Get Me Kevin Rooney

[bikersk]

sorry dude can't help you, but welcome to the forum. It might be useful to post why you would like to contact him. Just a thought.

[youkinam]

I've found his new Mike Tyson

[ross]

Its up to you wether you believe me or not but I talk to Steve Lott.

If you can convince me why I should get him to put you in contact with Kevin, I will ask him for you.

Whoever the new Mike Tyson is, be it yourself or someone you know, have they fought amature?

[Master]

Someone asked this question before and Kevin Rooney gave his email address (if it was him) check the threads.

Ross does Tyson and Steve still talk? and meet one another?

No, Mike wont answer him at all, Steve writes, sends articals that would be of interest to him and phones.

Steves take on this is that Mike is deep down inside ashamed of what he has become because he knows what Cus would think of him and while Mike surrounds himself with all the hangers on like Darryl "Rolls Royce" I cant remember his second name and all the other leaching idiots like Tom Patti who used to train under Cus and lived in the house but is now trying to be an actor and is leaching off Mikes fame still, he has apeared in a couple of films, one was with Mike in a film directed by the twaat who ddi the recent documentary.

Steve hated that film also, Mike was made to look stupid and sad.

Steve has even written and spoken directly to Harlen Werner who is Mikes manager now, he advised that rather than do the poor sparring exhibitions they tried, Mike should travel to american forces bases and spar the troops, this would get Mike good publicity and keep him fit to boot for any possible comeback.

Steve still has a plan to make Mike a successfull boxer again, he still works with Kevin Rooney and both would welcome Mike back with open arms, Steve was managing Lenord Piuerre who now trains other fighters.

steve told me a fascinating story regarding Mike.

A few months before Mike fought Lewis he visited Catskills out the blue looking for Kevin and Steve, neither Steve nor Kevin were around, maybe he wanted to hook back up because deep down he knows thats the only team that works.

Steve found out and they met up, he offered Mike the plan of getting back together, doing aload of publicity things and a series of comeback fights but as soon as Mike got back with the idiots, fearing theyd lose their gravy gtrain, they persuaded Mike to ignore Steve.

What could have been in the Lewis fight eh?

Mike is embarrassed with himself, he knows that the old team made him, he was a spokesperson for the fbi and the new york police department he advertised pepsi and nintendo, no other fighter would be doing these things.

Mike was guided with brilliance, he was offered another similar deal back when King poached him, which included a little world tour, Bruno in London, an argie fighter in argentina who I cant remember, I think he
fought Holmes and then Holyfield in las Vegas.

Every thing Steve has told me makes sense, the plans he has laid out would make Mike a positive figure once again, he may not be successfull at fighting any more but they would give him a very good shot at it. Mike has never given any other trainer the respect he showed Rooney he alzso never worked as hard for anyone else, its probably all to late for the boxing side now but not for Mike to make good money from his name alone.

King was a leach as was Finkle as is Harlen Werner

Steve just wants whats best for Mike, regaining his positive image and status and becoming a legit millionaire once again, he is now but its tied up in a few places.

Tyson should leave the fighting now, I think he does not have the desire and do not think his body is up for the punishment of training. Still cannot beleive he is has hangers on, I thought he was broke. I wish he would get back with Steve and Kevin and maybe even Teddy!

Mike is his own master but he lets others dictate how he lives his life.

He still has money, he still has fame, which is why he still has leaches.

Steve and Kevin were a part of the team that made Mike Tyson, they have never wronged him, they still want whats best for him.

They probably realise that his fighting days are over but if they hatched a plan for Mike to fight again it would make shiit loads.

For a start the reunion thing would draw massive interest, he could travel the world fighting every month, it wouldnt have to even be just 4 rounders, it could be just any old bum, people will still pay to watch Mike, especially if he got back with Rooney, they would want to see some of the old moves, against anyone.

With the heavyweights as dire and boring as they are im sure after a dozen fights hed have offers, they could pick and choose.

I think physically Mike could still fight, his problem has been shiit handling, you dont hrow an old man in with anyone that has desire, just fight anyone glad of a payday, like foreman did. People may laugh but they would still watch, knowing that they would get some good old fashioned highlight reel knockouts from Iron Mike.

hes never been given the chance to get any momentum in a comeback, the closest he came was when he fought francis, saverese then Golota, the Golota fight is the best Mike looked in a long time because hed been active, it was then a year before he bloated for the first time and fought Nielsen, the weight was a give away on Mikes desire, he was always in good shape. After that it was 8 months then Lewis, he was denied a warm up fight with Mercer by Lewis.

He wasd scheduled to fight David izon soon after the Golota fight, it was starting to look very interesting for him, he would have been sharp but without the proper Damato system being drilled int o him he was only gonna make the same mistakes but he would have been sharp and fit.

For some reason the Izon fight fell through

I think that Mikes behaviour since the split is down to the split, he feels bad about it but if he got back with them it would be like a weight off his shoulders and would lift him.
