In all seriousness, anybody who know anything about boxing knew what to expect from this affair. It's an exhibition, not a real fight. Mike's not coming back; he knows his career is over. He also knows he's badly in debt and needs to make some cash and this is the way to do it. Most of the old-time champs fought exhibitions, which is just a chance for their fans to see them in the ring.....kind of like seeing The Eagles, The Temptations, The Who, or The Stones on tour, now. Well, maybe not the Stones 'cause they're still writing new material; but you get the idea. It's a tradition as old as the sport: retired champ who needs money does the only thing he really knows how to do to earn some cash. Jack Johnson fought exhibitions into his 60's. Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali fougth exhibitions....and now Tyson is.
It is what it is...a show, not a fight. Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't know **** from shinola.Comment
