Hey man that's a lot for making this thread memorable. That is a great story about the casino execs, although I think Tyson outclasses Bruno anyway unless Bruno wasn't fighting, the fight would have ended anyway eventually.jt
There were alot of people supporting Bruno that night and they were all sitting together. Everytime he hit Tyson they would scream and yell. No doubt Tyson was going to win but at that time he was knocking people out so fast. The big bet was that it wasn't going to last past the fifth or 6th round (whichever one). Everyone made that bet. If Tyson would have knocked out Bruno early the casinos would have lost a whole lot of money. So once he got past that point the casinos were safe they were all excited, left the fight and Tyson won the next round. I remember when we walked into the arena (there was 14 of us) we were all wearing jackets like the one I have below. I was the only one with that type which the owner had made for me. It would have cost over $6,000 but luckily it was free. Everyone in the place was taking pictures of us. Those jackets sparkle like hell. So about 10 minutes after we sat down and said hi to everyone around us you heard this big roar. We thought there was a fight going on in the stands. When we finally saw what it was, it was Arnold walking in and sitting across from us.
Wow that is great story. The jacket is awesome, do you still have it? 6 thousand sounds way overpriced, where their real jewels on it or something that made it that expensive?Also I agree Tyson could have knock out Bruno in one round both fight if he wanted to, I mean he knocked him out so fast when he wanted to.jt
Holyfield
No don't have it anymore, someone stole it at a party I went to. Set it down and it was gone. I think Tony Alamo (the owner of the company)told me it had over 4000 Austrian crystals on it. Both sleeves alone had close to 3000. There was a map of the USA on the back too. It was all hand painted and each crystals was put on by hand. It weighed something like 9 pounds or something like that. we gave one to Mike Tyson just like the one I have on. I only wore it out when I needed to show-off.
