"I'd get in the ring with Tyson for $3.5 million and last longer than Spinks did. And I'm 44 years old," Dan Haupt announced to the Associated Press on fight night.
WELL, while others who shelled out anywhere from $2000 for ringside seats in Atlantic City to $30 for special pay-per-view arrangements shook their heads in disgust after the 10-count ended, Haupt took a cue from P.T. Barnum. If Tyson could make $22 million and Spinks $13 million...
Dan Haupt, who has perfected a powerful "Over the Rainbow" uppercut, guarantees that he would last longer in the ring than Michael Spinks. And he would do it for $9.5 million less.
Gentlemen, let's face the facts. Tyson, at 22 years old, is unbeatable. He showed that against Spinks. It's time to have some fun with that very simple fact.
Unlike Spinks, Haupt has a realistic strategy, and he's not afraid to unveil it.
