With enough money, anything is possible. Even reconciling Mike Tyson and the man whose ear he bit off 16 years ago.
This completely mad but undeniably brilliant advert for Foot Locker not only features Holyfield hugging Tyson for returning his ear, but crowds of people cheering for Denis Rodman "never coming back",
If you're not 100% up to speed on American sporting culture, Tyson bit off part of Holyfield's ear in a huge, high-profile 1997 event that saw him suspended and fined. Denis Rodman is coaching North Korea's basketball team.
Craig Sager is a sideline reporter known for his outrageous suits, and Brett Favre is a former NFL quarterback who spent 10 years talking about retiring without actually doing it.
So … how much cash do we reckon it took to get Holyfield there? Or to have Rodman enthusiastically smile while people cheered and someone gleefully shouted "he's never coming back!"?
