I don't care who he snitched on. To cop to 19 murders and be allowed to walk free while you got people doing hard time for a dime bag is disgusting. The American criminal "justice" system is a joke.
With all due respect, couldn't care less. They had money to make and it was made on professional losers and ridiculous bets. Sorry for ruining that for you.
@@n0rvil there was fight rigging in those days. They never needed to rigg a Tyson fight in his prime. Him with Cus in his corner no man on earth was beating him at that time.
no one cares legitimately nobody why would you listen to mike Tyson who has had his head smashed in his whole life and Michael franchise who is a snitch also Sammy is a killer 19 murder 30 years ago Michael would have died disrespecting Sammy and one bullet and mike is gone
@@HeilAmarth And michael barely reacted to that. Sammy didnt put anyone in their place. Who the fuck is scared of him. Sammy is just a rat who put down the gambinos.
It makes me so happy to see Mike getting recognized as the intelligent, humble, and thoughtful person he really is. 30 years ago people thought he was a maniac, natural born killer, but that couldn't be further from the truth. I met Mr. Tyson in a facility in Palm Springs around 2010ish, he was a wonderful human.
This is great, two very wise men who've literally seen and done it all, and they're both incredibly down to earth and humble, and it's because they've got nothing to prove in that regard, they've done it all and lived through it. Interviews and Podcasts such as these are so important. Personally, I think they're equally as important as the drive (I believe in the early-mid 90s up to 2000s) to interview as many of the Holocaust Survivors so that the real truth was not lost when those people died. Like it or not, this is another important part of history, not merely in the US but Globally, and there are lessons to be learned from these guys.
Hey guys, great sit down. Yo, the reason Sammy went down is because Gotti’s apartment was bugged and he was talking about things that should have never been spoken of; and sometimes with Sammy’s name getting mentioned. Sammy said: “What? I got to go to jail for the rest of my life because he couldn’t keep his mouth shut?”. I’m afraid Sammy has a good point there. I’m glad everyone (self included) is trying to live right now (by the grace of God); and God bless.
@@gentlemanjim480 Michael loves to act like he is innocent. He probably has done hits or been involved in hits in that life but got lucky he never got caught.
@@AtomicMushroomz That is probably right, I agree. Doesn’t change anything about the savagery of the murderer Sammy the Bull, who should be rotting in jail.
It's right, Gotti turned on Sammy. He wanted him to take the fall for him. What so he was supposed to. I don't give a fuck about rat talk because I'm not taking the fall for anybody. He did what he did and that's all. It's funny how every interview Mike is on he never did anything wrong, one minute he did 8yrs then the next time it's 5yrs he doesn't even know how long he was in jail. At least Sammy knows he did 20yrs. Mike tries to come off like a saint, he found God, he's a Christian, studied the bible in solitary confinement. Come on. I'll run with Sammy anyday.
You arent fascinated with “that life” you are enthralled (as is the rest of the world) by anyone with immense charisma. Mike could have been a chef and you would have been fascinated with food.
Fear is always the biggest motivator I've seen in my life. 25 to life is huge to deal with. It basically takes your life away from you. You safe your own morality an that is hard thing to do. Being in prison is a horrible thing, its like being in your own personal hell.
True but murdering people and raping people will not get any sympathy from me. The only reason Tyson didn't truly pay for his raping in prison is because he's famous. That's it. To me he's not special and very lucky. He should have at the very least been handled in the same way that he handled that girl he raped.
I don't get why people don't realize the death penalty is a way out of punishment. If I ever got a life sentence I would petition to get myself the death penalty. I would choose death any day and twice on Tuesday rather than spend the rest of my life in prison.
You can tell Tyson has a lot of Respect for Michael. And it's strange, because usually Tyson's presence commands any single room he enters, but Michaels presence isn't that far off. Both are cold killers, just from different worlds. One from pro prize fighting, one from being a Captain in one of the five Mafia families.
There's a reason why they enacted the RICO Act.. Love gangster movies but we all know the pain and suffering they cause to communities.. lets not even pretend these people dont deserve those draconian penalties lol
A lot of people in the comments section are glorifying these scumbags. I find gangsters fascinating too. But it’s disturbing when people look up to these lowlifes. The worst ones are the ones who are talking about how Sammy is better than Michael because the latter isn’t a killer, as if not being a psychopathic killer is something to ashamed of. Obviously Michael was a bad guy too, but he’s clearly the lesser of two evils.
Why? Go to Brooklyn now, or the bronx, in their day it was safe.. you could walk around as a woman, now you’re lucky if a BLK dude doesn’t assault you..
When sammy and michael were going at it and michael said stop with the balloney sammy and sammy said what kinda words balloney,street guys dont use words like balloney 😂😂 michael was stunned didnt know what to say 😂 on youtube,funny
Yaaaass, I was hooked on all his videos, after seeing him in one, so I was very familiar and always intrigued and admired, amazed and attracted to his intellect, but when he hit that bologna line to Sammy, I cracked up it was so corny and outdated , it made him human to me that's how admiration I had inspite if his past life.....he is true to the game and his integrity played a big part.in his survival I believe.
This is why Sammy had so much beef with Michael when they did their show together. Michael called him a little man with a Napoleon complex who should still be in prison 😂
Yep, but Sammy was a rat and the fact that he snitched on a famous Mob Boss. He might be out of prison but that does not give him a clean slate with the Mob families. He sealed his faith when he started to snitch and kept on snitching to the Feds. Can you imagine spending day after day with paranoia, sleepless nights and constant fear people like Sammy must have, knowing that the Mob has a contract out on their heads. Look at the death of Whitey Bulgar where he almost died of old age in Prison. The Mob manage to get to him after all those years and apparently he died a painful death.
@@mariuskuhrau761 True. Though the Whitey Bulger killing is the exception these days. Generally it seems like guys who flipped (“rats”) are free to live public lives without to much worry in this day and age. Though you never know…
All these mafia guys just be hating on Sammy even though he was at a higher level than any other of these TH-camrs former gangsters. Sammy never hid why he flipped he never physically hid who he was and still wasn't touched . Now Sammy is more successful than any of these haters and now even Micheal says they're friends after talking all that shit .
And he says he left the life years ago and then says sammy was selling extacys at a club he was involved with lol this guy plays the good guy character a lot and sometimes he doesn’t know what hes saying
Michael is 100% right about how things changed in the late 80’s with the Rico act, then he slightly brought it up about how back in the day you got so many years, but only served part of it and was back out. That i believe was called truth in sentencing and began in the 90’s, that’s when everyone started ratting! You got caught up doing an armored truck or banks, they hit you with 10-20, you were serving like 85% of that. But if the judge said 10 n’ a day, that means 10 straight, no parole, no 85%, none of that! So only way around that was if you knew something about someone they wanted more than you. Still though it’s fucked up to take someone down because you got caught up. Call me crazy, but that’s just not ok on either side, the cops or the informant. Even a guy like Kevin Weeks who ratted on a shit bag like Whitey Bulger, he should still be in jail too!
