Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson joke about the ear biting incident

 
Last Thursday marked the 15 year anniversary of the infamous boxing match between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield where Mike shockingly bit off a chunk of Evander's ear. The June 28, 1997 WBA heavyweight title fight held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Mike Tweeted Evander about the milestone, and Evander poked fun at the situation. True champions!

Last Thursday marked the 15 year anniversary of the infamous boxing match between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield where Mike shockingly bit off a chunk of Evander's ear. The June 28, 1997 WBA heavyweight title fight held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Fact.

The whole purpose of the tweet was advertising ==>> to get press coverage for RealDealBbqSauce.com

There's nothing "sportsmanship" about Evander Holyfield's tweet or Mike Tyson "reply." They exploited the anniversary of the June 28, 1997 incident to get (free) mass media coverage for Evander Holyfield's RealDealBbqSauce.com

They are selling ==>> promoting a barbecue sauce which Evander Holyfield was paid to endorse. Mike Tyson would certainly would have been paid at least £100,000 for participating with his twitter account. 

Mike Tyson's reply and Evander Holyfield's tweeted was scripted by a copywriter.

Linda, dear, don't let em fool ya with their pr laden tweet.

You fit imagine say this happened in Naija? The chap wey bite ear would have been remotely liquidated by the relations wey dey village of the earless chap. In return, the 'eruku' of the barbarian would have sent the earless chap toan early grave by the use of broken bottle.

Case in point - DJTee wey get bad belle against Aristo come go use excuse say one babe rude to am to scatter fine boy's mug.
