Joke

They should give the tickets to the homeless so they can have a decent meal.Sure Buster Douglas knocked out a unprepared Tyson and also Tyson underestimated Buster this award is a joke.They also forgot to mention he lost the titles on his very first defense to Holyfield but did get a 24 million dollar payday and about a million to guest referee for the WWE,but still a joke.