Glad to see Mike Tyson accepted and given an opportunity to speak. No more greedy crooked boxing promoters stealing from you. No more dangerous gold-digging chicks coning you. Now Mike can be free, recognise that he is and always was the best Boxer in the history of the sport. So I sincerely hope these are the "golden years" for him and for him to know that his "fan base" has increased since being on social media!
What the hell, he was never the best boxer. He was great and exciting. But take any Great fighter in their prime and Tyson in their prime and Tyson generally loses.
Quite correct, that rape charge had the stink of bullshit about it. Don King probably set him up. What's an innocent young woman doing visiting at his hotel room at 2am?
Mike and Michael make brilliant conversation, they spoke and looked at each other like they were thinking ‘shit this guy is on my level, well waddya know’ 😂
This clip is from a couple years ago. Michael has apologized to Sammy for what he said about him on Tysons podcast. They have a good relationship now. He knows he misspoke.
No he just doesn't want the drama. He is right 19 BODIES? You make a deal with a guy that has 19 BODIES that we KNOW ABOUT? No telling how many Sammy actually killed. And he comes off BRAGGY about it too. No remorse. He walks around like he's still a big bad mafioso where Franzese shuns that lifestyle and denounced it and pledged his heart to God......
I like to see Mike Tyson when he’s interested in shit like this as bad as he is he realizes there’s different people and is interested in that from the greatest boxer that ever lived
Anybody who experienced their bosses friend’s betrayal would have done much worse compared to Sammy. A lot of them are rotting in jails feeling like idiots. Others ( more lucky ones)sit in coffee shops trying to pass the time waiting to die with this losing heavy weight on their hearts. Not able to do much cause of old age
I like Mike he's a gentleman but he's who he is because of his father. Sammy wrote his own ticket. I don't think Mike on his best day could be half the man Sammy is. I'm not talking about Iron Mike. Mike Tyson is my childhood hero, now as a 44 year old man Mike Tyson is still the man in my eyes because of his human growth. He's a true champion in every sense of the word.
Why? Mike did three years for one sexual assault it's not a dozen murders Bill Cosby doesn't deserve to be out of jail either. Mike may not have even been convicted but he has a violent reputation and had prior offences as a juvinelle and I didn't hear her testimony maybe he was really rough with her. He's not the same though if is fights were not in the ring he would be locked up for assault though and were he not a boxer maybe he would have killed some people in street fights.
Well let’s hear Sammy’s side of the story! I listened to an interview with Sammy and he’s smart, personable and gives a lot of insight as to why he became an informant.
Karen Gravano said she was the one that was a part of the ecstasy scam. He didn't have anything to do with it but he took the charges for his daughter (Karen) so she could be free.
Sammy was a different breed. If he was treated right by Gotti he would never snitch. Gotti's ego was too big as Sammy was getting too powerful without Gotti.
Bro the feeling I get when I watch stuff like this man, the Mafia man they didn't play around and still don't, they are just insanely smart now that's why you don't hear about them but even back then they were ahead of the times and still are, that's why you don't hear about them they have insanely hidden way of communicating now, no computer BS they keep it old school it's the only way to stay 100% hidden and fully anonymous, the feeling I tell you lol, even Mike Tyson a legend himself is in absolute wonder around people like this the respect level is huge, "can you feel it" lmao
@@TheRealBatCave They're for sure smarter than all the other "organized" crime groups. Almost all of htem (with VERY few exceptions) take away the drugs and beating and graping girls into prostitution and they have nothing. NOTHING. These guys didn't just extort, murder and steal. They infiltrated and ran legit businesses. The bosses were millionaires and quite a few of them were never touched or only went down as old men. Carlo Gambino died in his own bed. Yeah with the government improving their surveillance and ever more intrusive laws, harsher sentencing like RICO etc they got people to crack also. If FBI etc went the same after some Blk gang dealing heroin, crack, fentanyl etc they'd go down within a week, it wouldn't take months or years to build a case like it does with the mob.
Same question as Mike has - these men know there is only two possible outcomes - die young or go to prison - either way everything is gone immediately - why even consider this as a life style, live in a delusional world of being tough and dressing smart
Ego, macho bullshit, Brought up in a world where u can beat respect out of people. Its fkn sad. I dont really like how people talk about Mike F, like he's someone to look up to because he got out of that life, HE WAS STILL A FUCKING CRIMINAL FOR YEARS. Definitely had some part in murders. The guy is and still is a piece of shit, and his dad was an even bigger piece of shit.
A very god friend of mine owned Key Club. I spent a ridiculous amount of time there, a lot of which was up in the office. Michael Franzese had nothing to do with the club in any capacity.
Sammy got out for the same reason Michael got out... You'd either root in jail or you'd be dead... Sammy had to flip, Gotti wanted him to take the rap and go to prison and Sammy didn't want to do it, then the FBI showed Sammy tapes of Gotti wanting to kill him... What do you do? He showed loyalty and then that? Crazy how that organization would kill a family member over the tiniest detail and think it's good for the organization.
i think the people are like that because they have principle and its unwavering. They are comfortable with any consequence that comes from holding to their principle as that means more to them than the consequence.
Michael is wrong about the word mafia appearing all over the Godfather script before Joe Columbo looked it over. The word was only used once in the original script during the dinner with Tom Hagan and the movie producer.
Franzese was saying the word mafia was all over the script BEFORE Colombo edited the script. He probably left it in there because it was being spoken by Jack Woltz, who was an idiot megalomaniac
@@morrisheinersz2005If you watch The Godfather documentary.. “The Godfather and the Mob” which came out in the mid 2000s..Al Ruddy confirms the word “Mafia” was originally only in the script once. The scene where Jack Woltlz gets angry and threatens Tom Hagen when they first meet. The script was 150 pages long and Joe Columbo or none of his goons bothered to read past the first paragraph..if even that!
They did the same thing to a Harlem gangster by the name of Alpo who also killed more than 15 people They made a deal and he was out Just got killed in Harlem by new school gangsters
I m sicilian and unfortunately here is even worse, Giovanni Brusca 150 murdered included a child today he is a free man because he collaborated with the italian police
The guys that would have done 200 years were thinking that being out by flipping would be a living hell because somebody would find them plus they didn't want to be thought of as a pussy, forever. Even after you die, your image is your image, every gangster that exists until the sun blows up or there is an extinction event will know who snitched.
@@Calgac But what is life when everyone in your world thinks you're a rat? A snake? A coward? I'd honestly rather ust die and get it over with rather than living in fear, being confined to the house, none of your people around, you don't belong anywhere, etc. It's 6 and a half dozen of the other. Neither situation is a good outcome lol. Lesson is, don't be involved with anything that will get you decades in prison.
Micheal may be right about sammy but he's lying about being in the next cell as him. He cooperated just like sammy but didn't have to give up as many people to get off. He's a sneaky guy.
He said they were neighbors in the MDC, that’s a pretrial detention center. So that’s before either one of them flipped. And they’re known to house all the LCN guys in the same block at the MDC so it makes sense
@Andrew H. JR. off the top of my head Frank Campione, Norby Walters there was a couple more that pleaded out because they knew micheal would testify against them. He's a smart guy but he over exaggerates a lot. He couldn't go to his father's funeral and never helped him get out of prison. Sonny was in a veterans care home before he died the only guy who helped him is Greg vita he has a TH-cam channel.
