no, whats shameful is that people are actually stupid enough to pay it, if there wasnt a market for it they wouldnt be wasting their time sitting there charging it, its like the people who bitch and moan about pro athletes salaries, dont like it, stop supporting the product.

It's hilarious some people actually go for it.

As big a fan as I am of certain bands, I would never give out that kind of money for ANYTHING.

btw, in mike's defense he probably isn't the one saying "Yeah- lets charge them this, this and this"

it's the sports management firm that sets the prices

Most likely, if you see mike on the street and you ask for a autograph he will give it to you with no problem


now, lou, on the other hand, will ask for the 20 bucks at the expo, on the street and at the supermarket


that's shameless/ low rent

My brother,his wife and a few friends were in Vegas a few years back. He went to hang his coak up in the clockroom of a resturaunt and Tyson was standing next to him - Brother introduced himself and said he was a fan and Tyson was really cool and said hello. When my Bro and his party came to settle the bill the waitress explained that ''Mr Tyson had taken care of it''

Not all bad

Bay, it's because at his absolute prime Tyson was probably the best boxer in our modern era? He destroyed the entire division .... and then got lazy .....and lost to Buster Douglas because he didn't train and had a shitty corner.

But Johhnynoname is right ... I'm sure it's his management PR team that insist on the fee?money?  He never charged me a penny when I asked for a pic with him.....

I agree.  And in his prime I'd take a pic with him; even romp with him too; Mike actually has a lot of gay and bicurious fans (and he knows it).  But he is a far cry from that prime now... so why would you want a pic with him? ???

That's probably how much his autograph goes for on the open market..I bet most of the people who get it will resell it anyway. If they are going to make some cash off you, make some off of them too. And lol at comparing some guy most people know as "that retard on the King of Queens" to one of the best athletes ever.

Well...Mike Tyson is the youngest and most famous World Boxing Champion....Lou Ferigno got famous over being painted green and flexing and yelling for a TV show as Bill Bixby did the actual acting.... :).


Besides...a table at the Fit Expo is about 15k...gotta make up that money

For the exact reason that I would still want a pic today with Muhammed Ali or George Foreman? I was a fan of them in their prime?  Don't you want a pic of you with Elton John ..... even though he hasn't produced a new song in over a decade?

Sorry, no.  Collecting pix of, or taking pix with, the glitterati just isn't my thing.  Watch Mike box?  Sure.  Listen to Elton John in concert?  Sure.  Pix?  Not so much.  For all my interest in bodybuilding I have never ordered or purchased a signed autograph photo of a bodybuilder.  I actually take a lot of photos myself (animals, people, scenes--you've seen my pix from Hawaii--etc.). But, the people I want to be in pictures with are friends & family.  People I am actually emotionally connected to--not a name celebrity that doesn't know me from a hole in the wall.

Dumbass, what is he going to do if I go in for a take down and GnP? A boxer is completely defenseless on his back.
I would take him down and choke him out simple as that. Of course Tyson would easily kill me in a boxing match--even an old out of shape Tyson.
But if there are no rules he would be a fish out of water once he's on his back.

We figured this out way back in the early 90s with UFC 1.

The chance of him landing a punch is higher than the chance of him being taken down.

I have 2 autographed photos of him from the early 90's and a pair of gloves he signed as well.

Not sure what they are worth, but they were free to the first 100 people who showed up for one of his public workouts many years ago.

I'd pay it.  Mike Tyson was bigger than Michael jordan at one point.  I'm a big fan of this guy.  It would be cool to meet him in a situation where I could count on him not trying to kick me in the groin, knock me unconscious and stomp on my head.  He seems happier now that he doesn't have the burden of being "The baddest man on the planet" anymore.  If I would have known in advance that Mike was gonna be there I would have went to the Expo and paid it gladly.  However, I'm not broke like most Getbiggers.
