: Yet he is Allowed to box in other states, so why ruin the opportunity for Vegas to cash in on him????
It's not about money. they don't allow dog fights in vegas either. it's the noble thing to do... maintain the integrity of the sport. Mike Tyson should not be allowed to punch people for money anymore. anywhere. By the vegas gaming commission (or whoever the hell was in charge of that decision...) denying his license, they are saying "this isn't mortal kombat, nobody is allowed to use their fatalities. we want a clean fight."
and i respect that. and i hope all the other potential venues respect that. tyson does not have control. lennox lewis would be stupid to get into the ring with him... just like he'd be stupid to taunt a rabid dog.
if tyson wants to bite people, he should join the Ultimate Fighting League or whatever the fuck that crime against humanity is called...
