Damn shame it had to end this way. I was hoping that he would end his career on a high note--to become the old Mike Tyson again and fight like he did in his prime for his last match. I wasn't expecting it to end like this, with him simply quitting.

He had it all, and he's going to retire completely broke-- he's 40 million in debt.

Too bad to see such a fighter go down like that.

We all knew deep down he was done for anyways. Who takes a fight where the fighter out weigh him by 40 pounds and is a ft taller. Obviously he needed the money. He said it himself, he doesent have it in him anymore and he doesent want to disrespect the sport anymore. Good luck to him.

It's gonna be really cool to see him on Celebrity love island though.

The sport of boxing is dead.... We'll be wating for the next tyson for the next 15 years.

someone mentioned this earlier, and it has crossed my mind too. I think Tyson somehow bet against himself and took a dive.

He owes so many people money and needs cash as well. The odds against McBride were so great that anyone who bet on him would have made tons of money.

i doubt tyson would bet against himself. It could be found out and if it was, it was cause him problems, incluidng legal ones as it is illegal to fix a match.

Na can't be. Did you see him at the start of the 6th round? You could see the anger in him, he was hurting that bad inside.

just because the heavyweight division is indeed dead, doesnt mean that the whole sport is dead. You got so many talented fighters in the lighter divisions. eventually therell be another generation of talented heavyweights who will bring the sport into full steam again.

the lower weight division is definitely more exciting, but boxing is boring...... I like show like the contender where the fight is pre-recorded and the viewer only watches the good parts of the fight with music and sound effects... I hate watching title fights where they hug the entire round....I prefer k1 and ufc, although ufc has gone down hil.
