Tyson is a better quitter than hitter (http://msn.foxsports.com/boxing/story/3683138?GT1=6555)

Mike Tyson (50-6) quit on his stool last night in his fight against Kevin McBride (33-4-1). Tyson's surrender against the unranked McBride marks the fourth loss in a row that he has said "No Mas."

Funny, last week when asked about what he thought of McBride, Tyson said "He doesn't look like he punches hard," after previously referring to him as a "tomato can." What does that say about Tyson throwing in the towel and sitting on his stool to end his fight against him? It says exactly what Tyson has always been, a front-running bully who backed down every time he was challenged and met with resistance.

Not bad payday of $5M, maybe he isn't as dumb as he looks? But I think he owed about $10M before the fight and now he has no way to earn any money.

According to the sports news last night Mike owes the IRS $40 Million. How do you get that deep???

Tyson made $5 Million USD for the fight, of which he gets to keep very little. The IRS gets something like $2 Million, while his X gets $750,000.

The winner got only $150,000 USD.

(IIRC the numbers right)
