In Reply to: Not giving Tyson his licence... Agree? or Disagree posted by Hov on January 30, 2002 at 07:41:24:
: 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?
: cheers
