Tyson versus Botha fight proves costly with limited lead time
Bernard Fernandez notes that Tyson Botha promotion began only seven weeks before the Las Vegas venue MGM Grand. Attendance reportedly 12 159 amid holidays, with hotel prices high and some seats offered to staff. An informed source questions attendance figures and promo limitations, while Joe Hand Sr. says the event performed okay but not great. He believes Tyson remains marketable but must stay active to regain form.
