Mike Tyson allegedly declines $25 million guarantee for trilogy fight with Evander Holyfield

According to a release from Holyfield’s team, negotiations were ongoing to book the third meeting between former heavyweight champions for a May 29 event at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The release states that Tyson’s representatives declined a $25 million guarantee to face Holyfield.

The parties have been reportedly in “intense negotiations for several months,” with Holyfield’s side believing a deal was “imminent.” However, according to Team Holyfield, Tyson’s demands became untenable and a deal could not be reached.

“We thought this was a done deal but it quickly fell apart when Tyson’s people declined all offers,” Holyfield’s manager Kris Lawrence stated. “We were negotiating in good faith all along and it appears we just ended up wasting our time.”

Seriously, I like Mchomes and Kesley, but now every time he scores, we got to see Taylor Swift in the sky box, and I am like OMG! 🙈

The 2030 World Cup has been awarded to Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina.

Let me break it down piece by piece, for people who may not be familiar with the system.

So, 2030 was supposed to be the 100th anniversary of the first ever World Cup, which was held in Uruguay in 2030. In honor of the occasion, Uruguay submitted a joint bid with Argentina, Chile and Paraguay. However, Europe was arguing that it's THEIR turn to host again. And Morocco has been wanting to get in on the action for a while, and with their success in the last World Cup, their bid finally started being taken seriously.

Anyways, FIFA decided this would be a good compromise for everyone. Basically, they didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Now, what does this mean?

South America is only scheduled to host the opening matches. This means that after their first match, teams will need to fly across the Atlantic to play their remaining matches.

Additionally, the rules of FIFA state that the same confederation must have a 2 tournament gap before being eligable to host again. This means that the only confederations eligible to host the tournament in 2034 are Asia and Oceania, which opens the door for a potential joint Australia & New Zealand bid. This also means however that in 2038, the tournament can only be held in North America, which means we'll most likely see the U. S., Canada or Mexico hosting again, which are the only three nations in CONCACAF that meet the necessary criteria to host.

In short, it's a huge mess!
