Tyson fights in Memphis

“All Right!!! I am already in line to watch this man eating, rapist pound away on another thug!

I better get reservations in Tunica for a night of gambing and partying after the fight.”

“...than here in GA.

Our Governor FINALLY did something right -
he blocked Tyson's bit to fight at the Dome.

BTW -
Tyson's gonna get his powass whipped reeeeel good'n proper -
I grant cha!”

“"I mean, I'm not crazy. It's not like I want to kill you and eat you or anything."

He actually said this while being interviewed by the Nevada boxing commission while trying to get his license back.

He was a great figher in his time and if D'Mato (spelling??) was alive, he'd still be on the straight and narrow.”

“The hundred dollar seats in the nose bleed section of the Pyramid are going to suck. I am not sure if you can make out a boxing ring from up there.”

“Don't be so cheap chili, get ya a good seat up front.”

“when will society stop rewarding criminals. Tyson, cannibal, wife beater, rapist. Darryl Strawberry, drug dealer, addict. and there are others that I can't name. As long as WE continue to support and pay for viewing criminals in sports, things will never change...I say ban tyson from EVER boxing again...they banned Pete Rose, yet Strawberry can do drugs and play baseball. What a bunch of crap. Tyson is a criminal who has no remorse for what he has done. he should still be in jail. Tennesee it FOS for allowing him to box there. And the WORLD is FOS for wanting to watch him...Time for him to go Bye Bye.

That;s just my humble opinion, and it does not reflect the attitudes of this station or its affiliates. Thank you, good night and God Bless America.”

“bacpac, seeing as how the fight is on a Saturday night, I won't feel the need to burn $3500.... I think a night in the woods will be just fine....”

“AGREED!!! you doing anything this weekend...oh yeah...its easter sunday...All the gentiles will not be in the woods....gonna have them all to myself.....yahoooooo!!!!!”

“I have the kids for the weekend and I think I will take them for a day hike Sunday. I can't think of a better way to gain appreciation of Easter Sunday than seeing a sunrise across an open valley.”

“Enjoy stikmon! Our Easter gift to you!”

“Oh hell, I thought this was about chicken.”

“Your right stikmon - Tyson is despicable but much like a car wreck, people can't help but watch him. Will he knock out his opponent out in round one?... will he eat him?... will he bring a weapon and use it?

He's just such an intriguing psychopath.”

“They've been showing retrospectives of the Tyson-Douglas fight recently. It's a joy to watch Douglas take Tyson apart bit-by-bit. It was Tyson's first fight after he fired his trainer, and nobody in his corner had any fight experience whatsoever. They were trying to bring down the swelling of one of his eyes with a condom filled with tap water. Hilarious.”

“Ring side seats are 2500-3000 to the first buyer..hehe..think how much by the time your friendly neighborhood scalper gets it. There are no rooms left in Memphis or surrounding area according to 2 friends. And there are no rooms in Tunica. Word is all the rooms were bought prior to the announcement..and are being sold in high dollar packages”

“OPIE, your source of information is good. The Memphis Redbirds (AAA team) has moved their night game up to mid afternoon in order to clear out of downtown before the fight. There are more motel/hotel rooms in Tunica than there are in Memphis. You can still get a room, but you better reach for your wallet.

I am planning a trip for that weekend. The company is wanting to send me to Utah if I have our new project up and running by then. Might be a good time to blow out of town.”

“I saw the same program Mr.bitpusher. Tyson definitly turned his back on quality for $$$.

If Tyson's hungry...let him eat!”

“Tennessee really must be one hellofa scumbag state. Even Vegas won't touch Tyson anymore.”

“Money talks and Bull#&%!$ walks, I guess. If this fight will do anything to keep property tax down for another year, bring it on. Can't see where it is going to have much other impact on me.”

“You got that right...

Our governor walked his sorry a$$ straight out of Georgia!



How pathetic to compromise values for $$$...

I hope there's some kinda riot or something related to the fight that brings Memphis to it's knees. Then, the Honorable Mayor would hafta spend ALLLLLLL that money that they made from that FREAKIN FREAK to clean-up the mess.

MOOOOOOWHAAHAHAHAHAHAaaaaaaaaaaa!”

“That's what you say now.

When Tyson goes on a rampage and eats half of the children in Tennessee, don't say you had no warning.”

“Look at the riots in Detroit after the Tigers won the World Series. By gojo and Violin's arguement, every city should send their MLB team packing.

At what is this world cup soccer all about. I mean the fans in International games go bezerk and go on a rampage. I can easily see where you would never want the World Cup to visit our soil.

Concerts??? Yeah, your right, we should just do away with them.

And of course anyone caught driving while intoxicated has absolutely violated laws of morality and should never be allowed to see an automobile, let alone get in one.

I could go on,,,,and on,,,,,and on. Do I like Tyson? No. I think he is a thug. Should he be allowed to box? Not my decision. Does it make economical sense to host the fight? We should know by June 11th.”

“So chile36 supports baby eating?”

“Or whatever your name is.”

“Let them fight I have no problem with it as long as I don’t have to watch and I don’t have to pay for it and I don’t have a state income tax . I AM HAPPY. Let them fight it out.”

“Violin, what does "baby eating" possibly have to do with a boxing match? And you are presuming that I "support" the boxing match. What an erroneous conclusion. Careful review should reveal that I am NOT anti-boxing match.

I don't support burning the Unites States Flag ,,,,,however I am not anti-flag burning as I believe that the US Constitution absolutely provides for Freedom of Speech and Expression. The Supreme Court has done an outstanding job of determining what actions deserve such protection. Does my refusal to be anti-flag burning make me "un-American"? Or does my unfaltering belief in the power of the Bill of Rights make me a better Citizen?

How is Tyson so much more "morally" decrepid than are some NBA; NFL; MLB or other players? Do you support boycotting major league sports because of the actions of some? Do you think Ray Lewis was innocent or just not guilty? Do you leave the room when he appears on television? Do you write letters to the networks advising of a boycott of NFL?

Judging on licensing in not within my domain. I personally don't believe that some people who drive should be allowed that privilege. However, I don't park my car and stay at home because they do.

The theory of "for me or against me" is over-used and more often than not erroneously applied.”

“Nice attempt to dodge my question cannibal36.”

“Sooo...where is THIS fight gonna take place? In New Jersey or Tennessee?
What weight class do you guys fight in?
I volunteer to be the bookie.”

“chili36 just doesn't want to admit that he's a titanium axe-wielding brain-sucker just like everyone else on TT! ;-) don't worry, we won't tell.

i don't think it's been decided whether or not he'll be allowed to fight in DC...”

“Violin, the answer to your question is no.

Lyra, I just cant get any force out of titanium. Good old fashioned tempered steel still works best for me.”

“I didn't know we were talking about TT Celebrity Death Match!
Pique my interest why don't you?”

“All I was saying is that I hope that whomever hosts the fight will, in some fashion, lose the precious money for which they sold their souls...”

“To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other.”

“Yep, Artex, you just about summed it up!”

“Personally Tyson fighting in Memphis is a good fit. A scum person for a scum town. My apologizes to anyone on this list who has to live in Memphis.”

“Gee, thanks Ewker. While I am not too fond of Memphis, I have been places that are worse.”
