Gotta be tough for him to come out there with his tail between his legs and feel like he's being treated like a spectacle. I mean..he's gotta make money and he's Iron freakin Mike Tyson...he's not going to work at a McDonalds.
Yeah but it's hardly a disappointment in life to not consider yourself one of the top ten greatest people at whatever it is you do is it?

The thing with Tyson, and he's one of my all time favourite boxers, is that everything that happened to him was entirely his own doing. I'm not saying that he is without excuse because we all know of his hard upbringing and the fact that his transformation from man into monster was basically encouraged by those around him, but nonetheless he still is 100% responsible for what has happened in his life.

For me personally if I could fill a venue of 20 people paying a fiver each to watch me spar I would consider that an amazing success!

I know Tyson had a far greater lifestyle before but still he's got a potentially great life ahead of him and loads to be happy about.

When you consider that some insensatives on this board consider it no big deal when somebody dies a la Steve Irwin then I find it even more baffling when people lament it as a great tragedy that Tyson is probably now only earning $1,000,000 per year as opposed to $50,000,000.

There are a lot of people in this world to feel sorry for, but Mike Tyson isn't one of them
