if you're black and strong, you're a rapist if you're Italian and have a beautiful suit on, you're a mobster if you're Jewish and bright, you're a tax cheat LOL, classic xD
Reporter "how much money did you have" "are you surprised you didnt kill anyone" "how bad were you drug and alcohol problems?" She is wanting all the juicy gossip and it would be easy for someone with a big ego to make a big deal of themselves. But he plays it all down. Respect to him.
He can be scary and then so sweet and cute. The duality of him. I think everyone has that fight but he is on an amplified level. It resonates with me. Maybe that strikes a chord with others.
When studying astrology, l looked up Tyson's chart, it said Cancer Sun and Jupiter, which means sensitive, loves family, children, can have excess rage if provoked...his big round muscles are typical, with the big "pinchers" 😄 Like Vin Diesel, also a Cancer. Then it said Leo Merc, so talks and thinks like Ali, "l am the greatest", has natural charisma, is a star. Then Gemini Mars and Venus, which were probably visible more in his youth, fast with his hands, promiscuous in love, loves chatting and arguing. Then it showed a perfect mutable grand cross. Which means philosophical, has a great mind, curious about many subjects, and a true savant, now this made me think "hm, quite random, l guess astrology isn't right in this case", but it turns out to be true. He has tried to be a philosopher for a long time, and noone took him seriously, but now he's becoming that. Amazing.
the money isn't the cause, the demons were already there. It wasn't like he was a good kid growing up. He was arrested 30 or 40 times according to him. He had no money growing up, he wasn't an angel. A bad person is going to be a bad person regardless of how much money they have in their pockets or bank accounts. He openly admits to robbing old ladies as a kid. He wasn't arrested because he was a black kid, he was arrested for committing crimes. He admits he was not a good person growing up and still isn't a good person.
Here they had one of the most prolific boxers of all time and they focus on asking Mike Tyson superficial questions regarding his delinquent choices as a kid and his loss of money?! Not surprised though coming from CNN 😒
Even his eyebrows are starting to form like Cus's...I think it's a spiritual and emotionalbond with them two.Mr. Tyson is very interesting..His upbringing is the story of most people in a poor community,who has a horrible home life of abuse at home,being bullied at school,acting out because of pain,ignorance and learning bad behavior. The financial despair while living in an meager financial situation is regardless of color.
2:44 Kid: (at school)............ " My dads Mike Tyson ". Everyone else: " yeah course he mate..............course he is" Kid: (after school) * gets picked up by dad........Mike Tyson " Told ya ".
+jack johnson not the best HW ever. Top 10 but probably not even top 5. Ali, Louis, Lennox, Holmes, Frazier, Foreman, Holyfield. All of them accomplished more at HW and beat better opponents
Mike really HATES being asked about his passed. A lot of demons, Come on reporters should know this, the rape situation is a very very sensitive topic, Mike handles it well but it kills him!...out of respect I wouldn't go to that part of his life, I'd ask him more about his current state, him full time father, getting involved different projects, like come on! make the man feel happy...ask him more about his new self.
Mike had to go thru all the chaos and tests the.media attacks u name it! Not to mention blowing 100's of millions!...with plenty of help! He bounced back from all that! That's whAt champions do!!! Overcome adversity!
AllPro777 yes, alot of promotors give the pro boxers endless cash of 1000 to 30,000 walking around money, by end of month its only 50,000 say, and the boxer feels rich, and doesnt see the 10 to 60 million dollar loss and robbery. like politicians, promoters are pro liars, the worst/best
Mike was a buy he still is a little boy in his head I would say , he never grow up. he couldn't handle mentally money and fame, The question is was he going to beat Holyfield to the title if he was going the right way...? No I don't think so Mike could knock anybody out first 6 rounds after that it is a fight real fight to stay focused and keep hitting hard , Holyfield could do that for 12 rounds but Mike no Iam sorry ,but a great champ Mike was , he was a champ because he wanted to be a rich he got rich and he got messed up
" People aren't born humble, human beings have to be humbled in order to appreciate the value of life."
Mike Merrill: I Truly understand that quote of his all to we'll.. long live the Champ!!!
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽So damn true!!
Mike Merrill he's always dropping jewels
Life experiences especially tough ones can make you humble
RZA wishdom
My goodness. He has become a great man of wisdom, so humble. Always a champ Mr. Tyson! God Bless!
I can't say it enough, but looking at his life and all that came with it, much respect for this great great man.
if you're black and strong, you're a rapist
if you're Italian and have a beautiful suit on, you're a mobster
if you're Jewish and bright, you're a tax cheat
LOL, classic xD
" Are you surprised you didn't kill anybody (in the ring)?" That question was inappropriate but Mike answered it perfectly.
Mike Tyson: "The Genghis Khan of Boxing"
My hero, now more than ever.
I think Mike has a very important perspective about stereo types that the interviewers often over look when he speaks about them.
I love Mike Tyson !!! He's been my hero sense I was about 16 years old ! That was 1986.....
It's hard to believe he's the same guy. He's a complex character who is endlessly intriguing.
Mike was and still a BEAST,he was a freaking animal in the ring.
Mikes past is past, lets look at his today and tomorrow.
Reporter
"how much money did you have"
"are you surprised you didnt kill anyone"
"how bad were you drug and alcohol problems?"
She is wanting all the juicy gossip and it would be easy for someone with a big ego to make a big deal of themselves. But he plays it all down. Respect to him.
He used to hate those questions. 20 years ago he would have cussed her out. Mike Tyson has shown more growth than anyone I've ever seen.
I love Mike, proper human being
still see only one Champ...'Tyson"👑
He can be scary and then so sweet and cute. The duality of him. I think everyone has that fight but he is on an amplified level. It resonates with me. Maybe that strikes a chord with others.
God bless you and keep you, Mike. You are so worthy of his love and grace. And my admiration.
I enjoyed his stand up act on stage.
Mike Tyson was the best and still is the best in life.
This is a great interview.
he is the best boxer ever in history of wbc
You made it Mike and we are all proud of you! God bless you!
LOL the fake smile his son made at 2:41
The One and Only Mike Tyson
Mike Tyson is such a polarizing figure
Rock on Mike
Rock on
I am just blown away with how profound his words are !! For somebody who didn't get a lot of education he is amazingly erudite.
Great interview, I wish Mike still lived in CT and Rachel looks great!
5:52 I don't why but his face kills me ahahahah
He's thinking, "ONE count? That's cute. If you only knew." He probably had a brick of cocaine in his pocket at the time.
There is 1 n only 1 tyson in this world.we wish to come back a boxer like mike tyson again.
He's right. Life will humble you
he nailed her after the interview
Mike is such a wise man i love mike he the man
wow mike you have some beautiful children.......

