Leon Spinks passes away at the age of 67

That sucks. Even though he lost the fight to Tyson (in the first round) that fight was the first time I had ever heard of pay per view (I was young). I have never ordered a ppv sporting event and never will, but what a game changer (I doubt that was actually the first one ever, just the first time I ever heard of it).

Michael spinks lost to Tyson. His brother Leon died recently.

I remember thinking like holy shit that's a lot of money to pay for less than one round of action! I don't know what the wages were were back then, but I do remember the ppv being really expensive (or really expensive to a middle school kid anyway).

Oh shit my bad with mixing up the names.

RIP Leon Spinks. He was one of the great fighters of his era.
