Tyson is a loooong way from broke. Yeah. But this is the campfire. He was worth 400 million, now he's down to 10 million. I learn new stuff every day on the campfire. Just today I learned that Kennedy was killed by the Jews; planes never ACTUALLY hit the World Trade Center; and $10 million is broke. Enlightening. I never said he was broke ???

I've been trying to find out how many rounds it's scheduled for. While I've failed to find that, I've picked up a couple other things.
Netflix is steaming it to all of their subscribers, no extra cost.
It's supposed to be a real sanctioned fight, not an exhibition like Tyson's last one.
The rumors of 18oz gloves and headgear are false. They'll use standard 10 oz gloves and be bareheaded.

That guy fighting him must be a little worried.
I might get Netflix again (for a month) just to watch it.

Rocky Marciano would have knocked his ass out in the first round!! That has to be one of the most "Boomer" things posted here !! LOL !!! For sure. Like him or not, Iron Mike is arguably the best boxer of all time Arguably Evander Holyfield beat him twice when both were in their prime.

I think it depends on how he’s trained and his mindset.
And I don’t know how he has been training. But he could have the endurance. Look at ultramarathoners…….many in their 50s-60s
Leon Spinks went in to win the title with a “it’s a good day to die” mindset.
Carmen Basillio was walking down the street in NYC as welterweight champ and sees Middleweight champ Sugar Ray walking towards him with his entourage.
Carmen put his hand out “champ to champ”.
Robinson snubbed him and his wife Josephine……. Carmen was a family man.
Carmen said to his wife” Honey. That was wrong. I’m gonna go up a weightclass and beat his ass”
Had that mindset.

One of the reasons why Tyson won so often is that his opponents were PETRIFIED of him even before the fight started. And they had every reason to be lol
Not a good way to go into a fight. Scared schidtless. They'd be like, wait guys, I need to change my underwear!!! Do you remember the Spinks fight? I think he was looking for the soft spot to land when he crawled thru the ropes. Tyson was an amazing fighter in his prime. Not the greatest boxer, but arguably the greatest fighter.

You guys all think this will be a legit straight up fight?
I am making a WAG here and saying Mike is getting a serious payday to either let Paul win or go easy and take it to a decision.
Don't trust the Pauls one bit. And I don't think Tyson is above making a deal ^ thats the safest money in all this. Hope tyson wins, pauls both suck.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

I have my doubts about how serious this fight will be
that said, while Joe Rogan believes Tyson will hold his own, Dana White has some concerns.
Dana is saying he wouldn't want Mike to do it, but its none of his business
D'Amato dying early in Tyson's career was the worst thing to happen to him. D'Amato said that women were going to be Tyson's downfall, he was right. Between Robin Givens and Desiree Washington, he didn't have a chance.
