...Finkel and Tyson wound up with Williams because they were too cheap to pay McBride decent money. I wonder how many lost millions that short-term savings of $100,000 translates to?

yeh,what a twat shelly must feel wait til tyson realises that

I was thinking the same thing....

If I had been in charge of Tyson I would have got him fighting the likes of McBride every 6 weeks for 6 months or so, even low key cards, back to how he started off.

Let him put together 6/7 early ko's, build confidence, stay in the gym e.t.c then move up a gear.

I guess it shows the management weren't at all confident of keeping him in the gym and on the straight and narrow.

True, but they did see Williams as a walkover.
