MGM officials mum on Tyson

      Three days before Saturday's heavyweight bout between champion Evander Holyfield and challenger Mike Tyson, the No. 2 man at the MGM Grand Hotel spoke of his willingness to negotiate a new multifight deal with Tyson's camp.
      On Sunday, in the aftermath of Tyson's disqualification for biting Holyfield, MGM Grand officials weren't talking.
      Just days ago, MGM Grand Inc. President Alex Yemenidjian said he wanted to meet with promoter Don King to extend the MGM's 2 1/2-year relationship with Tyson and Showtime cable television.
      Yemenidjian said Wednesday he hoped to start negotiations before Tyson's sixth and final fight scheduled under the March 1995 agreement.
      Saturday's bout was the fifth of the six fights.
      "The Tyson deal has been very profitable for us," Yemenidjian said. "If we had to do it all over we would do it in a flash."
      However Sunday, MGM director of public relations Bill Doak said the MGM had, "No comment on the Tyson situation."
      MGM Grand spokesman Jack Leone said Yemenidjian was unavailable for comment.
      King spokesman Michael Marley said Sunday his boss hoped to meet with MGM executives after the Nevada Athletic Commission holds a meeting Tuesday to discuss the Tyson situation.
      "He's re-energized, but a lot of things have to be sorted out," Marley said of King. "I'm sure the respective partners will have to get together and discuss the future."
      Tyson's contract with Showtime lasts another year and a half.
      Showtime executive producer Jay Larkin, who earlier said Showtime was negotiating with Don King Productions to extend the contract, did not return phone messages Sunday.