He knew the law. Was highly educated. Coped a plea. And exposed the Mafia publicly. That is why he had a mark on his scalp, it’s the same as ratting in the sense. It brings heat, more heat on the ever weakening mafia. But he never put anyone directly behind bars. He did what he exactly said, he walked away. And he has killed someone to, eyes don’t lie. And Micheal is reborn, he thinks though he can repent, but the thing is this. ( If you believe in that religion/ideology ) he’s repented, but at the same time. He’s still that racketeer he was turned to be, he is trying to buy himself into heaven. That man harbours a lot of guilt, it’s why he became so high profile. Indulgence, trying to block out the guilt with money, sex, parties, respect, fear. It never worked. No matter what, he was his fathers son, but not his father. He believed in the life somewhat. But it was a fragile belief. He may admit his true crimes on his death bed, but he is right. He doesn’t have no amenity otherwise . He’s going to be reinvestigated. The only reason, he’s mostly left alone. Because he continues to expose the mafia. The mafia doesn’t exist. Remember. It’s a secret society. But you have hear a former member exposing this and making a wage out of it too. That’s why he’s seen as rat. But he has not directly put anyone he was associated with behind bars. He’s still his Dads son.
@Adrian Hernandez Watch Mafia states of America. Sammy brought up this interview and told Michael that he never played cards with him and that he was never even in mdc so he doesn't know who Michael thinks he was talking to in there because it sure wasn't him. Mike looked stunned and didn't know how to respond. Lol. So yeah. Michael lied about being locked up with Sammy. They didn't even know each other on the street
@Adrian Hernandez in that case Why'd Sammy need to lie about Gotti, Franzese met with the Feds there was a Contract out on him that his own Father ok'd so he definitely done some Mafioso wrong, Mike thinks cos Sammy got to keep his money why couldn't he Mike's mighty green!
With all due respect, Michael is a nepotism baby and everything good that came of his time in and out of the mob was directly due to who his dad was. He has no room to grandstand on anyone. On his worst day, Gotti gave the feds everything they needed to take down the mob. Dude thought he was a movie star and only lasted 4 years as the boss. He wouldn’t have became the boss without Sammy’s help.
Bro he had a 100 million dollars he was a captain in the mob he would a went further if it wasn’t who his dad was his dad humbled him but u have any idea the fuckn power he had n still has don’t let it fool ya think about having a 100 million dollars in the 80s without drugs
The very reason the mob is as rich as they are, the fact that they have branched out into legitimate enterprises and that they no longer run the protection rackets, is in part because of Michael Franzese. That fuel skimming that he did, didn't make millions; it made billions.
@@daltonhill9997 where did you hear this from mike. Mike was only a go between for his father. Anything he had was his dads he was just acting capo of his fathers crew it was his dads crew but his dad couldn’t t be seen meeting anyone so mike steps in the pic but no one was scared of mike it was sonny they was scared of it was Sonny’s crew not mikes mike is a huge bullshit artists he can t keep his story’s straight they change all the time he just said he had many dealings with John right I heard him say before he only dealt with John one time and he had to give in to John mike is a huge bs artists
Where does he lie? I watch most of his vids on mob subjects he seems truthful but obviously I don’t know the guy, most people say he’s being truthful,law to, but Sammy and John alite say otherwise
@@sleevelessace You dont know him, but he seems truthful.......hmmmmmmm, interesting analogy. His "new life" is one big lie. Do some research, then comment. If you are just a Tyson fan, I get it. If you are a mafia follower, do your homework.
@@OCBeachLife I am a mob history fan I’ve watched countless hours of docs , not saying I’m a professional lol, but the only thing people really call Michael out for his the amount of “work “ he put in saying he insinuated he offed someone but never did and he got fast tracked to being made on a favour to his father…
Gravano atarted from the bottom and rose to the top while francheze road the coat tail of his Dad who was an outlier of the silent types. Both earned a name for themselves to be above the average but their paths are very different.
Say what you want about M.Frazessssse but the guy has to be number 1 or 2 in all time money making and his Father had not a single fukkkkin thing to do with that... Nothing at all ! ! !
I love how he contradcited himself in the same video. "The older generation couldn't handle the sentences that we're getting now" and then goes to "My dad and Persico they wouldn't break because they had that old school mentality from their generation"
It does go to show though, sometimes when it comes to who is truly the powerful one or the one you should go after if you really want to make a impact it doesn't always matter how many people you've killed with your hands or bad you've done, but who holds the cards.... It makes sense to let him out especially for giving information on Gotti.
Getting rid of the top guys often doesn’t do much other than create a power vacuum for more violent scum to take over. Just look at what happened to Mexico.
@@someguy3186 well half of that is, because of the people holding the cards, if the government wasn't nearly as corrupt as it is, they really could make some changes. If it wasn't for the corruption the people committing the horrific acts could be stopped much sooner for God sake look at the prisons there literally run by the cartel, and yes, the fact there so brutal does give them some power, but if they didn't have the money, and didn't have the pockets too throw it into they wouldn't be where they are..... Although to be fair sometimes there prisons are more humane than those in America😂 but that's a entirely different issue we should address.
Michael is a very articulate guy..Thats why he was the number one earner in the mob.He also had morals and wasn,t hot headed and the reason he became a made member was to help his dad get out of prison.Sammy on the other hand was a true gangster..No matter what transpired with the gotti case i don,t believe he would have cooperated unless gotti used him just to save his own skin.Sammy,s podcast OUR THING is amazing.Peace to everyone from SHEFFIELD ENGLAND.✌️🇬🇧
He was a good earner cause it fell in his lap! He didn't create the gas scheme and he would even tell you that. And on Michaels best day he could never have the power Sammy did!
Earned alot but nowhere near the top earner He was collecting under 10% of the profits, The Mob Would Open Their Own Distilleries During Prohibition Generating hundreds of millions keeping every penny
@@eddieardakoc7308 yes but he was with right people on right place. It is not easy. It is not easy to create, then expand that big to make a million dollars a week. You need to have right people around you,people with brain and pencil, people with muscles and baseball bat, people with ski mask and gun. To have to hold it all in order and to create long time incomes from that job. It's not some scam where he only need to create some 0071 number and machine to send random sms:Call me it is urgent. And when people call,it charge you 50$. It is job where you need importer of ⛽️ , people with 🚚, people to do documentation for 🛢, then gas stations, then accountants, tax returns man.. it's organization with x people in it and they all need to be focused, carefull,serious and trusting people to trust you and agreeing to enter in illegal job by own will. Or you need to intimidate some and they need to be feared by you more then FBI to keep them mouth closed and work.. then there is tons of people who want to steal, from 1st step till last. To bribe or intimidate,or buy x people who control import,documentation, control of gasoline stations, people in administration who controls taxes on gas stations.. this is only what I can remember here writing, but there is God know how many people you need to have it deal with somehow and make deals
@@eddieardakoc7308 what Sammy power was? Lol? Did he have some super power? What? Why do you think he is special? He survived and have a luck to be alive,and he's only alive becose he is snitch.

