Tyson did an interview saying he wants to do a bunch of these for charity with past fighters and even guys like fury/Joshua/wilder

Charity is one thing, if its a legit fight, he will go down. At his age, 3 minute rounds will tear him a new one against fighter much younger than him.

Yeah exhibitions is a good idea could set up a decent card and do it well

I dont mind the exhibitions but there is a point where the audience will fatigue from it.

Tyson will eventually need to have a legit fight someone decent for big pay day, be it Holyfield?

More meant exhibition against current fighters

For a real fight it would have to be at an Indian casino like bellator and let them get on the juice

I think mike is smart . He’s looking for a real fight . He held back ..

He can draw attention just in his name but boxing cards are shit 70% of the time.

Put him on at a sold out Wembly under Fury/Joshua I say.

Any young fighter would be stoked to get that gig.

Throw in Tank v Garcia and you have an Olympic level event.

Tyson/Holyfield probably looking for one massive final pay day as boxers.

If they get the timing of the fight right where people can attend in a packed stadium it would be epic.

Be epic until the bell rings and everyone realizes they've been conned again haha. Sunday's "fight" was fun but it doesn't need to happen again either. I don't even think ill watch another Tyson exhibition tbh.

AJ/Jury would be making $40M+ by themselves. Adding Tyson on an undercard isn't making sense for promoters economically

It won't add $10M extra buys as everyone who would buy it, is. Young fighters on an AJ card are already getting more eyeballs than they ever have. It doesn't need Tyson IMO. Have to keep these exhibition fights separate

If Tyson is looking for a real fight. Get an 8 rounder together against Chris Lovejoy or a bum like that. It can't be against someone in the top 50, or even 100. Even journeymen like Joey Dawejko have too much for 54 year old Tyson

[the_interloper]

I think Tyson should only be fighting a name of his own age at this point, dont think anyone wants to see him ko'd by an active journeyman boxer.

 

[the_interloper]

Ok and DAZN is available here now gents, 3 bucks a month so it’s a no brainer for mine, Joshua, GGG and Canelo all this month

 

[burge13]

Didn't know that Interloper but that's fantastic. Should be better quality than sailing the high seas!

For anyone interested in the Tyson/RJJ draw bet. It's now been paid out properly rather than a bonus

Very interesting turn of events for the gamblers. All left wondering how SB void markets after results known but it's been fixed. Makes you wonder what they get away with though

 

[burge13]

Justis Huni v Lucas Browne is signed for next year.

Browne isn't what he was but what a step up in your 3rd fight. Sensational he's moving so quickly

Yeah bloody oath. They've got a back catalogue of fights as well, nowhere near like UFC Fight Pass of course, rewatched Mayweather v Hatton this morning. Would be great if they could consolidate all of the old fight libraries, I think Bill Cayton owned a lot? They wouldn't be cheap though.

You got a source for that? Great news if true, Huni is certainly not wasting time (nor should he, he's special from what I've seen)

Top Rank own all the Ali stuff I think? There'd be a real limit to what they can actually source so building from scratch a bit I guess

Ben Damon (boxing manager, commentator and I believe handles the telecast schedule for boxing on fox) on Twitter. Beats Browne easily but will still need careful match-making for a while after that. That doesn't mean can crush like Dubois did but stylistically favourable fights for a while, and some older names.

He's already a better prospect than Ajagba who the yanks have been promoting for a few years now

Yeah I just saw the Damon tweet, exciting stuff! Will be interesting, if he can beat Browne handily might set up a Parker fight, huge risk but then you’re right amongst it for a title shot.

Parker is too much too soon IMO. He's limited for sure but that would be a step up in competition no one has ever done other than Loma fighting for a title on debut? Check Usyk's first 4 pro fights for reference, or even Dubois first 7. Parker in fight 4 would be mental but gee it'd be a breath of fresh air over padding resumes for 6 years before doing anything like so many do

I'm thinking David Price, Nathan Gorman types for a little while tbh. If I had to pick a top guy to fight it'd be Parker though

 

[Macpotata]

will be getting dazn for sure. Awesome.


Spence vs Garcia this week. Not sure if that's on dazn or fox sports for us ( if at all )

Can't wait for Garcia vs Cambell. And the other big named fighters having a crack should be sublime too. Boxing's good again imo. Has been for a while now with several big named fighters working their magic.

Hunt vs Gallen on the under card of Tzsyu also special.

 

[the_interloper]

Huni and Hardman fighting tomorrow night as well, the last card was one of the best local cards I can remember, well matched exciting fights for once.

 

[burge13]

Home in time for the Hardman fight, good timing.

 

[burge13]

Hardman just hitting gloves really, definitely more active early but think he gets broken down fighting like this. Taking shots in tight he wouldn't at range imo

Yeah the British commentator is right, if he stayed on the outside more he'd be winning easy, Singh appears to want a phone booth fight. I was thinking it's a bit like what Jon Jones does often in MMA, he tries to beat the other guys at their own game, wrestlers at wrestling and strikers at striking.

Hardman also getting hit twice as much in close as at distance. Odd strategy. Took a flurry of shots in the 6th as well

Hardman ahead for mine but few rounds left

 

[burge13]

Enjoyed that one. Missed 8 and 9 so cant really score but id say Hardman wins. Main event not far away

Also heard Huni wants Lepai and Browne before Tokyo, not just Browne. Sensational, clears out Australia unless goes to McKeen as well. Overseas 2022
