Mike Tyson Press Conference Quotes

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Mike Tyson: “I lived not too far from here. I’m happy to be here. It’s going to be great.”

Why are you doing this? “I was a little overweight, smoking too much, and I started to get in shape. I was training in Las Vegas and 2000 people a day were there. Why not do an exhibition? Sterling suggested we do a world tour.” [details]

I don't think I would... Just because its Mike Tyson doesn't mean I would pay money to see him fight when he was 40... I might pay 25 to meet him and train with him lol Thats about it.

[Truth]

Yes.......

LOL. Its true, Tyson still sells. Maybe not like use to, but he still sells.

You know, if he stays on message about being retired and purely touring around doing exhibitions of sparring and training I might actually go support him. My fear is that someone's going to offer him too much $$$ and he'll go back in the ring and humiliate himself once again.
He deserves a little peace and I don't know where or how he'll find it.
