Ibwas just a teenager back then. There was always a relative who would pay for the fight and host a party. Everybody would socialize until the main event. Then 20 seconds later everybody would ask "why do I fall for this every time?"

Never paid for a Tyson PPV. Uncle has a chipped cable box. Good time before the advent of digital cable.

I remember those days. I had friends who would get the ppv, and every time, the event was bigger than the fight.

My parents had one of those massive dishes that had to turn to get the different satellites. I remember squinting through the static to watch porn. Good times, good times

I remember the earlier fights were on HBO, not pay-per-view. But I think I saw most of the PPV fights. I remember pitching in, I think I even hosted one of them.

The Holyfield fight with the ear bite stands out in my memory the most.

It was pretty obvious that Tyson would win barring a lucky punch. For athletes, quickness goes faster than power

I knew a guy who would make his money back and then some charging people either food or money for a seat.

Easily. There was usually always a guy in or near our neighborhood who would host a big party and charge a $10-20 cover. They usually came out ahead, lol.

I think anyone who entertains the idea of fighting Mike Tyson - any year - is straight crazy.

I guess fit Holyfield for his straitjacket, cause not only did he knock him out....he made him quit the second time

 

[JPPT1974]

Thought Tyson would bite off his ear to win LOL!

They were around at the same time. Holyfield was an up and comer when Tyson was champion he also fought lite heavyweight and cruiser weight
