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

Sounds like Tyson has matured. He had the same vices as a lot of young men his age at the time. Except that he had more access to these things than most men.

Shit, he's 53! If he hasn't matured by now, forget it. Dem hos doe!

It sounds like Tyson is blaming women for his money problems and his other shortcomings.

It's not women he should be blaming, but his own weakness for women.

He chose the people that hung around him. He chose to throw away 300m instead of saving or investing. Don't blame women and hangers on.

Tyson has not matured as a person like I initially perceived.

As much as I like Tyson the boxer. For a person he's just too flawed.

How many men would sell their souls for puzzy
I still haven’t met a man who won’t go out of his way to get laid lol

Oh F#ck ya! Wars have been started over women. It's the man's fault for putting too much emphsis onUssy instead of virtues. We are all weak in that dept

He's blaming himself, not women. It was about women not because of women.

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.

Very thoughtful post. Explains Mike's downfall to a tee.

I never get tired of hearing Tyson's stories.

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!

any guy that is snorting coke all nite will not be able to pop a rod I don't care who he is. a limp soul pole is the result

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.

Why do you think kings and powerful men have harems?

Having a set number of women who are vetted and can be trusted and know their place makes all of the difference.

Well at least he is coming to his senses. He is no longer blaming Don King for a change. That's very good news and it also shows signs of emotional maturity and growth.

Whoa, whoa, whoa guy. Don King deserves a lot of blame for all the fighters he ripped off from Ali, Holmes, Tyson, and just look at what he did to Tim Witherspoon.

He should be in jail for that alone

Don King won't be the first or the last to rip off fighters. Hell! If you look back throughout the history of boxing, all promoters and managers have ripped off their fighters at some point of time.

As a matter of fact, many of the fighters were outright owned by their managers and promoters. They were carved up into percentages like a turkey on Thanksgiving day and many still do to this very day.

However, most of the fighters are unaware of this because they are uneducated; Who can hardly read or write or count their own money.

Nowadays, it's done very subtilely. Most promoters know how to skim the money off the top without being detected and also the fighters of today are just too damn eager, lazy, trusting and naive in allowing others to handle their affairs rather than handling them themselves.

Just ask Manny Pacquiao about how Bob Arum had ripped him off for years.

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.

I read this article where he said he had sex with four women before the fight and multiples days prior leading up to the fight. Said his mind was on girls and party and wasn't training. Said he tried to spar, but quit after the 2nd round because he was too exhausted.
