some trash talkers here don't know the meaning of exhibition, if not they won't be talking from both sides of their mouth, these great guys didn't fight to hurt each other, neither did they fight to win, reason it was declared a draw, they are there to entertain and raise money for charity.
Then what is the essence of calling a fight.

Lol

I like Tyson o but e even him will tell you that he spent his money recklessly.

From 95 - 97 , Tyson earned >100 million dollars alone and by 98 only 6 million dollars was left and he had 10 million dollars in taxes to pay. He literally had to borrow money to pay taxes.

He once cleared an entire rolls Royce collection because the sales guy didn't recognize him and thought he could not afford the one he was asking to buy lol

Pet lions, tigers, prostitutes, Cocaine, cars he gave people as gifts, cash gifts. Don king owing him money. People would Provoke him on purpose so he could react and file a lawsuit. It was crazy man.

He talked all about it in his autobiography
Remove cocaine from your list. Replace with weed

You're talking about Cus D'Amato - the guy who trained him from 13 years to when he was 19. Such a Shame he died Sha. Tyson's story would have been different.

Seems you've read his autobiography?

You're right, Constantine "Cus" D'Amato. Yea, he was exceptional. He was never after Mikes money but his success. Yea, I followed Mikes story a lot. We have some things in common and I have loved him since I was little. I still follow his story to date.

If them get brain damage now

They squandered the money them for use during retirement , now they come dey risk their lives

The fight is to raise money for charity. You should be proud of them. None of them is taking a dollar home. Tyson makes a revenue of $1m per month from cultivating marijuana

Lol

You don't know what you're talking about. Tyson went to rehab for Cocaine and alcohol addiction over three times in the early 2000s. It was only as recent as 2008 that he kicked the habit due to what would have been really terrible for his family. He said it with his mouth


The thing is Cocaine easily leaves the system and wouldn't be traceable unlike weed that can stay as long as a week

That's nice. I've always been enamoured by Mohammed Ali, it was only until recently before I checked Tyson's story. It was really sad. He had it really rough. Mum had to prostitute herself at times, dad was a love-vendor. He was in the streets stealing before he was even 10.

It's a miracle he got to where he was

Gone are those days when tyson is tyson grin now baba wan make money after squandering his fortunes

Everything is not all about money.

Tyson makes just about $1m a month from his marijuana business. And he has signed to give the entire $10m proceeds of this particular fight to charity. He is no longer a "poor" man. Declaring for bankruptcy doesn't necessarily make you one.

He has always been passionate about boxing. And what's wrong in trying to let the whole world know he is still fit?

Once a boxer, always a boxer.

When you don't do your research, you are misinformed. Mike Tyson is rich and he is into cannabis.

Roy Jones was annoying with the hugs. Even as he hasn't had a fight for 15 years, Tyson was as sharp as hell. It was just an exhibition fight, so it doesn't matter who won or lost.
exactly, you clearly watched the match
