Why was Mike Tyson so popular?

[Bill Paxtom]

He was never popular.

He just had a very good publicity machine.

And, when he made some big money, the leeches latched on to him.

Was never popular? Just had a good publicity team?

I would say Tyson made his own publicity...

Give it up Paxtom! LOL

He was the complete package. He enamoured the casual boxing fans and was able to interest even those who had no clue of boxing. For the true boxing fan his power, ring IQ and that Damon peekaboo style was just something to behold. Also his hard luck story from the streets to youngest HW champ was inspiring. His antics at press conferences used to give him evening news exposure. I'm so glad to see he got his shot together and is enjoying life. I hope we see good things from iron Mike productions

If Mike was so popular, and well liked.

Would you leave him alone with your teenage daughter.

Case Closed > Der Max Hitler.

Dude

Just because a man does good, that does not mean he is good.

To use your Hitler example. I'm sure Adolf did good in his life, helped people out etc, that does not meant he was good.

As for trusting Tyson with your teenage daughter ? (Well if I had a teenage daughter) I would not trust any man with her.

That's a very deep thought
