Tyson- "I'm on the verge of dying..."

Can totally understand this.

 

I honestly think he's just being Mike Tyson (the Character) to build interest in his promotional company. The day after this interview he had a story on the front page of CNN.com. That wouldn't have happened without his "revelation".

Mike extended his career by quite a few years by giving weird press conferences and acting like a bad ass unpredictable nutcase. It sold fights.

Once he gets out of the boxing business he is laughing, going on wrestling, making movies, going on Oprah, going on freaking Broadway, one man show across the US. Happy go lucky Mike without a care in the world. Basically acting like a normal human being.

He's now a promoter. His job is to put asses in the seats. So he does it the only way he knows how. He has a weird press conference, laces it with profanity, and goes back to being something of a weirdo with mental problems who will say anything.

Consider the fact that all Mike has done since retirement is become a trained actor. He's been in Hollywood movies and his own show on Broadway.

If he could get back trainign with Rooney he could STILL dominate.

 

Ahh... the Mantra!

 

Rooney & Tyson could dominate an AA meeting.

 

That's not true, Pavlik would **** Tyson up for eating all the donuts.

 

How did this pan out ?

 

Jane Mansfield did not have a 21" waist. Those (most measurement) numbers, certainly the very low ones, are exaggerated. It is unlikely that she even had the 22' waist that "everyone new/ about here. But it is said she had over a 160 IQ, which johnny Carson called her on. http://www.rogerebert.com/interviews/jayne-mansfield-1933-1967-the-girl-couldnt-help-it

I see no good in dissing woman who get any body art & all spiritual & cultural aspirations & tributes often behind it.

 

He's still alive.:yep

 

notice the incidents started piling up when he met Givens. LOL. Cus and then Cayton/Jacobs/Lott had him on the straight and narrow for awhile

 

Well, you do know the Klitschkos have long been linked to the Ukrainian mafia, right?

By:Eugene Girin | March 05, 2014

Vitali "Dr. Ironfist" Klitschko was born to an exclusively Russian-speaking family in Soviet Central Asia where his father served as an air force officer. His father later served at the site of Chernobyl's nuclear disaster and eventually succumbed to cancer as a result.

In a German-made documentary authorized and promoted by the Klitschko Brothers (Vitali's younger sibling Wladimir [note the Germanized spelling] is the second longest reigning world heavyweight champion ever), the siblings talk to their parents and each other only in Russian. In fact, Klitschko came to Ukraine at the age of fourteen in 1985 and learned to proficiently speak Ukrainian only in his thirties.

According to Klitschko himself, his late father Vladimir was a hardcore communist. So hardcore, that when the young Vitali, then a kickboxing champion, visited Florida during the last years of the Soviet Union, his father doubted his stories about American abundance and fired back with Soviet propaganda. One had to be very devoted to communist dogma to believe those kind of things during glasnost and perestroika.

Vitali Klitschko's life entered the shadows between the collapse of the Soviet Union and the beginning of his professional boxing career in 1996. Officially, in those years, he was boxing as an amateur and attending university. However, his longtime friend, the wealthy German expatriate Falk Nebiger described the Klitschko brothers dressed in tracksuits, driving in a fashionably colored Lada. The dark gray color of the car (known as "wet asphalt") and the tracksuit were instantly recognizable status symbols of post-Soviet thugs and racketeers.

For the last several years, Ukrainian media has reported that Klitschko was an associate of notorious Kiev crime bosses Andrey Borovik and Viktor Rybalko who were gunned down in 2000 and 2005 respectively. Reportedly, Borovik even introduced Klitschko to the infamous boxing promoter Don King. In the documentary, Klitschko coyly mentioned that he was offered a position as a mob enforcer, but turned it down.

You also see Rybalko with the Klitschkos when they go to New York to meet Don King. He's the one who talked them out of signing with him. (You see him around the 3 minute mark looking at the Don King painting and walking around.)

Now they deny knowing Rybalko, since he was gunned down.

 

Whoa, dude. You mean some boxers knew underworld figures? Stop the presses!

 

I know. And they speak five languages. :good
