Letter: Tyson-Norris was a sham

Friday, Nov. 5, 1999 | 11:05 a.m.

The Mike Tyson-Orlin Norris fight was a disgrace to this town, the sport and the MGM Grand. I will never step inside that hotel again. My hero, P.T. Barnum, said it all: There is a sucker born every minute.

I hope Tyson chokes on his money and a train runs over Norris. That way, his knee won't be hurting him anymore.

It will take an act of Congress to end boxing. But I predict ... boxing will end. Remember Prohibition ... now they have enough booze to sink the Titanic all over again.
