Inin visits ex-officer in jail DALLAS Nearly a year after Johnnie Hernandez was arrested for hiring a hit man to kill Michael Irvin, the Dallas Cowboys receiver spent more than hour meeting with the former policeman in prison.

What was said remained between them. Irvin could not be reached for comment Wednesday, and Hernandez's lawyer had not spoken to his client since Tuesday's meeting. Hernandez was arrested June 27, 1996, on charges of solicitation of capital murder for paying a man $2,960 to kill Irvin. The man was actually an undercover drug agent, and the transaction was videotaped. Hernandez, 29, believed Irvin had threatened the policeman's girlfriend, topless dancer Rachelle Smith, not to testify at Irvin's felony drug possession trial.

Days after her boyfriend's arrest, Smith took the stand outside the jury's presence. Irvin pleaded no contest and is on probation. sistant coach. 42. Denver (from Indiana).

That was Tyson's first fight since his release from prison after serving three years on a rape conviction Larkin said Showtime-SET has a contract with Holyfield that "goes beyond this fight" As for Tyson, it has another if wfN i I The Associated Press LAS VEGAS Mike Tyson calls his rematch with Evander Holyfield "probably the biggest fight in history." Jay Larkin of Showtime calls the bout Saturday night in the MGM Grand Garden the "biggest fight ever in every respect" In boxing legend, however, it has yet to and might not take its place alongside such heavyweight bouts as Jack Johnson-Jim Jeffries, the Gene Tunney-Jack Dempsey rematch, the second Joe Louis- in this age of sports and enters tainment, the fight is indeed huge. "If you believe the projections I've read, this fight will gross $130 million," said Larkin, the man behind boxing on Showtime and its pay-per-view arm, SET.

"It's one of the biggest sporting events ever." Holyfield will make at least $35 million, the largest single-event payday for any athlete or entertainer. Promoter Don King has said Tyson will make $30 million, although his purse originally was announced as $20 million. The first fight, in which Holy-field won the WBA heavyweight title by stopping Tyson in the 11th round Nov. 9, grossed approximately $100 million, with the pay-per-view revenue from $1.6 million buys producing close to $80 million, according to Larkin. Larkin said he thought the projection of 1.8 million pay-per-view buys at an average of $49.95 seemed sound.

"I certainly think it's going to beat 1.6 million buys," he said. Other income includes for eign television rights and the live gate. "Anywhere from 10 to 20 percent of the worldwide gross comes from foreign television," Larkin said. The MGM Grand Garden is sold out, with ticket prices at $1,500, $1,000, $800, $699, $400 and $200, and the gate will be more than $14 million. The hotel also has put on sale 3,500 closed-circuit television seats at a price of $75.

It will be Tyson's fifth fight on a six-fight deal with the MGM Grand, which started Tyson Holyfield Max Schmeling fight and the Muhammad Ali -Joe Frazier fights. Larkin correctly qualifies it as "the fight of the times." And, in the context of pay-per-view year ana a nan left in its three-year deal with him, with options in place. "We're pretty confident Mike Tyson and Showtime will be around for a while," he said. "Quite awhile.".
