It wouldn't take a promoter half as smart as King to market someone as skilled as Tyson still is. But that's not the point any longer. He had a good little run, a lot of people made money, but nobody wants to see this kind of misery made public. Whatever happens next is best played out behind the tent's closed flaps, in some other town.
