According to this sorurce it looks like it may really happen. I was so hopeful with Mike weighing more now, he had moved on from boxing for good. Obviously its a payday for both. This is very bad news and I hope it turns out to be incorrect.
Tyson and Holyfield to fight in Abu Dhabi - Sport - ArabianBusiness.com
I hate to say it but I would be excited to see this. I know both men are way way past their prime's. But if they are talking bigger than 34 million dollars. That would solve both of their money problems. I for one know I would buy this a PPV. Yes just for the names and who the hell cares. I would like to hear who wouldn't want to see this when it is sign and sealed for Oct.
I must admit I'd pay for this fight. But IMO there is no other way it will end other than Holyfield making it 3-0.Quote:

Hes 20 years past his prime and as he said his career ended after he fought Douglas. Since then its been about the money and publicity. Obviously with the weight gain, he wasnt planning a return, but maybe he needs the money and this is the easiest way to get it. Just sad that it may have came to this.
I've been watching video of Holyfield lately. He has got to be the dirtest fighter I've ever seen.
Personally the dirtiest fighter I've ever seen was some guy who's name slips my mind. Anyway I have seen him do some vulgar things but one time he even went as far as to bite his opponents ear not once but twice in a fight!Quote:

I would pay $50 to see this, two of my alltime favorite fighters who have entertained me most of my life, and are in need of a donation for money problems.. sure I can do that
I saw a headline of this fight on a boxing website and just scrolled right past it. I know Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns aren't so busy lately, maybe we could get them to fight again. While we're at it, Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier are still around, how about they lace 'em up and get it on one more time...
It'll take more then ArabianBusiness.com to get me to believe this. There are more Tyson-Holyfield 3 reports then there are Naz Is Returning reports.
As a fan of Mike Tyson, I dont really care if Mike loses this fight, hes a long way past being competetive, if it does happen, id be glad hes earning some cash, he doesnt need to train, he can turn up, sit down after the first round and walk away, earning the same amount, then everyone who predictably paid for it will bitch;D;D
Would be a good fight on the cards but in reality it would be a huge snooze fest. Neither men can 'pull the trigger' anymore and none of them are particularly agile either...
Judging by the recent size we saw Tyson in.. would it be physically possible to lose enough weight by oct? This would kind of make sense though.. tyson got engaged to a english girl this week, maybe he's looking for the funds to fund his wedding?
One more thing... if they were to make a fight between these two, why would it be in Abu Dhabi? Someone please explain this one to me.
hell might as well make it a 2 on 1 match , Ali and Frazier Vs. George Foreman ;DQuote:
