Mike Tyson: Eddie Hearn says potential return poses moral dilemma for promoters
Tyson too has previously said he was pondering a return to compete in exhibition matches.
The two former world heavyweight champions are not the only fighters who have been linked with returns during the coronavirus lockdown, with the likes of Carl Froch and Floyd Mayweather facing questions about potential bouts. Asked why several names have been linked with a return, Hearn said: "Money. Fighters and legends are seeing other fighters make money for fights they think are insignificant.
"Tyson isn't think about wanting to come back to add to my legacy. He's thinking how much I can get, simple. The answer is quite a lot of money."
