mike needs the money

Well, if Mike fighting helps a televison network get Pride fighting back on the air in Japan for another contract......then, IMO, MIke should be paid a percentage until the contract runs out.....

How much is he still in debt, anybody know?

It sucks being Mike because if he was a rich white guy he would be in one of those tennis court prisons if he didn't want to pay back his taxes.

Was trying to post it for a while...here is my text:

Reported by ESPN, Mike Tyson is going to face his longtime sparring partner Corey Sanders (23-10) in what is set to be a worldwide exhibition tour. There are also reports surfucting that Mike Tyson will be fighting in China, Mucau specifically, as part of his exhibition tour. Mucau, a growing vacation and casino spot, might be a great spot for Mike Tyson to make his return due to him being banned from Japan because of being convicted of a felony. Mike Tyson recently signed with DSE, owners of Pride FC, to help promote "The Real Deal" Las Vegas event, and there were rumors for months of him making a comeback to fight in China. His fight in Macau, shall it happen, will take place on New Years Eve. More so, he will face a Pride FC fighter that night.

Why Pride, aren't UFC guys easier?

Pride is actually going to be paying Tyson, UFC fighters, a majority of them, are still earning less than $100,000 a fight, a great ammount less than $10,000.

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.

It's official, been all over the web and news.

Plus Pride is more stand up than UFC..generally speaking

Yes, I just read a report on ESPN.com confirming an exhibition bout against former sparring partner and 'Maskaev conquerer' Corey T-Rex Sanders.

I always had a feeling that Mike would get forced into fighting again to settle his debts. I just hope he 'tries' when it comes to fighting and just isn't in there to put on a show.
