Hadda wake up early for this one

I never watched the earlier circus matches like Mayweather/McGregor or KSI/Paul/TommyFury

But this is Tyson
58, or 88… is Tyson.

The man need the money so hopefully win win if he send that fool back to YouTube and collect a payday too.

My boys telling me bout dat and sending me link and ting, but I jus chupes and reply 'ok' yes !! I witnessed the 4 kings with my dad from the early 80s then men like young Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe, Jones to name a notable few ! Our local men were serious also Leslie Stewart, Claude Noel etc.

Even the great white hopes of the past and Morrison were better to watch than the nonsense freakshows today ! Having said that I'm glad Mike could get a good payday so I'm all for that but I can't watch that nonsense..

Yes, Tyson got a big payday and fortunately he will keep most of his money as Don King was not involved.

Not sure, but it will give him a comfortable living for the rest of the life, I am quoting a reporter here. In this regard, I am happy for Mike.

By today's standards not much $20M but it should make him secure

'Twas a fraud start to finish, poor Mike is far less than even a shadow himself. While he took some punishment well andvhad avg to fairly good defense he only scored18 punches in 16 minutes/2mins×8 rounds of boxing. Some of those were databases. Crowd and fans were relieved it ended and he wasn't knocked out nor killed

Tyson's three political heroes are Che Guevara, Mao Zedong and Donald Trump.

Tyson’s job in life isn’t to be the contemporary philosopher and endorse who is 49% and who is 51%.

Everybody has a right to an opinion
To have an opinion you must be able to withstand the backlash

Tyson's contribution to contemporary thought appears to be restricted to the dictum: Everybody has a plan till they get punched in the mouth. It suggests he may have been a student of the Prussian Field Marshal Helmuth von Moltke the Elder.

Exactly, THAT is what he brings. Inspired or in awe of Ali, he would naturally attempt to channel some of that ability.

I’m the best ever. I’m the most brutal, vicious, and most ruthless champion there’s ever been. There’s no one can stop me,”…

“I’m Alexander. …. I’m the best ever. There’s never been anybody as ruthless. I’m Sonny Liston. I’m Jack Dempsey. There’s no one like me. I’m from their cloth. There’s no one that can match me.

My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable. And I’m just ferocious.
