Mike Tyson Quote

Reporter: If you win this puts you in the Ali, Joe Louis, Jack Johnson level. How do you control the fight?
Tyson: It's interesting that you put me in the league with those illustrious fighters, but I've proved since my career I've surpassed them as far my popularity. I'm the biggest fighter in the history of the sport. If you don't believe it, check the cash register.
