Antonio Tarver News: Tarver on Tyson bout: ''50-50 or there's no fight!''
 
NewsSource: boxingtalk
By G. Leon

December 21, 2005 - Yesterday evening reliable sources informed Boxingtalk that light heavyweight king Antonio "The Magic Man" Tarver was demanding a 50-50 purse split for a PPV showdown against former undisputed heavyweight champion "Iron" Mike Tyson. At first we didn't believe the information to be accurate, however, a quick phone call to Tarver confirmed his demands. "Why I would take anything less? It's 50-50 or there's no fight, I'm not taking any more shorts and 50-50 is a fair offer," said Tarver. Boxingtalk understands that Tyson would have likely been willing to move forward under a 60-40 split in favor of Tyson. If Tarver's position doesn't change, the chances of Tyson-Tarver ever coming off look grim. Tyson was unavailable for immediate comment, but we plan on speaking with him shortly to see what he has to say about Tarver demanding parity.

That's bull... Tarver [i]should[/i] get 100% of the purse, because that's what he's going to need when his hospital bill comes.

tarver is doing this to price himself out. mike is well past his best but if he can unload for 5 rounds he will murder tarver. this is one of the few fights i would pay a bomb for even if i knew it ws gona b a first round blow out, just because i hate tarver. hope jones woops his ass 2.

Mike should get 100 % of the purse. Mike would be the main attraction in this fight, not Tarver. The people just come to see Mike Tyson. Who is Tarver in a Tyson fight? Tarver is just a boxer who would step into the ring with a legend.

My opinion is: All the money for Mike or there is no fight !
