Yes ... I did. I didn't like it .
Floyed holding his guard up looking for defensive for entire fight until Mcgregor got tired.
Floyed basically didn't nothing half of the fight, and made MMA mcgregor look very solid.

That was a celebrity seniors tour fight.
A good one surprisingly.
If boxing can help make those then full steam ahead.

Holyfield v Tyson 3
Does it sell more than Jones Jr v Tyson, probably.

Don’t know when it is but I am very hyped. Here’s hoping it’s soon and ppv

The existence of the rumours about Tyson and Holyfield considering a body-spar-style paid exhibition against each other each other are true.

However, the rumours claiming the actual existence of an agreed deal between Tyson and Holyfield are false.

At this point in time, Holyfield and Tyson isn't going to happen, but that might change if both parties can agree terms.

If this farcical circus event style exhibition happens later on this year, then Holyfield will be on the cusp of turning 59 years of age.

Evander looked tragically bad a decade ago against Brian Nielsen and Sherman Williams.

He isn’t going to remotely resemble ‘The Real Deal’ against Tyson.

I won’t pay to watch the exhibition, but I’ll probably see it at some point via YouTube (out of sheer morbid curiosity).

That said, even though I’m a “hater” of these veteran events, I just hope both guys have fun, stay healthy and pocket a huge retirement fund payday.

Complete con the whole thing, Floyd had clearly agreed to carry McGregor for at least 8-10 rounds. He's said himself openly he could have got him out of there well before that. He could have fucked him up in minutes like that little Jap but this was a big-time event not some mickey-mouse exhibition and he was clearly under orders to make it last.

Haha i wouldn't bother. At the time i had a mate who was an MMA fan and was absolutely certain Conor was going beat Floyd. I tried telling him you are insane but to no avail. Even afterwards he thought Conor lost because he gassed out. Nothing to do with not being able to actually box. Delusional.

It keeps popping up on my newsfeed.

One day, Tyson's demands are too much and he's running scared and the fight that was never on is off; the next day, it's all signed and sealed for May.

Holyfield v Tyson 3

It will sell even more.

Many casuals think Tyson looked good and he certainly looks the part physically.

Holyfield also looks good physically, although to be fair, he's never been out of shape in his life.

With their history, a lot of people will be interested.

I think it will have a massive buy rate . I was convinced that Tyson-Roy Jones would tank on its buy rate and I couldn't have been more wrong. I'd only buy this if full blast head shots are allowed.

Holyfield vs Tyson 3 needs to have one of them internet dingleberries on the card or it won't sell as well as Tyson vs Jones.

I won't be interested in it regardless as I assume it'll be an Exhibition bout.
