    Understanding this is beyond my pay grade

    My first "exposure" to this "event" was a short blurb in one of my papers about mike tyson slapping some dude at a weigh in for a fight Tyson is 58 years old----and I never heard of the other dude

    A friend of mine worked in Ohio for a couple of years and don king had an "estate" close to where he was working. Common visitors to the "estate" were tyson and king's drug and alcohol addicted daughter---who spent far too much time keeping the Amish community in awe

    Anyway---today I saw the results of this unimaginable "match", tyson lost and got 20 million and the unknown dude got 40 million in eight 2 minute rounds

    Even more amazing was that they found 70,000 plus Texans willing to buy a ticket and another 60 million watching on Netflex

    However, I did find one redeeming aspect of this mess

    I read about it after the so-called fight...I confine my kickbox watching to old Jean Claude Van Damme movies, they're more entertaining, especially when Donald Gibb is in them......Ben
