Tvson could be out of challengers
The Associated Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Mike Tyson may have fought himself out of some big paydays with his devastating first-round knockout of Michael Spinks.
Tyson's 91-second destruction of Spinks on Monday, in a fight that may have grossed $70 million, left little doubt of his total domination of the heavyweight division. In fact, Tyson has become so dominant that questions are being raised about who might be able to stand up to him in the ring.
"It may be difficult to find an opponent the general public will want to see," said Mark Ettess, president of Trump Plaza. "Tyson's marketability is now more difficult because it appears no one can give him a fight."
Tyson is tentatively scheduled to fight England's Frank Bruno in London on Sept. 3, but even that fight is up in the air while Tyson wages a different kind of battle in the courtroom against manager Bill Cayton.
"Who knows what I'm going to do?"
Tyson said, "m just going to go
away."
Cayton was served with a suit filed by Tyson only minutes before the fight began, and after the bout Tyson hinted he may retire rather than fight again with Cayton as his manager.
Tyson confidant Jose Torres said, however, that Tyson, who turns 22 on Thursday, had no thoughts of retiring.
"That's bull," Torres said. "He's going to fight Sept. 3. I'm positive."
waged over control of the champion's career, alleges that Cayton conspired with his co-manager, the late Jimmy Jacobs, to get Tyson to sign a new contract in February when both knew Jacobs was dying.
Tyson's suit, part of a battle being
"I am very disappointed with Mike," Cayton said. "Mike Tyson knew all along that Jimmy and I were truly co-managers."
Tyson, who earned some $20 million for slightly more than a half round of work against Spinks, may find himself fighting for considerably smaller pawpaws in the future.
With a potentially lucrative fight against cruiserweight champion Evander Holyfield at least a year away, Tyson has run out of legitimate opponents.
"I don't see a real big market for a domestic fight soon," said Etess.
whose resort has first refusal rights for a Holyfield fight. "They can probably do some business in London for Bruno, but not here."
Don King, who promoted Monday's fight, said he envisioned Tyson embarking on a foreign fighting tour after the Bruno fight.
"I think Tyson is the type of fighter who could be sold around the world in an ambassadorial tour of fighting," King said. "Potentially, he's the greatest heavyweight champion of all time."
"My only hope is that I have the opportunity to earn his trust," King said. "When Mike Tyson talks, Don King listens."
King sat at ringside Monday night with Tyson's actress wife, Robin Givens, and her mother.