He woulda end with bullet in his head... when Boss start to speek about you how you are greedy, how you make problems, how you are out of control, it's only matter of time when you are going to get bullet. John would save a lot of people -37 I think, for sure ,if he didn't have doubts on his mind what to do. And Michael :if he had problem or if Sammy try to muscle and take over his job from him,you think he would be able to do it just like that? Lol Michael had killers around him too. And every man can die bro.. Rank, position,reputation,money,suit don't have anything with it
I love Michael.. but I'm pretty dedicated to Sammy and his channel. Best damn narrator of stories EVER, dude is like an old wise keeper of stories or something. Yeah he's hotheaded, yeah he sometimes lets shit get under his skin that he shouldn't. But c'mon, John was more than happy to sell him and Frank Locascio out to walk out. Also, what does he mean a lot of people didn't get a long with Sammy? Sammy was making crazy moves, he was a hitter, he did construction which there is big money in, all kinds of different shit. As an underboss he was with the guys in the street doing a hit with them and organizing everything, you can't tell me a hell of a lot of people didn't respect him. Usually in the mob you're either a money maker or you're a tough guy -a hitter. Sammy was both. I mean hell, he was one of the few smart ones who didn't like being in the limelight. Didn't go crazy at clubs and didn't dress like a jackass. I can't agree with Michael on this one. Maybe he's mad at Sammy for clearing up the fact that the Russian mob were the ones who started the gas tax scam.
Agreed 💯. Sammy the bull should be under the jail....19 people lost their life by this guy's hand.... & He's out podcasting & enjoying life .... Making money... His victims can't do anything! They're gone SMH !
His victims were other Mafia people who also killed people so stop acting like Sammy killed innocent people. The people he killed fucked up and had to go .

