Mike is a famous person, just like O.J.Simpson or other unfortunate spotlight people. I can understand that it`s hard for him to live a "normal" life when the greed of other individuals tries taking a bite out of their Stardom status to possibly maybe make a few bucks.

I don`t know Mike, just follow the events in the news and TV and honestly believe that he`s not all that bad as some portray him to be. He`s a person who made the American dream come true in his life.
WE should all respect this and especially those bugging Photographers who probably would go a long way to get the shot they want.

I believe Mike Tysons version of the incident.

How about writting a letter to the editor of the RJ? Will it change anything? Probably not, but you can bring light to the situation, and hopefully a parent or two will read it.

And this Vegas news, how? It happened at LAX, and as far as I know, Tyson doesn't live here. I could be wrong, I just don't think that it's that big of a deal. Where's the thread about Andre Agassi admitting in his book that he'd been hooked on meth while playing tennis, hating the game, and wearing a bad rug?

He's just misunderstood.


YouTube - Mike Tyson Flips out at Tyson-Lewis Press Conference Jan 22,

There are uncensored versions that are very NSFW.

I'd for MIKE on this one as well.

As a white person who has lived in Korea/Japan for years...while things aren't so bad now, I was first here in 1996 when white people created a lot of attention.

Believe me, it is NOT easy to have people stare, point, talk about you and follow you around all of the time, and try to look into the windows, watch you while you eat, and watch you while you use the urinals.

Back in '96, when foreigners were very unusual and strange to be seen in Korea, I knew of MANY MANY foreigners who'd just snap something vicious after the 50th bizarre stare/bother incident while they are trying to do something.

Granted, I'm not famous, no one cares what I personally do, but I did get a little small slice of what celebrities must experience but theirs is on a much grander scale.

Even worse, as a white guy in Korea, I can just tell someone to F-off and it won't hit the major newspapers. Celebrities don't get that luxery.

I didn't know that he lived in the area. I rarely follow sports, and boxing isn't one of them.
