Can you believe Mike Tyson filed for Chapter 11? They say he went thru $300 million dollars. How does one person spend all that money in their lifetime? Just give me a million and I will show you how to live on it for the rest of your life.
Do you think Mike is washed up?
The local Las Vegas radio station is taking up a collection for poor Mike (he may have actually gone through as much as $500 million).
So far, they have had some nice donations.
One caller kindly offered to give Mike a pot so he could piss in it.
Granted, a boxer’s brains usually resemble oatmeal after about 40 fights, but geez…half a billion dollars down the tubes? What an idiot. You would think one advisor could have convinced him to buy a couple of apartment buildings or something.
By they way, if anybody is in Las Vegas, you can drive by Mike’s house…practically next door to Wayne Newton’s…a huge complex near the corner of Sunset and Pecos. Bring your checkbook…ought to be one hell of a garage sale coming up.
Last year, our family went to Hawaii on vacation, and happened to be on Maui at the same time Mike Tyson was there, training for whatever fight was coming up. According to the driver of our rental van, who was friends with a lot of the other drivers on the island (that’s two steps away from direct knowlege, if anyone is keeping track), Mike’s entourage was pillaging him for everything they could get. They kept him drugged and calm, and then just before the fight stopped (or changed) his meds so he went totally whacko. And while he was in the calm stage, they bought diamonds, cars, fancy meals, houses, whatever they could find for sale, and charged it to Mike. From what he said, they weren’t even trying to pretend about what they were doing.
