It's mostly because of the controversy, the charisma, the personality.
People are still fascinated by his aura of invisibility when he was first coming up, same as they were by Sonny Liston before him.
Tyson had much more charisma then Liston outside of the ring however, and that's translated into interest, while living boxing fans still remember Tyson's first big run of dominance.
