In Reply to: Not giving Tyson his licence... Agree? or Disagree posted by Hov on January 30, 2002 at 07:41:24:
I have always thought Tyson had some serious mental issues and that was reconfrimed when they announced the fight. Tyson steps up on his little box, then Lewis steps up on his, and instantly Tyson rushes him. It seems Tyson doesn't comprehend the "showmanship" of the sport. And, I don't know if this was true or not, but I heard that Tyson tried to bite Lewis and missed and bit his shoe. If that's true then Nevada was even more correct - Tyson can't control himself, biting is NOT a part of boxing.
: The state of Nevada turned down Mike Tyson's appeal to get his licensce back yesterday. I was wondering what everyone thought of this.
: Myself I believe that turning it down was a stupid move. The Lewis Tyson fight would have brought millions of dollars in revenue to Vegas. I mean considering that Tyson is reportedly going to get 17.5 million at least, and a cut of the pay per view revenue, they had to realize how big this fight was going to be and how much revenue it would have generated.
: Silly move on their part. They can say that they did it for the intrguity (yeah spelling error) of the sport; but since in my opinion they will simply move the fight to a city where Tyson is allowed to box, the Nevada boxing commission just lost out on a golden opportunity to boost the Vegas revenue by a huge amount.
: Any other opinions?
