    Tyson coming back on New Year's Eve

    Apparently he's fighting some MMA guy from Pride in a Boxing match in China! Check it out...



    "Confirming much speculation inside the fight media, Dream Stage Entertainment have officially announced their plans to have Mike Tyson fight in Macau on New Year's Eve.

    DSE has revealed that their partnership 40 year old former heavyweight boxing champion will be further materialized on December 31st, as they plan to have Tyson compete against a PRIDE fighter in a boxing match, in the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. The locale serves two purposes for DSE: Tyson is unable to compete in Japan due to his felony rapsheet, whilst Macau is one of the world's hottest ******** venues, which could net revenue for DSE abroad.

    DSE representatives say that Tyson's bout will be slotted into the live telecast of Otoko Matsuri, and will be seen by the live crowd at Saitama Super Arena in Japan on the video screens in the arena. It is the goal of DSE to have this year's Otoko Matsuri broadcast worldwide, including mainland China, Africa and the Middle East via internet stream.

    Also, the announcement of Tyson's participation on New Year's Eve may be the key to restoring PRIDE's status on Japanese television. Despite losing their deal with Fuji Television in June, those in the television industry have stated that if DSE were able to get Tyson to fight on New Year's Eve, that Nippon Television and tv asahi would both be interested in acquiring the broadcasting rights for the event. According to broadcasting insiders, Nippon TV would be the frontrunner in acquiring PRIDE's broadcasting rights, due to higher spending power."

        Mike has already been confirmed for a Boxing PPV, 29.99, exhibition bout with Corey "T-Rex" Sanders, I forget the date. They announced it at his world tour press conference.

            The guy is probably the most tragic figure ever to step into a ring.

              With you.

              This is terrible news. Tyson should not fight again. He's been put on his ass more than enough. He seems to have learnt his lesson. His fall has been one of the largest I can think of. I wish he could just rest and lead a relatively normal life now.

              His debt makes him debase himself further for screaming monkeys who don't know better. If this is good news to you, you are sick and ignorant.

                Since his loss to Mcbride, there has been numerous reports that Tyson is "making a comeback," fighting in "four roundas," or even fighting in exhibition bouts.

                However, in all his interviews that I've read he always says how he'll never step foot into the ring again and how he "hates" fighting.

                Point is, I'm not buying this news until I hear something from Mike himself confirming this.

                    agree...plus, have you seen the workout videos, the guy is huffing and puffing just doing simple combos...his stamina has been terrible for a while...he has lacked the fire in his eyes for a while and without that fire, your power is not the same, both in throwing your punch, and taking a punch; no adrenaline, no good, no win.

                    Can't this guy just do commercials, especially in Japan...maybe, hopefully, after a couple of wins by KO, his name can at least boost up again in Japan so that he can quit boxing and do some energy drink commercials...I'd rather see him do cheezy commericals than take anymore shots.

                    What about a book and movie deal: if he negotiates right, he can make buckets of money...I just don't know if he ever wants to do this.