Micheal franzese lied that he knew sammy in jail and he’s since admitted he never knew him vmbefore recent times and Sammy also said he’d never spoke to him previously he’s a liar ..
What Mike isn't saying is that he flipped so he onky get 10. He says he didn't"hurt" anyone - then he says he didn't hurt any of his firends. Yeah. Sonny stood upm but Mike didn't.
Exactly, Franzese is a skilled liar. He never met John Gotti either, he lied during this interview. Sammy Gravano called him out in their interview together. I don’t believe a word that comes out of his mouth
Imo Sammy was the real deal..this Micheal guy was just the son of a gangster. Sammy had to really put work in to get to the level he got to.. Micheal didn't...he was just elevated because of who his father was.

@@HeilAmarth And michael barely reacted to that. Sammy didnt put anyone in their place. Who the fuck is scared of him. Sammy is just a rat who put down the gambinos.

Mike Tyson is truly becoming a wise man. I loved him as a fighter but now am starting to love him as a philosopher
thats what happens as we get older, more to some than others
No he isnt. He is as dumb as he was when he was young.

@@the1knifepro169 ohhh ur one of those guys….ok I get it now
It makes me so happy to see Mike getting recognized as the intelligent, humble, and thoughtful person he really is. 30 years ago people thought he was a maniac, natural born killer, but that couldn't be further from the truth. I met Mr. Tyson in a facility in Palm Springs around 2010ish, he was a wonderful human.
He is a convicted rapist who gave her herpes. What a guy!
At one point in time he was a maniac but he's worked on himself.
He's literally a rapist lmao
He's no Woody Harrelson
Thought u meant franzese at first lol
This is great, two very wise men who've literally seen and done it all, and they're both incredibly down to earth and humble, and it's because they've got nothing to prove in that regard, they've done it all and lived through it.
Interviews and Podcasts such as these are so important. Personally, I think they're equally as important as the drive (I believe in the early-mid 90s up to 2000s) to interview as many of the Holocaust Survivors so that the real truth was not lost when those people died.
Like it or not, this is another important part of history, not merely in the US but Globally, and there are lessons to be learned from these guys.
I met Mike Tyson at the airport in Los Angeles once. He was the nicest person to me and other people who wanted to meet him.
I heard that too . ❤
Hey guys, great sit down. Yo, the reason Sammy went down is because Gotti’s apartment was bugged and he was talking about things that should have never been spoken of; and sometimes with Sammy’s name getting mentioned. Sammy said: “What? I got to go to jail for the rest of my life because he couldn’t keep his mouth shut?”. I’m afraid Sammy has a good point there. I’m glad everyone (self included) is trying to live right now (by the grace of God); and God bless.
Are you insane? Sammy doesn’t have a “good point”. Sammy murdered at least 19 people and that is why he should be in jail. It is that simple.
@@gentlemanjim480 Michael loves to act like he is innocent. He probably has done hits or been involved in hits in that life but got lucky he never got caught.
@@AtomicMushroomz That is probably right, I agree. Doesn’t change anything about the savagery of the murderer Sammy the Bull, who should be rotting in jail.
Yeah but he didn’t just take down Gotti did he what about the other hundred guys he gave evidence against …Sammy is a no good dirty RAT 💯🐀
It's right, Gotti turned on Sammy. He wanted him to take the fall for him. What so he was supposed to. I don't give a fuck about rat talk because I'm not taking the fall for anybody. He did what he did and that's all. It's funny how every interview Mike is on he never did anything wrong, one minute he did 8yrs then the next time it's 5yrs he doesn't even know how long he was in jail. At least Sammy knows he did 20yrs. Mike tries to come off like a saint, he found God, he's a Christian, studied the bible in solitary confinement. Come on. I'll run with Sammy anyday.
I love listening to Michael, such a likable dude. Since I was a kid I've been fascinated with that life.
Don’t be a wise guy
You arent fascinated with “that life” you are enthralled (as is the rest of the world) by anyone with immense charisma. Mike could have been a chef and you would have been fascinated with food.

I wonder if Tyson is still an active rapist and wife beater?
Mike Tyson speaks this language very well. He understands it very clearly.
All gangs are ran the same, who won't understand it? Foh
Lmao
Fear is always the biggest motivator I've seen in my life. 25 to life is huge to deal with. It basically takes your life away from you. You safe your own morality an that is hard thing to do. Being in prison is a horrible thing, its like being in your own personal hell.
Don’t do the crime if you are not strong enough to face the consequences, simple as that🤙🏻
True but murdering people and raping people will not get any sympathy from me. The only reason Tyson didn't truly pay for his raping in prison is because he's famous. That's it. To me he's not special and very lucky. He should have at the very least been handled in the same way that he handled that girl he raped.
I don't get why people don't realize the death penalty is a way out of punishment. If I ever got a life sentence I would petition to get myself the death penalty. I would choose death any day and twice on Tuesday rather than spend the rest of my life in prison.
have you ever done time before? after 3 months it's just normal shit
@@JC-km5xwI know you lying!!
Mike Tyson is the best!!! Straight up!!!
I totally agree some people should not be let out of the pen.
You can tell Tyson has a lot of Respect for Michael. And it's strange, because usually Tyson's presence commands any single room he enters, but Michaels presence isn't that far off. Both are cold killers, just from different worlds. One from pro prize fighting, one from being a Captain in one of the five Mafia families.
There’s no evidence that either of them killed anyone what are you talking about

There's a reason why they enacted the RICO Act..

