Is Mike Tyson Bettable at 53?

[Heim]

He's going to fight somebody, there is talk of a Tyson Fury fight. Maybe Tito Ortiz in MMA, but he's going to fight. He
has 20 million reasons to.

 

[Heisenberg]

Have there ever been more electric anticipation moments in sports than Tyson walking into the ring during his prime?

20M for an mma fight?

 

[Jammer]

No way he fights MMA, but I am sure he needs the money, so anything is possible. Does anyone really want to see Tyson/Holyfield senoir bout? Would people actually buy that on PPV? Not a bad time for it, considering nothing is going on right now.

 

[MrTop]

i think he is invested in a may jane store somewhere on west coast ???

The beard is a bad luck omen. Poor guy taking lessons from Deion. I'll fade at a decent dog price if available thank you.

He can beat Tito but would be killed vs. Furry,

He can beat Tito but would be killed vs. Furry,

Tito - maybe. I don't know or care

Fury - doubt it. Fury is named after Mike Tyson. Doubt he would wanna do to him what he would normally do to someone like him because of that. Fury would win and my guess is no later than the 7th Round and maybe sooner than that but I doubt he would wanna "kill" his namesake

Tyson has overcome a lot of personal demons to help make himself a better person

I don’t want to see him come back to endure any further personal mental damage

When he lived here in Tempe for a few years there was nothing but glowing stories from people who ran into Tyson in public.

Off hand, nothing comes to mind.

 

[TonyMar]

Comes down to his opponent...
He is at least a two dime favorite against Jericho

[railbird]

depends on odds. Tito vs Tyson, both have better chance than you think in mma and boxing.

He looks great

Until he steps in the ring and gets hit

Even in his prime he was never the best at absorbing a hit and continuing on

I don't desire to see another Willie Mays. If Tyson comes back we just might see that. Sadly

 

[TheGuesser]

He's getting paid pretty good money to almost hit Chris Jericho again, in AEW, like he did 10 years ago in WWE.

In a real fight, against a real fighter with bad intentions? He'll get smoked.
