Not the first time a fighter who made millions got broke. And wont be the last. But shame he got broke so young. If he was 90 and broke it might not matter so much.
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."
Suppose hes got to work still.Comment

Thats the sad reality of the sport, they milk you for all you got, and then toss you to the side when you are done. In any case Mike made alot of money so it is inexcusable that it happened, but I saw this interview with Kevin Rooney where he was saying that Mike's biggest mistake was not listening to Cus and staying with the people that he had told him to stay with. He was saying that if he ad listened to Bill Cayton, that Tyson woul have exceeded Jordan in endorsements. He made a god point that when he was with Cayton, you were seeingthe endoresement deas like Pepsi, Kodak, Nintendo, etc but after he left wit Kng you didn't see hat anymore, as Don had no interest in Tyson making any money unless he was getting a cut. Here is the interview below for those that want to see it, part 3 is where he starts talking about the money aspect if you just want to jump to that, but I recommend watching the whole hing:
