Wonder how much he made Karen must have been a lot to get him to go out there after his bleeding ulcer operation. Liked how you wrote this one.. You haven't been posting lately? Hope your back soon had to go into your archives to read more of you. God bless you.

I would hate to know that I had to earn my money by getting hit by another person. I guess it takes all kinds to keep the world spinning. Thanks for sharing your views about the fight. I heard he won. Sara K

In spirit he won as a 58 year old man. He didn’t get knocked out. But he lost the fight and it was hard to watch.

Well, it ultimately is about the money... yet I think that in this case, Mike Tyson did it for himself as well -- esp. since he had survived a badly bleeding ulcer just this past summer, where he almost died on the operating table! He wound up losing 25 pounds and having to train really hard just to show up for this fight, let alone actually compete, which he did in round one, at least. ~ gw

No he didn’t win. But he wasn’t knocked out or down and stayed on his feet for all 8 rounds. He did from what I understand earn 20 million so there’s that.
