Paul fighting Tyson doesn't necessarily preclude him from continuing to fight gatekeepers with an eye toward title contention one day. But it's also clear that if these big-money events come up, he's not going to turn them down to continue steadily on that championship path against unknowns. For all the criticism that this fight with Tyson will rightly glean, it's pretty remarkable what Paul and Most Valuable Promotions has done in a very short time, putting on major boxing events and building its roster. Paul has made combat sports work for him, rather than vice versa. -- Raimondi  
  
"The people with knowledge of Tyson's problems include Donald Trump and public relations man Howard Rubenstein," wrote McAlary, neglecting to mention that Rubenstein is Trump's p.r. man. "Tyson's lawyers—Peter Parcher and Steven Hayes—also understand the situation. But none of these four will discuss the champion's problems. They are more interested in the fighter's future than his next fight."

In 1926 a thematic precursor appeared in an article by pseudonymous sports journalist "Fair Play" who discussed the career of boxer Tiger Flowers.

Gist added: "We really wanted to make sure we were as broad as possible in the research and the dramatization of the events of his life and we could make sure we were opening the doors to other conversations to be had around those things as well."  
  
"But for me, I have to be able to find moments where we can give humanity where no matter what our perception of him is, or what we think or thought of him, that we know that he's a human being. And so where did this behavior come from? How did it come about? How did it manifest? And I look to ask those questions."  
  
On Bill Maher's Club Random podcast, Tyson discussed the quote, saying, "Even with me! With everybody with life in general. We have to realize that things can happen… If it could happen, it would happen."  
  
Tyson landed in court again in 1998, this time as a plaintiff. On March 5, the boxer filed a $100 million lawsuit in U.S. District Court in New York against promoter Don King, accusing him of cheating him out of millions of dollars. He also filed a lawsuit against his former managers Rory Holloway and John Horne, claiming they had made King the boxer’s exclusive promoter without his knowledge. In 2004, King and Tyson settled out of court for $14 million, though Tyson used the award to pay off debt.

The fight was originally scheduled for July 20, but postponed because of a recent ulcer flare-up for the 57-year-old Tyson. According to a representative, Tyson became dizzy and nauseated while flying from Miami to Los Angeles on May 26. Paramedics boarded the plane upon landing to assist him. Doctors subsequently advised Tyson to do minimal to no training in the coming weeks, upsetting the original timeline for the fight.  
  
Tyson once again had the opportunity to fight for a heavyweight championship in 2002. Lennox Lewis held the WBC, IBF, IBO and Lineal titles at the time. As promising fighters, Tyson and Lewis had sparred at a training camp in a meeting arranged by Cus D'Amato in 1984. Tyson sought to fight Lewis in Nevada for a more lucrative box-office venue, but the Nevada Boxing Commission refused him a license to box as he was facing possible sexual assault charges at the time.

The video features Smith parodying another famous Philadelphian, Rocky Balboa, as he wheezes up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and trains by punching a slab of beef. He and Townes also dress up as old men and comment on the action, baldly ripping off a similar scene from "Coming to America." Tyson appears in just two scenes, appearing to rough Smith up at a rowdy pre-fight press conference, and then fighting Smith in the ring. Dressed in a "Free James Brown" t-shirt, Tyson dances around and throws punches toward the camera, while Smith takes several exaggerated pratfalls to the canvas before showing up at the end of the video with his face covered in gnarly bruises and welts.
