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

[jdp28tx]

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

Why the hell would he bid himself out of an exhibition? Tyson vs Holyfield 3 will not be a real fight as no state would allow it. It would only be an exhibition so there would be no reason for Evander to price himself out. Fighters only price themselves out of real fights that they think they will lose. First, this will not be a real fight. Second, Evander already whipped Tyson twice.

My guess is Evander and his team are totally "out to lunch" in regards to their current worth and physical abilities. Or maybe Evander is just nuts. Such a demand is ridiculous to the public, but to him (who is a bit of a narcissist and has brain damage) such an illogical demand is perfectly logical.

As for Golota, why would Tyson or anyone want a Golota exhibition? No one wants to see Golota and ppv numbers would suffer. Maybe Lewis or Vitali, and Wlad would be interesting for an exhibition. Its too bad Buster Douglas is not healthy enough as it would be the most profitable and the public would really buy into it. Michael Spinks needs the money so maybe he would do it. That would be a strange exhibition.

Holyfield wanting $25m is ridiculous. All roads lead to Mike. I find Tyson vs Holyfield boring to Tyson vs the always unpredictable Golota, anything can happen lol. Closure to their first fight fiasco is needed also.

I beg to differ. I think a lot of people would get excited if Tyson were to make the surprise announcement that Golota is next. Golota instantly provokes excitement, intrigue, wonder because he is such a mysterious unpredictable figure. To see them together again, who knows what can happen? I see Golota as a more interesting opponent than Jones and Holyfield and anyone else actually.

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

As Samok mentioned above, there were guarantees + ppv upside so they're probably getting even more than those figures I quoted.

Tyso sure wasn't doing it for charity!