I love Mike Tyson
money puts a lot of demons in you....well said. no one can serve God and Mammon.
the money isn't the cause, the demons were already there. It wasn't like he was a good kid growing up. He was arrested 30 or 40 times according to him. He had no money growing up, he wasn't an angel. A bad person is going to be a bad person regardless of how much money they have in their pockets or bank accounts. He openly admits to robbing old ladies as a kid.

"I just hope I'm around to meet that guy.."
Mike tyson on what he thinks he'll be like in 20 years.
Here they had one of the most prolific boxers of all time and they focus on asking Mike Tyson superficial questions regarding his delinquent choices as a kid and his loss of money?! Not surprised though coming from CNN 😒
I love him...so...much.
the other Mr. T, Mike Tyson!
I hope you are around Mike!!
I love him! He is beautiful!
Mike just underlined some true facts and science.
Absolute ledgend.
Glorious
he is amazing...he ripped guys apart in the ring....
As Mike goes into old age, he will become more like Cus...
Even his eyebrows are starting to form like Cus's...I think it's a spiritual and emotionalbond with them two.Mr. Tyson is very interesting..His upbringing is the story of most people in a poor community,who has a horrible home life of abuse at home,being bullied at school,acting out because of pain,ignorance and learning bad behavior.

6:44 thank fot that information Mike! 😶
such a great man
I love mike
iron mike is the youngest man ever to win a heavyweight title 👍
I think he is the youngest olympic gold medallist too.
King Tyson
+raja miah You have a beautiful chest
Coolest realest guy in boxing
2:44
Kid: (at school)............ " My dads Mike Tyson ".
Everyone else: " yeah course he mate..............course he is"
Kid: (after school) * gets picked up by dad........Mike Tyson " Told ya ".
Question, where he be, ON TOP
"They'll follow you into internity!"
That commercial clip was funny.
-What do you think of a Mike Tyson 20 years from now, do you know where you'll be?
- About 6 feet under probably
Iron Mike Tyson the greatest Heavey weight Boxer of all time, you did good Mike :)
How did Tiger fart not make it in the Hangovers?
3:03 ''Do you have any sense''? Freudian slip.
The greatest heavyweight of all time. No one will ever have the belt at the age of not long being 20 years of age
+jack johnson
not the best HW ever. Top 10 but probably not even top 5.
Ali, Louis, Lennox, Holmes, Frazier, Foreman, Holyfield.
All of them accomplished more at HW and beat better opponents
That 1.51 punch was his autogram
what are y'all talking bout. that was a good intetview. what else could she ask him that hasnt alteady been asked ? she kept it light .
Mike train the youth please
Rachel Nichols has been around for awhile
Rachel will get it.
Mike really HATES being asked about his passed. A lot of demons, Come on reporters should know this, the rape situation is a very very sensitive topic, Mike handles it well but it kills him!...out of respect I wouldn't go to that part of his life, I'd ask him more about his current state, him full time father, getting involved different projects, like come on! make the man feel happy...ask him more about his new self.
He wrote a book and did a Broadway show talking all about his past, and he OPENS talking about the rape trial. I think he's okay with it.
Mike had to go thru all the chaos and tests the.media attacks u name it! Not to mention blowing 100's of millions!...with plenty of help! He bounced back from all that! That's whAt champions do!!! Overcome adversity!
***on . Now I look like the dummie.
Hope he doesn't bite Charlie sheens HIV ear lmao
He had $400,000,000 at his peak, his current estimated new worth is $3,000,000...
Don King had 99% of it, Mike had about 20,000 on him per month on average
That's all kinds of messed up, smh.
AllPro777 yes, alot of promotors give the pro boxers endless cash of 1000 to 30,000 walking around money, by end of month its only 50,000 say, and the boxer feels rich, and doesnt see the 10 to 60 million dollar loss and robbery. like politicians, promoters are pro liars, the worst/best
AGUIRD1 Floyd Mayweather has control over all his money.
great, Oscar too, and Roy Jones and Foreman. thats 4 of how many?
Are you talking out of order?
Haa
she is terrible at giving interviews
