Offers MichaelTyson.com - Broker

[clasione]

I would work with a broker on MichaelTyson.com -

This site should be very valuable, but I'm not a pro on appraisels...

I don't believe that there is a trade mark on the name itself...

Maybe "Iron Mike Tyson" , but not on his actual name.... Michael Tyson

Mike Tyson is coming back to the ring in June 05, so this site is just going to get busier and more valauble in my opinion...

Is there a rule of thumb on value of celebrity names?

The pope site sold for 150K just recently so this cant be a total loss domain..

Is there a rule of thumb on value of celebrity names?

First Rule of Thumb: A celeb domain name should match a popular celeb's public name. Few people call Jennifer Lopez, Jenny Lopez, just as I would expect not too many folks refer to Mike Tyson as Michael Tyson. To tell you the truth, when I saw your domain, it was the first I had ever thought of Mike Tyson as Michael Tyson.

Second Rule of Thumb: It's difficult to monetize a celeb domain name, without quickly losing the domain name in a WIPO (udrp) action.
