...stars, however, take the program surprisingly seriously. After getting KO'd in the show's second round, former heavyweight boxing champ Evander Holyfield fumed, "They told me it was about popularity.

Nobody wants to admit that we will be watching the fight like we cannot pull ourselves away from train wrecks and car crashes - if Tyson is a man-made disaster, we want to witness the devastation. Tyson himself cannot say whether he will control himself. He predicts a K.O. within three rounds...
