Tyson Reduced to Vegas Strip Freak ShowFormer Champ Put on Display at Aladdin Hotel
Mike Tyson used to put on displays. On this day, he was just on display.
Down the street, tourists watched lions and dolphins between breaks at the slot machines. In the Aladdin hotel, they didn't need to move from their seats at the bar to see another curiosity in a makeshift ring. The former baddest man on the planet has been reduced to this - just another freak show on the Las Vegas Strip.
Like he wasn't a freak before this?
The signs said he was in training, and that was enough to lure a few hundred people to the makeshift ring set up just outside the casino's buffet restaurant. Training for what was a question better left unanswered.
Training for a full 12 rounds with reality.
Tyson once made $35 million for one fight and more than $300 million in his career before blowing it all. Now he's a casino sideshow, trying to make a few bucks the only way he knows how in a sport he no longer can stand.
"I truly hate fighting," Tyson said. "I've got a bad taste in my mouth."
Probably some of Holyfield's earwax.
