Tyson-Holyfield III?? ( "The Dessert in the Desert" )

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 03-04-2008, 07:14 PM

I don't necessarily think the two need to be pitted against each other, or are...but from what I've been hearing UFC is a lot more attractive right now than boxing is. I'm probably in one of the most important "demographics" for the 2 sports too. Either way boxing is on the decline, UFC influence or not. Right now I can't think of a casual fan getting too amped up for any boxing match up, outside of a few guys - definitely not any heavyweights either. If this match does happen, it just proves that these promoters are itching for money, if there was a lot of capable guys who could draw big audiences Tyson vs Holyfield probably wouldn't even be suggested (seriously, anyway)
