Then I'd walk out of the fight all together.

At this point in Evander's career, the OPPONENTS, promoters, and opposing team's manager, Evander's manager, and Evander's team.... are to blame ALSO.
I agree except there is no way the opponents are to blame.. Holyfield himself is to blame, and maybe his management and those around him.. But the opponents they pick certainly arent.. If anything this will probably be the biggest paycheck Frank Woods will ever recieve in his life, it could be how he feeds his children for years..We don't know.. The point is there are thousands of average level fighters who would give an arm and a leg to fight a big name like Holyfield, no matter how old he is they still make some money... Hell this is boxing everyone knows the risks, I just don't think you can distribute the blame like that, it's Holyfields problem... We all know there are guys who will fight him.
