Mike Tyson Wasn’t Able To See Mayweather Vs McGregor Because Of LeBron James

What does LeBron James have to do with Mike Tyson watching a fight? Do they have the same plug? Did LeBron snatch Iron Mike’s ticket?

It’s much simpler. As expected, there was enough room for both LeBron James and Mike Tyson in the arena for the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight. Both of them even had very good seats, which shouldn’t be surprising.

But unfortunately for Tyson, LeBron was seated exactly in front of him. You get the point. The 5’10 boxing legend had to sit behind the 6’8 4-time MVP. This is the reason Tyson had to watch large parts of the mega-fight on the Jumbotron because he just couldn’t see over James. Tyson told DJ Whoo Kid on The Whoolywood Shuffle:

 

“Listen, he’s around 10 foot tall. So when he stood up, I looked up at the fight on the ceiling. They had the little tubes on the ceiling, so I watched the ceiling and said ‘God, this guy is tall.'”
