MGM Grand Chips Removed After Holyfield VS Tyson

Today we talk about how two different $100 casino chips were removed after the Holyfield VS Tyson II fight happened in 1997. The sequence of events that followed after the fight was something that most people probably wouldn't have thought would happen. This was the famous "Bite Fight" and many of the people in the arena were not happy with the call and how the fight went. So, they had tons of fury inside of them. At one point a security gate fell down which many thought was a gun shot so they started running as fast as possible. It was said that dealers were hiding underneath the tables with customers and people were flipping tables over, grabbing chips and doing whatever they could to possibly leave with some money. It was said that the tables were closed for a few hours afterwards, restaurants boarded their doors, the theme park was fully closed. The strip shut down for a while as well and it was chaos. The chips were taken out of circulation and new ones were ordered. Hope you enjoy!
