Do you think it’s a bit annoying or sad that even Mike Tyson at 57, almost 58, is still a household name and people still would pay to see him to see him box and not considered old news with his star power surpassed by the newer young upcoming boxers coming up to become big stars in their own for the public to take notice and pay attention to?
When boxing was a major sport, no one would've bought into this farce. No young fighter would've wanted a 57 year old man's name on their record, no promoter would've thought it would sell, and few fans would've bothered to watch.
Sport is meant to move on; yesterday's champs are respected, but superseded by the stars of today. The fact that Mike is still a bigger star than any active fighters is bad news for boxing, its not the sign of a healthy sport.
