Vanhalen 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2004 Does anyone care about Tyson any more, theyve been showing the PPV adverts a lot, but ever since Lewis destroyed him(which I'd always hoped for), I have no interest in watching him again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmy no nose 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2004 HBO is definitely not carrying it. Mike is a Showtime fighter still. I will most likely be seeing it at a friend's house who will be getting it for free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alro 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2004 Last I heard, Freedom Hall is only a 1/3 sold out. One of the local news programs mentioned that there is a slight possibility that the fight will be blacked out in Louisville. Â The same station had an interview with the promoter who said they are hoping to attract some last minute buyers with their recent promotion. There is a tractor trailer advertising the fight sitting in Slugger Field's parking lot. Tyson, Laila Ali (who may be just as big of a draw as Tyson in Louisville) and some of the other undercard fighters had an open workout at 4th Street Live! (Louisville's new entertainment complex). They are promoting the hell out of the fight, but I'll be surprised if the arena is half full. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Staravenger Report post Posted July 28, 2004 It's "Showtime PPV" so it won't be on HBO. I predict though by next weekend Showtime will air it. I can't think of many times (if any) when a big fight on PPV is not rebroadcasted on HBO/Showtime a week or so later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics Report post Posted July 28, 2004 Last I heard, Freedom Hall is only a 1/3 sold out. One of the local news programs mentioned that there is a slight possibility that the fight will be blacked out in Louisville.  Did it used to be call "French Hall" by any chance?  Does anyone know what time he's due on UK time? The programme is advertised as starting at 11, so does that mean tyson at about 2 or 3am? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2004 I'll go with Skip Bayless on Mike Tyson in agreeing he is probably the biggest con artist Boxing has ever seen(well besides Don King) What has the guy done in the last 10-12 years to actually make people think he is a heavyweight threat? Yes, he had some impressive KO's early in his career, but a lot of those guys were over-the-hill (SPinks, Holmes) and once Tyson lost that first fight, he has basically been all hype and no bite. Tyson, go away...please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2004 Tyson was the only boxer to ever beat Spinks. Larry Holmes boxed ten more years after the Tyson bout, and Tyson is still the only person who ever knocked out Holmes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
