Anyone going to watch the fight tonight?

I think we all knew what was going to happen. Big money grab for Tyson. Good for him. But I think we were all hoping for Tyson to go against what was scripted and drop him.

I don't know that anything was scripted beyond both guys agreeing not to hurt each other. That footage of Tyson training that was released made everyone believe he might have something left in the tank for one more fight. The reality though, and what everyone forgot (myself included) was that Tyson was completely shot as a fighter 20 years ago, ending his career with two really bad losses to guys most of us haven't heard of. As a guy in his mid 50's, I should have known that Tyson had no chance against a guy with even marginal boxing skills that was half his age. This ended up being the big, last payday Tyson never got at the end of his career. 

If anything this tells you the current state of boxing, that it took something like this to make people actually care about boxing again.
