Title: Mike Tyson's House and The Poker Game Post by: Sark79 on January 21, 2006, 10:53:17 AM This morning I couldn't sleep and was reading the latest PokerPlayer magazine when I came across an interesting story. English millionaire Dominic Morrocco recently bought ex-boxing champion Mike Tysons house (£2.3 million). It is now Morrocco' plan to put it up as a first prize in a single table tournament to be shown of TV. Morrocco will claim the first seat. Now here is the interesting part, Morrocco is ofering the second seat to Tyson himself. The other competitors will be made up of high-rollers and internet players. As Morrocco beat rapper 50cent to buying the house from Tyson a few years ago, the article suggests that 50 cent may want to get his revenge on Morrocco and take one of the seats in the game. Ok, all this sounds like fantasy dream land I admit. But stranger things have happened. Imagine sitting across from Mike Tyson in a card game. In terms of dodgy situations to be in, I think that is pretty high up there. Actually the woman from the US wife swap clip is alot worse than anything Tyson could throw at you. If someone has already mentioned this story in a post, I apologise. What do people think about this?.....who wants a seat?

It says Marrocco hopes to flog the format for his tournament to a tv network. Otherwise, he'll produce it himself! Title: Re: Mike Tyson's House and The Poker Game Post by: allym on March 31, 2006, 06:59:24 PM Would be amazin'!
