On live TV in Canada. Calls host a "rat piece of shit..." Hahaha
Tyson should learn to be more restraint it could hit his positive attitude that he needs to maintain.
I kinda feel bad for Tyson at this point. Tyson's just gets sick of people trying to passive aggressively dump on him in interviews. It was an insulting question, and when Tyson responded in kind it's always "Tyson goes crazy".
It was a valid question., Tyson showed no discipline and was out-of-line.
The years have still not matured him when dealing with the public.
Rob Ford, the crack-smoking mayor of Toronto who bangs prostitutes in city hall, is running for re-election.
Mike Tyson, with a long public history of malodorous conduct, criminal history, drugs and prostitutes, is endorsing the mayor.
Would a public endorsement by Mike Tyson help any public official's campaign or would Tyson's endorsement negatively-impact the official's chances?
That's what's it's about, and 48 year old Mike Tyson thinks the appropriate response is to flip out on national tv live with yet another classless public spectacle.
@bradlee180 Can I please see some proof of him banging prostitutes in city hall.
It's not a valid question. It's rude as fuck. It's telling Tyson that he's garbage and that his name and reputation are worth nothing and may in fact be damaging to Rob Ford. That's a pretty big fuck you. So Tyson gave him what the host told him he was. He's lucky Tyson didn't snap. Tyson's never been known for having discipline or appropriate behaviour.
I'd like to that douche do a story at the zoo and poke the lion with a stick while standing in the cage.
Feel a little sorry for Tyson. These interviewers always pushing his buttons to get a reaction like this from him. It's sad to see the man's past still haunts him and he still can't stay calm even though he knows they do this to get him to react.
Iron Mike Tyson a troubled flawed individual, like a lot of people but just happened to
be HW Champion of the WORLD, spent and lost a fortune, a drunk, druggie, a convicted
rapist, a man that still has the people that love him and them that hate him.:-\
That was bushwhack journalism. Also pretty bumb, like Rob Ford can have his standards or rep lowered ffs. Who's campaign does that interviewer work for.
Sometimes it's refreshing to see someone stop trying to tight rope walk and PC a response to a 'political' question. There are times when it's as simple as...'ya know what, that's a dumbass question, fuck you' ;D
For a black man, he should have known better than to address another black man's criminal past on air in that fashion.
TV Reporter was scum. Tyson had right to tell him to get off....
I think it's a bullshit question because he's bringing up something that happened over 20 years ago. Tyson has worked hard to change his image and escape that part of his life, so when someone asks "hey, do you think you're such a worthless piece of shit that you'll hurt a fat, drunken, crack smoking idiot from getting reelected as mayor by endorsing him", you can't blame they guy for getting pissed.
I work in the news/journalism world, the only reason you ask a question like that is to get someone riled up and get an interesting response.
He deserved what he got. Tyson didn't raped that bitch, so he shouldn't even fuckin mentioned it.
Hah.. I'm sure the anchor wanted to get a rise out of him, so kind of stupid on both. Wouldn't blame Tyson at all for responding the way off camera, but he should at least be able to keep that stuff in check on television, for his own sake.
What are ya talkin' about, Tyson's bad behavior was 20 years ago?!
It was just 4 years ago, I think 2009, that Mike Tyson beat up the 7 prostitutes in his motel room after shooting up the morphine. He had the coke, the cialis, the mary-jane, the Hennessy, and dude flips out and starts punching out whores!
This ain't ancient history.
Ray Rice does a 1 punch KO of a woman on video, and so many folks are outraged, but Tyson talks about punching out 7 women and all is forgiven...
Thumbs down...
floyd mayweather has punched out about 7 women over the years as well, but plenty of folks have no problem with that either...
Tyson has never denied any of the skanless shit he did in his life. Purse snatching, knocking out old ladies, bitch slapping people for no reason, smoking dope, bribing police, illegal street racing, threatening people lives, intimidating people and so on. The list is long. But to this day he claims he never raped that whore. And will do so till the day he dies. I believe him
I'll concede that the broadcast journalist was completely unprofessional in his choice of words.
A journalist can address the touchy subjects and is supposed to, but style, man, style!
The best always have style.
Decorum. And they do some research on their guest, know a bit about that person's personalty and how they may react to different approaches, so the journalist is supposed to know how to proceed with different guests.
This reporter Nathan Downer is a total jack-off....
That's cuz he ordered 8 whores. Not 7. 8. How hard can that shit be to order? The fuck up, fucked everything up. The actvities he had planned called for the whores to be paired in 2. But since he got 7 whores instead of 8, one of the whores was forced to preceed without a partner. Who wouldn't be mad in that situation?
Everything you wrote is correct, I know you are a Tyson fan as well, so you accept that behaviour from him is uncalled for. Tyson needs to show restraint. His past is something that he will have to live with and people will bring it up.Tyson has to learn to handle provocative questions, even if they are from people deliberately trying to get a reaction from him.
I understand his frustration... It was 20 years ago and even if you don't think it was doubtful that he did it - he was judged and punished in a court of law... He served his time.
Are we looking at Fighters in a different light because we are fans, yes I would say we do
because sometimes we overlook, there short comings and Frankly some are pieces of SHIT
to be honest a lot are,! but this a part of life.
Some people that are talented in there life work etc, are flawed and some of us except it others
don't , boxing in it's part is a sport in it's nature has a good few of the above people in it.
That was brilliant. At least he's not fake
In a way Tyson should and probably could hold back, but on the other hand, I like that the punk rocker in him will unleash itself when affronted.
The thing about pressing/tough questions... there's a time and place for them. If dude had Ray Rice on the show, OF COURSE he's going to ask tough questions about the assault. If he had Rob Ford himself on the show, OF COURSE he's going to ask tough questions about the many scandals Ford has had over the last few years, because it's relevant information with Ford running for mayor again.
Why ask tough questions about a crime that Tyson was tried, convicted and served his time for over 20 years ago? There's no new information or perspective to gain from it. There's no real reason to even talk about it other than to rile Tyson up. It was a personal shot that was poorly disguised as a legitimate question (something Mike picked up on right away), Mike has a history of going on shows and having people try to rile him up or embarrass him and he got sick of it.
In the end, Tyson comes out the winner because it's great publicity for his show. You can't let smug assholes take the piss out of you like that, best to just blow up their show like Mike did.
It was wrong for Tyson to say what he said but it sure felt good watching the presenter squirm and look embarrassed. I am sure he will never push it again.
He didn't look embarrassed he looked satisfied.
Do you think he'd have tried that shit 20 years ago?
Look at the cunts twitter. He's revelling in in the martyrdom.
