Possible Holyfield and Tyson rematch?

Can anyone tell me why this should happen?

According to a Guardian report, former heavyweight boxing champions Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield are in discussions for a third match between the two fighters. Their infamous second fight in 1997 ended in disgrace when Tyson, bit off a chunk of Holyfield's ear - which he then spat to the canvas.

It's been a rocky road for Tyson, 41, since becoming the youngest heavyweight champion in history in 1986, dealing with financial and legal problems, as well as a number of personal demons.

Holyfield, 45, has been considered by many as a dignified boxer who represents the the positive traditions of the sport. However, there is concern that he is putting his health at risk trying to pursue another title at this juncture of his career.