This is the 1st time I have ever seen anyone in relife actually use that word lol
@@isaacalzate8262 must not read a lot eh?
A lot of people in the comments section are glorifying these scumbags. I find gangsters fascinating too. But it’s disturbing when people look up to these lowlifes. The worst ones are the ones who are talking about how Sammy is better than Michael because the latter isn’t a killer, as if not being a psychopathic killer is something to ashamed of. Obviously Michael was a bad guy too, but he’s clearly the lesser of two evils.
Why? Go to Brooklyn now, or the bronx, in their day it was safe.. you could walk around as a woman, now you’re lucky if a BLK dude doesn’t assault you..
They help
Communities, create jobs etc. you goofy prick, lmao.
Growing up in NY back then,I am not going to lie,I loved Gotti.
Tyson is so underrated when it comes to intellect. The man has a deep soul but no one listens because of his lisp.
I don't think that a lisp can be the only reason here
He's a dumbass
I never overlook what he has to say. He’s quite wise and he definitely has a lot of life experience
& that's their problem.
Yeah he comes across as a deethent guy.
When sammy and michael were going at it and michael said stop with the balloney sammy and sammy said what kinda words balloney,street guys dont use words like balloney 😂😂 michael was stunned didnt know what to say 😂 on youtube,funny
If S HAD A GUN THERE MICKEY FRENCIES BEEN DEAD DUCK
Michael made Sammy look like the idiot he is everytime they spoke.
Yaaaass, I was hooked on all his videos, after seeing him in one, so I was very familiar and always intrigued and admired, amazed and attracted to his intellect, but when he hit that bologna line to Sammy, I cracked up it was so corny and outdated , it made him human to me that's how admiration I had inspite if his past life.....he is true to the game and his integrity played a big part.in his survival I believe.
You tried to shake down Michael Jackson IT DIDNT WORKK lol
Bc he’s not a street guy anymore so why should he talk like one?
This is why Sammy had so much beef with Michael when they did their show together. Michael called him a little man with a Napoleon complex who should still be in prison 😂
Sammy should still be in prison he’s a scumbag child killer
Yep
Yep, but Sammy was a rat and the fact that he snitched on a famous Mob Boss. He might be out of prison but that does not give him a clean slate with the Mob families. He sealed his faith when he started to snitch and kept on snitching to the Feds. Can you imagine spending day after day with paranoia, sleepless nights and constant fear people like Sammy must have, knowing that the Mob has a contract out on their heads. Look at the death of Whitey Bulgar where he almost died of old age in Prison. The Mob manage to get to him after all those years and apparently he died a painful death.
@@mariuskuhrau761 True. Though the Whitey Bulger killing is the exception these days. Generally it seems like guys who flipped (“rats”) are free to live public lives without to much worry in this day and age. Though you never know…
All these mafia guys just be hating on Sammy even though he was at a higher level than any other of these TH-camrs former gangsters. Sammy never hid why he flipped he never physically hid who he was and still wasn't touched . Now Sammy is more successful than any of these haters and now even Micheal says they're friends after talking all that shit .
Michael has done a complete 180 on how he speaks about Sammy now.
It’s cuz Michael wasn’t steppin like that
Because they did a project together and had to meet in real life 🤷♂️
It was inevitable he wouldn’t keep that energy
And he says he left the life years ago and then says sammy was selling extacys at a club he was involved with lol this guy plays the good guy character a lot and sometimes he doesn’t know what hes saying
@@ghoststeppa9294yeh ok lol these wanna be gangs blood and crips are scared shook of the mafia
yeah, he's honest now!
And now Michael and Sammy do the podcast together and are the best buddies 😂
Michael is 100% right about how things changed in the late 80’s with the Rico act, then he slightly brought it up about how back in the day you got so many years, but only served part of it and was back out. That i believe was called truth in sentencing and began in the 90’s, that’s when everyone started ratting! You got caught up doing an armored truck or banks, they hit you with 10-20, you were serving like 85% of that. But if the judge said 10 n’ a day, that means 10 straight, no parole, no 85%, none of that! So only way around that was if you knew something about someone they wanted more than you. Still though it’s fucked up to take someone down because you got caught up. Call me crazy, but that’s just not ok on either side, the cops or the informant. Even a guy like Kevin Weeks who ratted on a shit bag like Whitey Bulger, he should still be in jail too!
Thank you for the pictures of Robert DeNiro playing Ed Sheeran, every time they mention John Gotti. Really adds something.
Yh Ed Sheeran
wait Ed Sheeran is playing Gotti? amazing casting
Lol franzese dropped an Ed Sherhan in a vid too
Why would deNiro be playing a ginger British musician from the 21st century? Isn't the age gap a bit too far apart?
Glad to see Mike Tyson accepted and given an opportunity to speak. No more greedy crooked boxing promoters stealing from you. No more dangerous gold-digging chicks coning you. Now Mike can be free, recognise that he is and always was the best Boxer in the history of the sport. So I sincerely hope these are the "golden years" for him and for him to know that his "fan base" has increased since being on social media!
What the hell, he was never the best boxer. He was great and exciting. But take any Great fighter in their prime and Tyson in their prime and Tyson generally loses.
Quite correct, that rape charge had the stink of bullshit about it. Don King probably set him up.
What's an innocent young woman doing visiting at his hotel room at 2am?
“Best boxer in the history of the sport” 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Rocky Marciano was the best boxer in history
He was never the best boxer he is a slugger..
Mike and Michael make brilliant conversation, they spoke and looked at each other like they were thinking ‘shit this guy is on my level, well waddya know’ 😂
This clip is from a couple years ago. Michael has apologized to Sammy for what he said about him on Tysons podcast. They have a good relationship now. He knows he misspoke.
No he just doesn't want the drama. He is right 19 BODIES? You make a deal with a guy that has 19 BODIES that we KNOW ABOUT? No telling how many Sammy actually killed. And he comes off BRAGGY about it too. No remorse. He walks around like he's still a big bad mafioso where Franzese shuns that lifestyle and denounced it and pledged his heart to God......
That "mafia states of America" video by valuetainment didn't look like they have a good relationship now. You saying they made peace after?
lol they do not have a good relationship
@@NoBiasAllBoxing Michael just did a video with Sammy's daughter and said they went to dinner and made up
What are you a mafiosi?
He didn’t misspeak a single bit. He said what he felt and trust me, he still feels that way.
You changed your tune fairly quick once there was money involved Michael he's your best friend now 😂 😂 😂
Gotti did not flip, respect for that.
He didn't flip to the government, but he was willing to sell out sammy and frank locascio so that he could walk free.
I like to see Mike Tyson when he’s interested in shit like this as bad as he is he realizes there’s different people and is interested in that from the greatest boxer that ever lived
True plus raised in New York he kinda seen it all,

Anybody who experienced their bosses friend’s betrayal would have done much worse compared to Sammy. A lot of them are rotting in jails feeling like idiots. Others ( more lucky ones)sit in coffee shops trying to pass the time waiting to die with this losing heavy weight on their hearts. Not able to do much cause of old age
Guys like Franzese wouldnt have been able to operate without guys like Sammy.
But don't worry Mike says prayers to Jesus now so its not hypocrital anymore.
I'm not normally into these kinds of clips, but I have to say, the edited clips really tied up with the narrative well.
Well done 👍
No.
Sammy The Snitch gonna flip out on Michael for this.
Dame babe years later and u still be looking good.. still would give it to u all day 🍌
I like Mike he's a gentleman but he's who he is because of his father. Sammy wrote his own ticket. I don't think Mike on his best day could be half the man Sammy is. I'm not talking about Iron Mike. Mike Tyson is my childhood hero, now as a 44 year old man Mike Tyson is still the man in my eyes because of his human growth. He's a true champion in every sense of the word.

"He Does Not Deserve To Be Out Of Jail!" Ironic coming from him
Why? Mike did three years for one sexual assault it's not a dozen murders Bill Cosby doesn't deserve to be out of jail either. Mike may not have even been convicted but he has a violent reputation and had prior offences as a juvinelle and I didn't hear her testimony maybe he was really rough with her. He's not the same though if is fights were not in the ring he would be locked up for assault though and were he not a boxer maybe he would have killed some people in street fights.

Government will do whatever they can to get you. Look what they are doing to Trump whether deserved or not.
They took a 30 for 1 seems like a good deal regardless
Sammy was a different breed.
If he was treated right by Gotti he would never snitch. Gotti's ego was too big as Sammy was getting too powerful without Gotti.

@@TheRealBatCave They're for sure smarter than all the other "organized" crime groups. Almost all of htem (with VERY few exceptions) take away the drugs and beating and graping girls into prostitution and they have nothing. NOTHING.
These guys didn't just extort, murder and steal. They infiltrated and ran legit businesses. The bosses were millionaires and quite a few of them were never touched or only went down as old men.
Carlo Gambino died in his own bed. Yeah with the government improving their surveillance and ever more intrusive laws, harsher sentencing like RICO etc they got people to crack also.

I dont really like how people talk about Mike F, like he's someone to look up to because he got out of that life, HE WAS STILL A FUCKING CRIMINAL FOR YEARS. Definitely had some part in murders.

A very god friend of mine owned Key Club. I spent a ridiculous amount of time there, a lot of which was up in the office. Michael Franzese had nothing to do with the club in any capacity.

He had zero connections. Who was he connected to ?

