"Some people who love boxing might love Mike Tyson, but people outside of the sport are generally repulsed by him and therefore, repulsed by the sport"

About this Quote

This quote by Dick Schaap speaks with the duality of Mike Tyson's public personality. While some people who are enthusiastic about boxing might love Tyson, those who are not familiar with the sport are often repulsed by him and, as a result, repulsed by the sport itself. This is likely due to Tyson's questionable habits both in and out of the ring, which has been well-documented in the media. Tyson's track record has been stained by his previous actions, and this has had an unfavorable result on the general public's perception of boxing. Tyson's tradition is a complex one, and this quote talks to the dichotomy of his public image. While some might love him, others are repulsed by him and, as a result, the sport of boxing.
