Tyson For $9.95 A Round

Wed., Nov. 6, 1996

Nevada boxing authorities are so upset about a cable television company’s per-round sale of the Mike Tyson-Evander Holyfield fight that they insist such an arrangement will not be allowed again.

“We’re very unhappy and adamantly opposed to this,” Marc Ratner, executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, said. “We’re going to pass a regulation so that the licensee cannot do this in the future.”

Cablevision Systems Corp., which says it has 2.8 million customers, most of them in the Cleveland area and on Long Island, is offering Saturday night’s fight for $9.95 per round up to a maximum of $49.95 (five rounds or more).
