How could ever possibly be considered "homophobic" in the first place after spending as much time in prison as Tyson has? :D

Tyson Hugs Gay Rights Demonstrator

                                              MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Mike Tyson hugged a demonstrator Sunday who
                                              shouted ``stop homophobia'' at him.

                                              Tyson, in town to fight heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis next
                                              Saturday night, got out of a sport utility vehicle outside a fitness center
                                              and walked over to nearby gay rights activists.

                                              ``I was shouting stop homophobia and holding up my sign, and then he
                                              just came up and hugged me and said he wasn't homophobic,'' said Jim
                                              Maynard, vice-chair of Equality Tennessee and one of three
                                              demonstrators.

                                              ``I was totally shocked,'' Maynard told The Commercial Appeal. ``I didn't
                                              really know what to do. So I just posed with him and smiled for the
                                              cameras. It's a step in the right direction.''

                                              Tyson signed autographs for approximately 20 people and then went
                                              inside for his workout.

                                              After Tyson finished his session, he got in the vehicle, rolled down the
                                              window and said, ``Listen. Listen. I'm not homophobic; I told them I'm not
                                              homophobic. So if I use a homophobic term ... I'm not homophobic.''

Aww, Mike's just covering his bases.

I hear he's on the lookout for a Jew, an American Indian, and a guy from Poland. He has his speech ready too:

If I thay thomething Antithemetic it doethn't mean I hate all you Ki... er Jews.

If I thay thomething antiIndian Its because I'm thtupid..... no wait.

If I thay a Polack joke, and it ithn't funny then I thwear I will always love Injuns.

 Well I'm torn in two over this.

1.  The thought of giving tyson any of my hard earned money makes me want to puke!

2.  I would really love to see lewis kick the dog poo poo out of tyson, which I think/hope is what's going to happen.  


 I'll probably watch it just because my roommate won't miss a tyson fight.  Though he will be watching for mike to fall too.


 Come on Lewis!!!! Keep the belt on the other side of the pond!!!!! we don't need it over here right now, not to tyson!!!!!!!!!

Vegas boxing is the same as WWF

Make America hate one of the players so they will all pay to watch.

Like that guy who fought Trinidad, but before he did, he came here and threw a Puerto Rican flag on the floor and stepped on it. With that little publicity stunt, they earned million of dollars of  PPV money.

LOL....great Tyson talk Midnight!

Tac...if a person makes a homophobic remark...with the knowledge that it is a homophobic remark...then isn't he homophobic?  What exactly is a homophobe otherwise?

Mike Tyson is just the latest Dennis Rodman -- his words and actions are calculated for shock value so that he stays semi-relevant for a few more big paydays.

This was the best boxing match I've seen in years. It was like a good Tough Man contest with 2 retards.



Stern stages boxing match




ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -- Don King, watch out: The self-proclaimed King of All Media is now a boxing impresario.

Syndicated radio host Howard Stern staged his "Brawl at the Taj Mahal" on Friday, pitting show regulars "Stuttering John" Melendez and Crazy Cabbie in a five-round amateur fight that drew a boozy, sellout crowd of more than 4,000 people, at $100 a ticket.

It had all the trappings of a real fight: King, Donald Trump and Evander Holyfield were among the big names ringside, and tuxedo-clad ring announcer Michael Buffer delivered his famous "Let's get ready to rumble" introduction.

It had Stern touches, too, including a midget dressed like King and a Siamese twin who sang the National Anthem.

The scrappy 5-foot-8-inch, 175-pound Melendez -- the crowd favorite -- dominated the 6-2, 262-pound Cabbie from the start, winning a unanimous decision.

Afterward, Cabbie claimed victory and said he wants a rematch
