Did they write letters and wait on a response then send the picture to newspapers to print out

Dial up wasn't that long ago, and it would piss you off trying to talk shit and someone picks up phone in other room.
 
They called each other out for a fight at the beach, and then the word spread.

the internet, specifically twitter and i guess the pressure to market oneself makes everyone act like high schoolers
 
Didn't Mike Tyson like to use carrier pigeons or am I remembering the story wrong?
 
Usenet was a big one. Other bulletin board systems. Using a dial up modem and phone line. For text only it was adequate.
 
They struck deals with dictators, flew the whole circus to a remote African country, invited journos from all over the world to come see the fight and report, delayed the fight so that all those journos were there for like a month and then had the fight.

No that's right. He sent pigeons to his upcoming opponents with a photo of his most recent victim attached to it's leg. Tyson was nuts!!
 
Frank Shamrock was eating a salad right outside Tito Ortiz's locker room at UFC 22.
 
they did this crazy ass thing where they fought each other and the talking didnt matter if you could hold up your end......crazy idea right
 
Wandy and crazy horse set the standard. Conor and khabib are modern era Carlos Newtons in comparison
