From the “Scene and Heard” part of this article in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, via BenMaller.com…
More on Mike Tyson’s bizarre go-go dancing marathon at OPM (Forum Shops at Caesars), that ended at dawn Saturday. Tyson “borrowed” about two dozen bar towels to hand out as souvenirs. He’d towel off the sweat and toss the keepsakes into the crowd of female spectators. After leaving the club, my spies say, Tyson became enraged and threatened to pulverize three guys before security intervened. Then he grabbed a female tourist who was snapping some photos, and the slurring ex-champ invoked his four favorite words, which began with “Show me your ….”
YES. He’s still got it.
That’s my man. Still doing that smooth thing the way only he can. And how lucky are those people that got the bar towels that Mike Tyson used to wipe the sweat on his forehead that accumulated while he was in the midst of a go-go dancing marathon. If you were going to list one of those on EBay, how would you even begin to give the listing a title?
I really want Tyson to fight again … not in the traditional boxing sense, but … I dunno. For example, I’d really like to have seen him beat the hell out of the afore-mentioned three guys. I know he’s done as a traditional boxer, and him getting in the ring again would be a disaster, but why couldn’t Fox, like twice a week, just put Tyson in the ring with some average guy off the street?
There’s gotta be a lonely accountant out there somewhere who would take a savage bare-knuckles beating from Mike Tyson for a couple hundred grand. And it’s not like this is below FOX or something. They show worse things on any random Tuesday night. They should make this happen.

Fuck the ring. I want to see Tyson just show up at a cubefarm and beat down Bill Lumbergh. Or whoever. It’d be like Terry Tate, but with pints more blood and no redeeming message.
Please oh please, FOX make this happen.

Make it Thursdays on FOX. House rules on Tuesdays.

I remember when Mike was at the top of his boxing career and the talk around the water cooler was how little money it would take to get you in the ring with him. We had a couple of guys who would have done it for under $50,000. I’d pay to see him beating on some cheesehead from Wisconsin . . . .

Yeah, like Tyson-Holyfield III wouldn’t be interesting?
I’d watch.
