Comments Thread For: Holyfield Says Negotiations Ongoing For Mike Tyson Trilogy Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former four-time heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, 58-years-old, is in ongoing discussions to face career rival Mike Tyson for a third time. The two boxers collided twice in the 90's. Holyfield, who was a massive underdog at the time, shocked the world when he stopped Tyson in ten rounds in 1996.

Neither should be fighting but both need the $$$ and this does 2 million PPV buys easy imo so good for them!

Is it really considered a trilogy if it's a non-official exhibition?

[MrTyFlex]

Um, Tyson has lost millions... But he's doing more than fine $$ wise now. Holyfield on the other hand...Check your sources before you comment Sir!

Eh probably not, but you sell more PPV's by hyping that angle obviously.

[Drigo]

Make sense. Both are legends who want to make modern viewers happy. Its worth buying for me...

This is an embarrassment to the sport on a few reasons

Let’s just say this, back in the day Holyfield fought my hometown ******** boy Ricky Womack a couple times and Mike and I were both in Nationals together but now at their level they are robbing people of income during a pandemic and fights dictated in a board room. Holyfield himself never needs to fight again due to early signs of dementia and PTSD or head trauma. Is this what we need to do with our legends? If you look at the state of many fighters who fought way to long, the outcome wasn’t good at the end. This is greed and bullsh_t at its best.

No please no, Mike only has so many fights, he should fight a 40 year old fighter, for real.
Just work the way back up the ladder, fight few fights to get momentum, but not Holyfield (who shouldn't fight).
Careful matchmaking and he could make a run, why not?
1.5 million view of a exhibition (not counting the illegal streams), that tells you there is money in a return, but people watch Tyson for KO's.
Holyfield will probably just do what Roy did, but with head butts, Mike will bite again.

Id be into it for sure. Hopefully they make the fight.
