Tyson being Tyson

[ruthless rocco]

On live TV in Canada. Calls host a "rat piece of shit..." Hahaha

[Master]

Tyson should learn to be more restraint it could hit his positive attitude that he needs to maintain.

[Beanflicker]

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".

[bradlee180]

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.

[Manos de Piedra]

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.

[Dia bando]

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.

[Spicoli]

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'

[ykdadamaja]

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.

[chris6878]

He deserved what he got. Tyson didn't raped that bitch, so he shouldn't even fuckin mentioned it.

[p4pking]

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.

[bradlee180]

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...

[bradlee180]

floyd mayweather has punched out about 7 women over the years as well, but plenty of folks have no problem with that either...

[Violent Demise]

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
