During one scene in the show, Tyson approaches Goldin with an interesting proposition. He wants to fight for a certain item in Goldin’s collection, a red Muhammad Ali glove with gold writing. Goldin is taken aback and hesitant, insisting that he would never want to fight Tyson. Tyson persists, saying, “Come on, man. Give it up, dude.”
Goldin sees the potential for a mutually beneficial business relationship with Tyson, so he suggests they play rock-paper-scissors instead. Tyson agrees, secretly confident in his own abilities. After two rounds of rock-paper-scissors, the score is tied at one each. They play one final round, and Tyson emerges victorious. Goldin hands over the prized gloves to Tyson, who is ecstatic at the addition to his already impressive collection.
