This might be better placed in the political forum, feel free to move it if you wish.

I found this and thought it was very special. I admire Romney but this is way over the top. I wonder what his wife things, and I assume that it is like professional wrestling and there is somewhat a script.

Call him a glutton for punishment, but Mitt Romney is looking for another drubbing. But instead of another campaign, Romney is jumping into the ring -- an actual boxing ring -- with ex-heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, a Romney aide confirmed on Monday.
"It will either be a very short fight, or I will be knocked unconscious," Romney told the Salt Lake Tribune.
Romney, 68, will suit up and face the 52-year-old retired boxer for a charity event in Salt Lake City on May 15.
But don't expect a knockout, Romney said the pair will "spar around a little bit," assuring that "it won't be much of a fight."
Proceeds of the event will go to Charity Vision, a charity group founded by a physician and former Mormon missionary aimed at bringing medical care -- mostly eye surgeries -- to impoverished areas of the world.
Romney, a Mormon, has become involved in the organization's charity work, according to the Tribune. Romney ruled out a third presidential bid earlier this year.

Bloviate!!

Thanks it might not generate too much interest in any case. I was trying to be polite under my new policy.

No I expect a fun time raising some money. I expect that Mitt will donate some as well as going into the ring. I can't imagine many other people of his status and political experience even considering doing it for charity.

I hope it gets posted online so I can see it, I might even pay something which I almost never do for internet type things.

I admire him a lot and this only makes it better for me.

So that's why he isn't running again. He's going to pick up Old Timey Boxing!

This will be more scripted than when Mickey Rourke fought that homeless guy in Russia who took a dive.
