Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson Explains How Wild Lifestyle With Women Cost Him His Fortune

[Bronx2245]

One of the funniest things I ever heard Mike say, was that when he was in Japan for the Douglas fight, he was "eating Japanese women like g****s!" He said his hotel room "looked like a scene from Caligula!" Brutally honest! It wasn't just the women though, it was the ******* he was snorting just to keep up with the women!

Have always thought Tyson was his own worst enemy. He knocked himself off his perch by destroying a good 50% of his capacity.

He was so much better than everyone else in his prime that complacency of biblical proportions set-in and combined with astronomical levels of mental ill-discipline to hit him harder than Holyfield x Lewis.

Such a shame that some people look back and say he struggled the first time someone refused to lay down for him or be intimidated by his aura. As if losing 25lb in Japan in the final build-up to the Buster Douglas fight had no affect on him after abusing his mind and body with reckless living and Class A's.

I'm not justifying him by the way, failing to prepare is preparing to fail. But it's a shame that it takes away from his time when he was at his devastating best, albeit a relatively short time.

True, true, and true. Hearing people say he was nothing more than a bully that succeeded in the sport only through intimidation - and not thru actual fighting skills - isn’t true.

Of course there were scared opponents, but everything Cus taught him centered around being mentally & physically prepared for the most toughest and well prepared of opponents...Holyfield & Lennox got the testosterone depleted jailed out version of an ignorant empty Mike.

Mike even sounds ignorant now relaying those memories. It seems like if he could do it all over again - even with the Robin Givens type leeches hanging around - he would, “cars for all you air headed hoes”

He still sounds like he wishes they’d give out championship belts for bussin’ nuts in voluptuous pea brained chicks! Only if spending the money could be avoided thank you. With gorging yourself out on burgers - while “doing it” as an added bonus.

While Holyfield impregnated everything he touched, he didn’t let it get in the way of his training. Lennox too was dedicated, even getting Steward on board.

But Mike somehow thought that by living in a perpetual harem, his skill set would increase?? The attention must’ve made him feel like a young Saudi Prince, or a young Trump.

Mike chose to forget his money came from staying full time in the gym. Not through oil or real estate, although it must’ve felt that way at times.

I was thinking about George Best while reading this!

Let's hope that Mike, deep- down, feels the same as George about his lost fortune ... money well spent!

You can get pretty far with women without spending all your money. It’s pretty simple actually; be handy, funny and adaptable. And don’t forget to tip the hypnotist.

That’s that fast life!!! Most of us that could it would do it.

I can confirm that the party lifestyle, which basically revolves around women, will break your bank.
No way around it.

Best part Mike didn’t need to buy them sh 1 t let alone cars. His charisma and fame would have carried him

In retrospect Tyson should have just hired two bimbos a week for his needs, pay them each $10,000 a week to be his personal assistants. Fire them when they become boring. And find the next bimbos to hire. If he did this he would be 250-0 now and still champ.
