How did Holyfield do in Celebrity Big Brother

I didn't watch any of it (because of work commitments), and apart from the bit at the start, where he was told off for making homophobic remarks, I've not heard too much since.
I totally disagree with his views on homosexuality -it really should be a non issue if someone is gay or hetrosexual-but that's his opinion and it is reality tv (where people tune in to see what people are like), so should he have been told off?
If people did watch it, how did he come across? I have an image of him being very still and not saying too much.Did he get on with the other housemates?
I ask these questions he was always a big hero of mine growing up. He went in with everyone, and pulled off some truelly great rings

Kicked out after being picked by some cry baby from a boy band and some bunny boiler with big tits.
Easy 50k for the big man.

True but from a PR perspective it might cost him more than that in the long run.

The only bit I saw was that Luisa woman punching his palm. It made her knuckles bleed.

Well he lost out on the pink pound and horse lovers of the world are in a state of shock apart from that he was fine. I wish he'd stayed in a bit longer.

Evander looked uncomfortable from the moment he stepped inside the house; a definite case of a man who was once one of the most famous sports stars on the planet realising that he'd hit the bottom of the proverbial barrel. All rather sad to watch and only Jim Davidson, bless his unfunny arse, was the sole person to treat Evander with a degree of respect and understand exactly who Holy was and what he'd achieved. Hope he got way more than £50K for that ordeal.

He was the only one in there who's actually famous and he went out first, says everything about big brother really.

his views as expressed on BB are ridiculous but I reserve his right to say it. don't know why he is allowed a book in the house - all the others have to do without books for as long as they are in the house (heavy irony). all the viewers at home of course get back to their books as soon as the credits roll.

I'd be surprised if Dappy was actually capable of reading a book.

Holyfield did well, he spent the least possible time in there for the most possible money, must've been a game plan.

Big Brother is the master when it comes to misrepresentation of the facts. Evander did say that he punched his horse when it threw him off 'I was mad, embarrassed, angry'. I took it that he'd hit it without thinking but the edit intimated that he's cruel to animals. I took his views regarding gays as having deeply inborn religious roots not as somebody who would be classed as homophobic in the typical sense of the word. His view, however distasteful to some is one that is shared by many and to admonish him was out of order.

I think we can gather from him having 11 children with six women and three failed marriages that he needs the cash... hasn't he got a mansion/palace with about 25 rooms he lives in?
I saw a couple of episodes because he was in it, but he barely spoke and hardly featured because the cameras were always on that pudendum from Blue and mindless bimbi fighting over him.
I wish Evander was slightly more respectful of the opposite sex so he could have stepped in and given that punk from NDubz a slap when he went off on one about "hoes and bitches"....
It's all horse s***.... he's best off out of there. He didn't seem to have a clue what was going on and that's probably a good thing. Shame he even has to entertain earning a few quid on a show like that.
