tyson mad and he starts going for the KO....that would be hilarious. Tyson is aggressive minded by nature and very unpredictable, that's for sure.

                Tyson will probably be stoned out of his head.

                  Yeah, they will end the whole with a rap duo or something in the post-exhibition interview.

                    The fighters don't think it is an exhibition. Tyson just said he would try to KO Jones so it is not a take it easy type exhibition. It's a fight and everybody is making money including the fighters.
