It's amazing to me that animals like this receive the praise and adoration (and millions upon millions of dollars) of the world when they are one step above savage on the food chain.

Makes me sad...

May not be as cheap as you think.... there is talk about the fight being cancelled because of this!!!!!

It could turn out to be the most expensive fight that either of them have had!!!

I saw it on BBC World.... Tyson came striding across the stage at Lewis, and threw the first punch at one of the minders..... can't beleive that he missed though

People want what they cannot have. If the fight is cancelled the dollars will rise and they will fight sometime later, unless Tyson is in prison for rape / assault again. That bloke is an animal, he should be locked up in a zoo.

After seeing it countless times on ESPN, I don't think this was Tyson's fault. If it is true that both camps had agreed to the staredown that they always seem to happen in these press conferences. Then Lewis's bodyguard had no right to jump in and grab Tyson. Mike had not raised his arms yet in any sort of menancing manner beyond throwing his beret on the floor.

Disclaimer: Tyson is a nut case and will probably go back to jail since they now say they have evidence to support the woman's accusations of rape. This fight was never intended to happen as Mike would never have let it, something would have gone wrong eventually.

To think both guys were estimated to take in $20 million a piece.

I heard on the news that there's serious doubt about Tyson keeping his licence now as his mental state is seriously in question. There was a time when I would have crawled through broken glass to see Tyson despatching opponents in that awesome fashion of his early on in his career. He's now proving himself to be just a bum failing to make the adjustment from coming from the wrong side of the track, despite all his wealth and advantages.......pity!

Lewis has never impressed me in the ring. A technical, percentage fighter who will never entertain as Tyson once did.

Hey at least they fought! Usually by the time Tyson gets to the ring, the fight is so rigged it's pathetic. I hate Mike Tyson. Compare any pre-fight speech by Ali with Tyson's inarticulate ranting. Someone should just break Mike Tyson in the ring so we never have to hear about hiim again.
