That’s how much of his original ears he’ll have left after Mitt chows down on the good one?

Failed campaigns and other t-shirt intensive moments of enthusiastic speculation (failed championship bids), do, however, provide clothing for the world’s poor. Thanks Mitt!

That reminds me of the Seinfeld episode with “The Puffy Shirts” given to homeless people after they failed to sell.

Not the 47% of people who are moochers, obviously.

So mitt will win 10 dollars, holyfield gets a dollar while mitt gets the championship belt and knew he was going to win before the first bell rang anyway.
I’m kinda hoping holyfield drives his head into mitt’s chin while throwing that looping right hand. A move holyfield has always said “that the way i do it”. Butt em and smack em.
I would pay to see that. otherwise, not worth a penny.

“It will either be a very short fight, or I will be knocked unconscious.” I love that he thinks these possibilities are mutually exclusive. You think Holyfield couldn’t knock you unconscious in a few seconds if he wanted to Mitt?

This is fun, too, for classic Mitt awkwardness: “We’ll both suit up and get in the ring and spar around a little bit.” First, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a boxer say he was going to “suit up,” and, second, you either “spar” or “move around”–you DEFINITELY don’t “spar around.”

Ex champs and ex pelicans ending poorly. I love this auto correction for “politician” so much I’ll just leave it for anyone who’s interested.

Forget that.
If they really want to raise a lot of money they should forget about Holyfield and just auction off each round.

He’ll be in his magic undies one imagines, so “suit up” may be appropriate.
