The pay-per-view fight was originally scheduled for the month of September to be played at the Dignity Health Sports Park in California but was later postponed to November and is expected that it would be held at the same venue. His opponent, Roy Jones Jr threatened to pull out of the exhibition match unless he was compensated for the extra weeks added to the schedule as he claimed that it would affect his other plans and business. 

While Mike Tyson felt that this was extra time to get into shape, his opponent Jones was unhappy with the event organizers suspending the big "Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr" match by 11 weeks. Roy Jones felt that the delay is his biggest issue as he has other commitments to fulfill and that he isn't a full-time boxer now.
