Yep.  Unfortunately,  they can only fine him 10% ($3 million) of his purse, 
but they're talking about changing that to 50% in the legislature (won't do 
any good for this fight).
A local columnist had a good idea.  He said if Tyson was REALLY sorry about 
what he had did, he would donate his entire purse (what's left of it) to 
charity.  It's not like he needs the money, and he certainly doesn't DESERVE 
it.
