Mitt Romney to fight Evander Holyfield for charity

Forget Mayweather vs. Pacquiao for just one moment. Here’s a piece of breaking boxing news for you: 68-year-old political veteran, ambassador of capitalism, former governor of Massachussetts and 2012 contender to President Barack Obama’s presidential strap, Mitt Romney, will participate in a boxing match for charity. Romney said that it would be a lot "better to provide this kind of entertainment rather than just have dinner and listen to speakers.”

And he’s not just boxing some random old dude. Romney’s going to the take on 52-year-old former heavyweight champion of the world Evander Holyfield. Holyfield has a 44-10-2 record. Romney will be wearing full protective gear: he told the Salt Lake Tribune that “It will either be a very short fight, or I will be knocked unconscious.”

Holyfield, who is famous for his legendary combats with Mike Tyson in the 90s, last fought in 2011, when he defeated Danish boxer Brian Nielsen.

The fight—which happens on May 15th— will be for CharityVision, a Utah-based organization dedicated to helping doctors in developing nations perform surgeries on people who suffer from curable blindess. One of Mitt’s sons serves as volunteer president of the organization.

Price tags on the event’s sponsorships range from US$ 25,000 to US$ 150,000.

Lol. If I were Romney I'd fork over a bit of extra cash in exchange for Holyfield taking a huge dive and trying to make it look legit.

Wait... Tickets range from 25 to 150 thousand dollars??... Christ, scratch that.

Who the fook wrote this? 'Legendary combats' ;D I feel bad for Holyfield here. Dude could pull much more at Comic Con

You think he will be introduced as MITT "THE NIT " ROMNEY.

So after this he'll be 0-2 lifetime?
(After his 2012 KO loss to Barack Obama).

I think that's the sponsorship rate for businesses, ect.

Tell Mitt to slide to the right and throw the right.

Mitt needs more work on mitts.

Mitt has been watching lots of tape, especially Holyfield/Bowe, and has found a weakness apparently.

I wish it was Obama fighting Tyson.
