translated from Spanish: Tyson turned down $25 million offer to measure himself to Holyfield in Miami

American boxer Mike Tyson would have turned down a million-dollar bid for getting back into the ring to face Evander Holyfield at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium on May 29.” We thought this deal was closed, but everything fell when Tyson’s people declined all the offers. We’ve been negotiating in good faith all the time and it looks like we ended up wasting our time,” Kris Lawrence, manager of Evander Holyfield, lamented through a statement distributed by Swanson Communications and picked up by the ‘ESPN’ website. From the surroundings of Holyfield, who defeated Tyson in their previous two bouts in the late 1990s, “their frustration” was expressed over the rejection of this offer and complained of a turn in what was initially agreed for this long-awaited reunion between the Alabama fighter and the Brooklyn fighter.” Both sides were negotiating intensively for several months and the Holyfield team sincerely thought the deal was imminent, especially after Hard Rock supported the project and there were other offers for Tyson’s team. However, the demands of Tyson’s team were unsustainable and far from what Mike Tyson had agreed directly with Holyfield,” they criticized.
