Dunno, thought I’d read the whole purpose of the event was to raise money for Covid support or something. Probably dreamt it.

I thought Tyson had gotten rich again through his cannabis businesses. He’s also flying high on Instagram with 13mil followers and a shop etc on there. He will be doing well now. Roy Jones will be skint I’d imagine. Nobody really cares about him anymore, Tyson is still a huge name.

I suspect with one thing and another Mike will have to work hard until he dies just to pay the bills. Nothing wrong with that though. Will keep him focused.

It’s hardly hod carrying, though. He just has to show up in places or write his name.

Yup - there is. No way Mike is doing VADA testing without one!

Think so? I'd fancy my chances against Tyson tbh, i think he's going to look slower than a sloth in the ring, going to be a real sorry sight. Rjj only recently retired, he'd at least beat domestic level cruisers imo.
I wouldn't fancy your chances against Tyson tbh.
Nor would I! :lol:
He might know of a Chinese midget called Tyson :box:

Unbelievable that Tyson got down to 220 considering how big he has been .

That it’s old fighting weight ... obviously body composition is different but still impressive

I pretty sure I read that some donation will be made to BLM - as was the fashion previously; not sure if that's unfashionable now though??

Again - from what I understand Tyson is not the actual owner of his weed-farm; more or less the front man for it, with perks of an income off it .. and all he can smoke.
Last I read Tyson is worth a couple million, and Roy Jones quite a few million more; apparently Jones invested sensibly.

FITE announced pre-orders have been huge and BT have said they doing pro boxing numbers.. whatever that might be.

They always say sh!t like that when trying to sell a PPV. I’ll believe it if they ever release the actual figures.

I’d love that to be the case with Roy Jones. However, why would he have fought all those unnecessary fights if he didn’t need cash?
