I'm glad Tyson is coming here

Wednesday, 23 September 2009

It's said there is no such thing as bad publicity and this may well be the case with Mike Tyson's expected appearance at the Waterfront Hall.

I can't help thinking the women's support groups would have been better to say nothing. If they had, I might never have known he was coming.

But, thanks to them, I know he is and I am seriously considering buying a ticket as I would like to hear what he has to say on a number of issues - both inside and outside the ring.

I wonder if anybody else found out about his visit because of the women's groups?

That point (of squealing of the media selling more tickets) was made 19 years ago when Mr. Tyson was to fight in Manchester...the usual populist tabs went wild with anger - with a couple going all racist. Who turned up? Everyone who were 'famous' at the time, from shallow pop groups and football players, to gangsters from Moss Side & Liverpool and people who wanted to see him perform against Julius Francis. But this time, Observer - looks like the man Tyson may go elsewhere to talk...
