    Mike Tyson Says He's "Totally Broke"



    Mike Tyson told the ladies of The View that he's "totally broke" after excessive spending and having "a lot of fun."

    The retired boxer says he is now struggling to make ends meet and is living paycheck to paycheck. However, he's absolutely content living with his third wife Lakiha ****er and their 16-month-old daughter, Milan.
    Tyson says:

    "I'm totally destitute and broke. But I have an awesome life, I have an awesome wife who cares about me. I'm totally broke. I had a lot of fun. It (going broke) just happened. I'm very grateful. I don't deserve to have the wife that I have; I don't deserve the kids that I have, but I do, and I'm very grateful."

    Aside from the movies, he should also sing part time for paychecks.

      HBO should try him out as a commentator if Tyson wants to do it, he had really good insight the few times he did work as one.

          This dude has been throwing away money since the 90s, so I can't even feel sorry for him. This is one of his habits that ruined his career.

            I doubt HBO would hire him but I have said for the longest that Showtime should have added him to their team as he could give their broadcasting team a big boost much like Charles Barkley did for TNT in the NBA. I mean let's face it, when Mike talks people listen, I think fans would tune into fights just to hear him call the matches. It makes so much sense but I guess Mike burnt too many bridges or something.

              HBO should seriously consider it, not only because of his insight but because Tyson might even help ratings, I think some people would tune in just to hear what he has to say or just to see if he goes crazy, not saying he would but casual fans who know of his reputation would probably think he will.

                Hey you're preaching to the choir, thing is though that Mike and HBO kind of split on bad terms back in the early 90's plus he and Larry Merchant have "beef". So I don't see them hiring him but I would love it if it happened. Also why hasn't roach given Mike the chance to work in his camp in the role that Michael Moorer was in? I think that move would take the Pacquiao - Maywearther 24/7 to an even higher level if it were to happen.

                    No idea, maybe he didn't like the experience with Moorer and is worried that something similar might happen with Tyson.
