The conversation then turned to Evander Holyfield, who Tyson was supposed to fight in 2020, but the match fell through. When asked about the potential fight with Holyfield, Tyson simply stated, “I can be persuaded.” The interviewer then asked how much money it would take to convince Tyson to fight again, to which Tyson replied that he couldn’t say until he saw the financial details of the fight. “When I see the money people for the end of the product, my mind works clearer,” Tyson said. “I can’t express myself right now financially.”