@@OCBeachLife not mob connections, but he was friends with some heavy names in the afro American street circles of new york.
Sammy got out for the same reason Michael got out... You'd either root in jail or you'd be dead... Sammy had to flip, Gotti wanted him to take the rap and go to prison and Sammy didn't want to do it, then the FBI showed Sammy tapes of Gotti wanting to kill him... What do you do? He showed loyalty and then that? Crazy how that organization would kill a family member over the tiniest detail and think it's good for the organization.
i think the people are like that because they have principle and its unwavering. They are comfortable with any consequence that comes from holding to their principle as that means more to them than the consequence.
Had no idea Michael was part of The Key Club. I've been to many a concert there.
Michael is wrong about the word mafia appearing all over the Godfather script before Joe Columbo looked it over. The word was only used once in the original script during the dinner with Tom Hagan and the movie producer.
He might know stuff we don't, or his memory is wrong. Everyone has a bad memory
@@kiteracer2497 trust me. I know Godfather movie history.
@@scottym6680maybe Colombo suggested the change but it’s uncredited?
Franzese was saying the word mafia was all over the script BEFORE Colombo edited the script. He probably left it in there because it was being spoken by Jack Woltz, who was an idiot megalomaniac
@@morrisheinersz2005If you watch The Godfather documentary.. “The Godfather and the Mob” which came out in the mid 2000s..Al Ruddy confirms the word “Mafia” was originally only in the script once. The scene where Jack Woltlz gets angry and threatens Tom Hagen when they first meet.
The script was 150 pages long and Joe Columbo or none of his goons bothered to read past the first paragraph..if even that!
They did the same thing to a Harlem gangster by the name of Alpo who also killed more than 15 people
They made a deal and he was out

2024 and Michael and Sammy are besties. Go figure
Micheal may be right about sammy but he's lying about being in the next cell as him. He cooperated just like sammy but didn't have to give up as many people to get off. He's a sneaky guy.
He said they were neighbors in the MDC, that’s a pretrial detention center. So that’s before either one of them flipped. And they’re known to house all the LCN guys in the same block at the MDC so it makes sense
@Andrew H. JR. off the top of my head Frank Campione, Norby Walters there was a couple more that pleaded out because they knew micheal would testify against them. He's a smart guy but he over exaggerates a lot. He couldn't go to his father's funeral and never helped him get out of prison. Sonny was in a veterans care home before he died the only guy who helped him is Greg vita he has a TH-cam channel.
He knew the law. Was highly educated. Coped a plea. And exposed the Mafia publicly. That is why he had a mark on his scalp, it’s the same as ratting in the sense. It brings heat, more heat on the ever weakening mafia. But he never put anyone directly behind bars. He did what he exactly said, he walked away. And he has killed someone to, eyes don’t lie. And Micheal is reborn, he thinks though he can repent, but the thing is this. ( If you believe in that religion/ideology ) he’s repented, but at the same time. He’s still that racketeer he was turned to be, he is trying to buy himself into heaven. That man harbours a lot of guilt, it’s why he became so high profile. Indulgence, trying to block out the guilt with money, sex, parties, respect, fear. It never worked. No matter what, he was his fathers son, but not his father. He believed in the life somewhat. But it was a fragile belief. He may admit his true crimes on his death bed, but he is right. He doesn’t have no amenity otherwise . He’s going to be reinvestigated. The only reason, he’s mostly left alone. Because he continues to expose the mafia. The mafia doesn’t exist. Remember. It’s a secret society. But you have hear a former member exposing this and making a wage out of it too. That’s why he’s seen as rat. But he has not directly put anyone he was associated with behind bars. He’s still his Dads son.
@Adrian Hernandez Watch Mafia states of America. Sammy brought up this interview and told Michael that he never played cards with him and that he was never even in mdc so he doesn't know who Michael thinks he was talking to in there because it sure wasn't him. Mike looked stunned and didn't know how to respond. Lol. So yeah. Michael lied about being locked up with Sammy. They didn't even know each other on the street
@Adrian Hernandez in that case Why'd Sammy need to lie about Gotti, Franzese met with the Feds there was a Contract out on him that his own Father ok'd so he definitely done some Mafioso wrong, Mike thinks cos Sammy got to keep his money why couldn't he Mike's mighty green!
Legends ❤
With all due respect, Michael is a nepotism baby and everything good that came of his time in and out of the mob was directly due to who his dad was. He has no room to grandstand on anyone. On his worst day, Gotti gave the feds everything they needed to take down the mob. Dude thought he was a movie star and only lasted 4 years as the boss. He wouldn’t have became the boss without Sammy’s help.
Bro he had a 100 million dollars he was a captain in the mob he would a went further if it wasn’t who his dad was his dad humbled him but u have any idea the fuckn power he had n still has don’t let it fool ya think about having a 100 million dollars in the 80s without drugs
Most pf the mob nepotism lol they still didn’t male the money Michael did lol
The very reason the mob is as rich as they are, the fact that they have branched out into legitimate enterprises and that they no longer run the protection rackets, is in part because of Michael Franzese.

