Can Mike Tyson play poker? If so, is he any good? Imagine the ratings draw if the former heavyweight boxing champ were to appear at the final table of a televised poker tournament; it would surely be a cash bonanza for whomever was hosting it. To avoid the risk of Tyson busting out early on in the tournament, the easisest thing to do would be to send him an invitation, which is what English businessman Dominic Marrocco is planning.
Dominic Marrocco is putting together a televised poker tournament that combines reality TV with poker TV as well as the spice of Las Vegas and boxing. The final table event is going to take place on the mansion grounds, and actually offers up the mansion as the grand prize. There will be four players, those who make it through the tournament, as well as Iron Mike and Marrocco himself. |
