Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson Points To Holyfield's Team as Trilogy Roadblock

This. Definitely Toney - for the love of Sweet Science. Than Holyfield - for the general public.

Toney is too far out of shape. Golota is fit. Lights out has to get in shape, it could take six months.

what did Roy get?

According to Dan Rafael and The Sun, $1m was guaranteed to each, and rest of the purse depended on PPV sales. Media estimates are that Tyson got $10m, and RJJ got $3m of PPV sales.

Toney sure has some 25kg of excess weight, but he’s light sparring regularly. He still got the moves.

I’m sure they made some money, but Tyson isn't as broke as he was in years past. He’s had a lot of business ventures. Don’t forget he had his 1 man show a few years ago. He has his promotional company Iron Mike Productions.

I’m sure me pockets cash for every public appearance he makes, which I’m sure is quite often since he is very recognizable still.

I don’t know how RJJ is these days, but I can’t imagine it’s terrible. I’m sure he made decent money when he was commentating for HBO.

Roy was certainly having money issues. He lost a lot of money through your typical bad investments. He made good money during his career, but he did not make Oscar De La Hoya or Floyd money. He had very few ppv fights he mainly got his fortune (now gone) from fighting low risk opponents on HBO for about $2 million maybe sometimes $3million.

I give it to Mike Tyson. He has found his promotional niche whether. He laces up a pair of gloves of not. He can make everybody a retirement check. Kudos to Mike! Now look how much we’re paying for the Mike Tyson Sago aka Mike Tyson Story 😳

$1million I think was reported.

If Holyfield wanted to do this for charity then why is he asking for $25 million? Does he still think he and Mike are in their primes and it is 1996? Holyfield's demands are the most insane, out of touch, irrational demands in boxing. Almost as bad as Spence and Crawford's demands.

Holyfield is bidding himself out of the fight. Mike has plenty of other options. Such as Andrew Golota.

Thanks. Someone told me they heard on espn yesterday each got $10m?

Toney has to get in shape to do this, he could be good for summer or fall. But Golota is the best option right now. People miss Golota and would love to see him back in the spotlight. Who knows what this unpredictable mad genius will do next?!