I love how he contradcited himself in the same video. "The older generation couldn't handle the sentences that we're getting now" and then goes to "My dad and Persico they wouldn't break because they had that old school mentality from their generation"
Michael franzese good seeing you and iron Mike Tyson very good video thank you for sharing it 👍💕
Funny how in other content Michael Franzese wonders why he doesnt get along with Sammy.
Franzese: 19 murders!
Chapo: Hold my beer...
@Hemorrhoid Infestation Your mom did last night
It's hold my winky now a days
It does go to show though, sometimes when it comes to who is truly the powerful one or the one you should go after if you really want to make a impact it doesn't always matter how many people you've killed with your hands or bad you've done, but who holds the cards.... It makes sense to let him out especially for giving information on Gotti.
It makes more sense to lie to him and after getting gotti seal him up anyway. No need to keep your word to someone who is less than human
Getting rid of the top guys often doesn’t do much other than create a power vacuum for more violent scum to take over. Just look at what happened to Mexico.
@@ThatGuy-tx4vm so your word means nothing, which is okay if you think that's okay, but it is difficult to trust someone who thinks like that.
@@someguy3186 well half of that is, because of the people holding the cards, if the government wasn't nearly as corrupt as it is, they really could make some changes. If it wasn't for the corruption the people committing the horrific acts could be stopped much sooner for God sake look at the prisons there literally run by the cartel, and yes, the fact there so brutal does give them some power, but if they didn't have the money, and didn't have the pockets too throw it into they wouldn't be where they are..... Although to be fair sometimes there prisons are more humane than those in America😂 but that's a entirely different issue we should address.
@@bruce3242 honour and trust should be reserved for those who deserve and earn it. If you break the law there should be no reprieve.
❤ Why won't you guys do a broadcast on a coach? Volunteering this time to coach kids on a football field
Great clip 👌
Michael is a very articulate guy..Thats why he was the number one earner in the mob.He also had morals and wasn,t hot headed and the reason he became a made member was to help his dad get out of prison.Sammy on the other hand was a true gangster..No matter what transpired with the gotti case i don,t believe he would have cooperated unless gotti used him just to save his own skin.Sammy,s podcast OUR THING is amazing.Peace to everyone from SHEFFIELD ENGLAND.✌️🇬🇧
He was a good earner cause it fell in his lap! He didn't create the gas scheme and he would even tell you that. And on Michaels best day he could never have the power Sammy did!
Earned alot but nowhere near the top earner He was collecting under 10% of the profits, The Mob Would Open Their Own Distilleries During Prohibition Generating hundreds of millions keeping every penny
North West stand up 💪🇬🇧👊
@@eddieardakoc7308 yes but he was with right people on right place. It is not easy. It is not easy to create, then expand that big to make a million dollars a week. You need to have right people around you,people with brain and pencil, people with muscles and baseball bat, people with ski mask and gun. To have to hold it all in order and to create long time incomes from that job. It's not some scam where he only need to create some 0071 number and machine to send random sms:Call me it is urgent. And when people call,it charge you 50$. It is job where you need importer of ⛽️ , people with 🚚, people to do documentation for 🛢, then gas stations, then accountants, tax returns man.. it's organization with x people in it and they all need to be focused, carefull,serious and trusting people to trust you and agreeing to enter in illegal job by own will. Or you need to intimidate some and they need to be feared by you more then FBI to keep them mouth closed and work.. then there is tons of people who want to steal, from 1st step till last. To bribe or intimidate,or buy x people who control import,documentation, control of gasoline stations, people in administration who controls taxes on gas stations.. this is only what I can remember here writing, but there is God know how many people you need to have it deal with somehow and make deals
@@eddieardakoc7308 what Sammy power was? Lol? Did he have some super power? What? Why do you think he is special? He survived and have a luck to be alive,and he's only alive becose he is snitch. If he didn't arrested and saved by police at that time. He woulda end with bullet in his head... when Boss start to speek about you how you are greedy, how you make problems, how you are out of control, it's only matter of time when you are going to get bullet. John would save a lot of people -37 I think, for sure ,if he didn't have doubts on his mind what to do. And Michael :if he had problem or if Sammy try to muscle and take over his job from him,you think he would be able to do it just like that? Lol Michael had killers around him too. And every man can die bro.. Rank, position,reputation,money,suit don't have anything with it
MIKE YOU WERE FACING THAT MANY YEARS BUT TELL THEM WHAT SAVED YOU !
I love Michael.. but I'm pretty dedicated to Sammy and his channel. Best damn narrator of stories EVER, dude is like an old wise keeper of stories or something. Yeah he's hotheaded, yeah he sometimes lets shit get under his skin that he shouldn't. But c'mon, John was more than happy to sell him and Frank Locascio out to walk out.
Also, what does he mean a lot of people didn't get a long with Sammy? Sammy was making crazy moves, he was a hitter, he did construction which there is big money in, all kinds of different shit. As an underboss he was with the guys in the street doing a hit with them and organizing everything, you can't tell me a hell of a lot of people didn't respect him. Usually in the mob you're either a money maker or you're a tough guy -a hitter. Sammy was both. I mean hell, he was one of the few smart ones who didn't like being in the limelight. Didn't go crazy at clubs and didn't dress like a jackass. I can't agree with Michael on this one. Maybe he's mad at Sammy for clearing up the fact that the Russian mob were the ones who started the gas tax scam.
And Franzese does business with those that he knows commit murder. He's so much better than Sammy.
Sammy carried an umbrella very well for John walking up Mulberry.
Agreed 💯. Sammy the bull should be under the jail....19 people lost their life by this guy's hand.... & He's out podcasting & enjoying life .... Making money... His victims can't do anything! They're gone SMH !
The US government is not necessarily the final authority that Sammy will face.
His victims were other Mafia people who also killed people so stop acting like Sammy killed innocent people. The people he killed fucked up and had to go .
@@bigcgr9758 yea I was thinking the same thing but at the end of the day it's 19 human lives an u shouldn't be justified being released for that by giving the government info on the mob
@@bigcgr9758 fucked up and had to go ? Lol not like
For
Screwing another mob guys wife or the rest of the stupid rules that they have
@@dontplay9937 you act like Sammy didn't kill them because he was told to . They put the hit out and Sammy did it . They broke the rules and died for it
That's the problem he wanted to be a media star not a mob-star 😆
Feels like 10-20 murders is the avg for wise guys that have been in the game a while.
Now that i heard Sammy story about the drugs, i question Michael F.
Micheal franzese lied that he knew sammy in jail and he’s since admitted he never knew him vmbefore recent times and Sammy also said he’d never spoke to him previously he’s a liar ..
sammy sat in jail for a long time. he does seem like he learned his lesson. i dont know how much more jail time people expect him to do.
He did 5 years for 19 murders and when he got out went straight back to the criminal like I wouldn't exactly say he learnt his lesson
Are u dumb. He did hardly any time for the murders he did most of the time for E well after he was out
What Mike isn't saying is that he flipped so he onky get 10. He says he didn't"hurt" anyone - then he says he didn't hurt any of his firends. Yeah. Sonny stood upm but Mike didn't.
Sammy said he never knew micheal when in the mafia . “ he said he knew me he didn’t know me “
Sammy is an honest guy! Lmao
You bit off another man's ear and have the balls to talk about how bad some people are. Very funny.
Boxing saved Mike...
CUS*
Glorified ex cons. I want these 7 minutes of my life back.
Exactly, Franzese is a skilled liar. He never met John Gotti either, he lied during this interview. Sammy Gravano called him out in their interview together. I don’t believe a word that comes out of his mouth
I like how he talks about being a rat being on podcast telling everything
Imo Sammy was the real deal..this Micheal guy was just the son of a gangster.
Sammy had to really put work in to get to the level he got to..
Micheal didn't...he was just elevated because of who his father was.
