Well what did he think Dr. Phil was going to do?

Evander Holyfield is pulling out from appearing on Dr. Phil's show to discuss his troubled marriage to wife Candi after a private meeting in Phil's Beverly Hills home went awry.

"The truth is Evander did not like Dr. Phil and what he was proposing," says a source. "He felt he was totally man-bashing him. Despite all of Dr. Phil's assurances there was a big clash of personalities and Evander simply didn't want to do it.

After the disastrous meeting, Dr. Phil's people were making desperate phone calls to Evander to try and get him to reconsider, but the former boxer isn't interested. The source continues:

“The truth is there was no big money deal on the table. Evander and his camp were simply trying to rebuild his image after the media fallout from his fight with Candi.

"He’s not the type of guy who likes to feel bullied or intimidated and he felt that was what Dr. Phil was trying to do and that it wouldn’t help his marriage one iota."

We think he probably made the right choice. He and his wife should go to REAL therapy if they want to sort out their marriage!

      I'd like to see Evander punch Dr. Bald-Annoying-Fucker hard right in the kisser and shut that obnoxious mouth up once and for all –

      Sounds to me like 2 has beens that collaberated with an idea to make partial comebacks to remind the public there still alive… I bet Holyfield decided when he was getting "man bashed" he may take the negative end of the cake, but then again who really knows if this crap is true…its not like we kick it with either of these two :)

      Dr Phil's a Douche so is the whole pumpkin headed family. Glad Evander saw the light!

      Dr Puffhead isn't even a Dr–he should be put in the ring with Evander for a couple seconds–that is about how long the blubber butt would last with a real man..

      missing the main point. Evander doesn't want to hear that he is at fault in any situation. You honestly feel if he feels bullied by Dr. Phil and is embarassed by showing the truth on nat'l television that he's going to be helped by a therapist? Please, the guy's a douche and isn't ready to change.

      he's an abuser. he beat his wife. he's a macho heavy-weight belt holder - of course he didn't like answering to phil. phil does not let abusive men get away with anything.

      too bad evander turned out to be punk coward.

      Good call on Evander's part. They need to see a real professional, not this desperate celebrity.
