Mike Tyson Says He's "Totally Broke"
Filed under: Mike Tyson
Mike Tyson told the ladies of The View that he's "totally broke" after excessive spending and having "a lot of fun."
The retired boxer says he is now struggling to make ends meet and is living paycheck to paycheck. However, he's absolutely content living with his third wife Lakiha Spicer and their 16-month-old daughter, Milan.
Tyson says:
"I'm totally destitute and broke. But I have an awesome life, I have an awesome wife who cares about me. I'm totally broke. I had a lot of fun. It (going broke) just happened. I'm very grateful. I don't deserve to have the wife that I have; I don't deserve the kids that I have, but I do, and I'm very grateful."
Well, as long as he's happy…

Hey, there's more to life than money. He's gotten to do things most people will never dream of. And he's famous enough that if things get REALLY bad he'll be able to go out and do some bullshit reality TV or nightclub appearances or something so he can pay the rent. He's a lucky man.
Never give a black dude that much money. They are too ghetto to manage it. They need a good jewish accountant to guide them or they will go broke. 18 kids with 6 baby mommas will do that
Wouldn't have just made a lot of money from The Hangover??
Too bad Mike Tyson didn't have better financial advisers throughout his career in the ring…maybe he'd still have a pot to p*ss in today. Is his third wife supporting the family?
Ever notice brothers almost always have trouble hanging onto money? Ever they always have the most excessive homes on "Cribs"?
thats what happens when u buy a house with gold encrusted things
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Welp, He's lived one hell of a life. LOL @ people doing stupid stuff when they are young thinking it's going to last forever especially after retirement. He's an athlete the shelf life of them arn't very long..Most definitely to play ahead.
I feel kind of bad for him, stupid i know. But i know all those hits to his head had to have done some damage. So you know he's not thinking very logically or preparing for his future. I just feel bad for him. But i'm sure theres still stuff he can do, he's still kind of in high demand. Especially after "Hangover"!
I like Mike. He's real. He has had alot of bad shakes in his life and alot of people use him instead of helping him handle his money. I'm glad he has a wife that loves him. He deserves to have love in his life. We all do.
OMG check out this girl's voice!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait a sec here…why is Mike Tyson on a woman's program like The View? What could he possibly have to say to housewives? Wasn't he charged and found guilty of raping Robin Givens years ago? Was it 'Ask The Rapist' day on the show???
OMG check out this girl's voice:

That's sad
WHERE's THE BETTY WHITE on SNL ENCORE??
SHE ROCKED!
oh by the way , shame on THE VEIW for putting him on and ridiculing robin givens
whoopi and sheri i am really surprised at both of you
why do women never seems to support other women?
for shame!
Re: 7tizz – He was married to Robin Givens and abuse was alleged but the rape was of Desiree Washington, a beauty contestant. In any event, now he's apparently become The Brokest Man On the Planet.

Mike is "destitute and broke" but having an awesome life
++
Dollar to a doughnut present wife will file abuse charges
++
And take whatever money/possessions he has
++
Living with N-O **** M-O-N-E-Y **** is a B-I-T-C-H

Wait till R-E-A-L-I-T-Y hits ole MIKEY

When you make and spend a lot of money, you have to keep making a lot of money. Or you go broke real fast. That's why all these people like Beyonce become money making machines. They gotta keep building, and maintaining all that lifestyle "crap." www.terryaley.com
he should make another movie
how do you spend 300 million?
He's probably borderline retarded and that's a shame but people struggle every day working at jobs and trying to do the best they can for food, shelter, clothing and family and he threw money away on anything foolish thing he wanted. Even little kids know that if you have a dollar you shouldn't spend that whole dollar. He's strong he can get a job doing some kind of labor. His wife can work. Put the kid in daycare. Learn how the other half lives. We're probably way happier anyhow.
Soylent green
See Karma does exist. It bit him in the ass big time for being such a jerk for so long.
aawww…
As long as he's happy, I don't really think people should have anything to say. He's obviously humble and if he wants to lead an average life, who is anyone to judge? Good for him!
Re: Trailer Trash says … – Money is like grabbing sand to druggies. They get as much as they can but it's never enough.
Hmm. in life when I have heard this tale and then found out that what one person calls totally broke another calls a fortune. I bet his totally broke is a coupld of mill in the bank!
Stop making kids…you´re broke dude….love this guy…when he was on Oprah she asked him if his cheating days where over….HAHAHHA…..she was sitting in front of him what else is he gonna say……….
Totally broke how the hell did that happen? If he loves his wife and child so much you would think he would go out and get a job to support them. He could be a boxing coach and probably make a ton of money after all who wouldn't want iron Mike Tyson coaching them.
Quite frankly, I don't care. I wouldn't watch him box, nor would I cross the street to spit on him. The View must really be hard up for guests.
he should go into ear surgery
Just a little part of me feels bad for this guy. I mean after all he was not a bright guy to begin with, and then enters Don King. We always here about the 20mill a fight Mike use to get, but never heard that Done was taking more than half that and the IRS was getting half of that.
Its a pity that he did not have a reliable bunch of people to help him along. BUT at least he was not one of these boxers who had to take many blows to the head.
Yeah, I bet it was a lot of fun beating Robin Givens's ass. Fucktard.
Hes so creepy. He always looks like he wants to murder somebody! What kind of idiot tattooes their face? …he's not right.
Re: kissmyassobama – He would shatter your jaw in one punch, You'll me in a coma for a year and then wake up and be like "wtf happened" "Mike tyson kicked ur ass"
he lost a child…he probably is really seeing that the best things in life are free…like kids, love…..it takes a really big person to say this kind of thing…he'lll probably do a video game like Mr T. did.
He had a Jewish manager that treated him like a son and would of watched out for him. But no mr. Bubble head dumps him and now he's F'ed
He is an ass. When the view had him on last week it was new low for them. and that says a lot.
he has money in the bank and says he is destitute? he doesn't know the meaning of the word. i guess destitute to him means he can't afford a limo, prostitute and crystal every day.
Re: Big-package – I'm not so sure on the Jewish accountant thing. A good, hard headed woman could have seen to it that he could have lived nicely his whole life. Oh, wait. He had one, but she was scared away.
Robin Givens and her mother were full of crap, she used him then cleaned him out on her way out the door. She was a money hungry fame whore. BTW where is she now?
And as for the rape charge, I don't believe it, the way that girl was acting and what she was doing, she yelled "rape" when she saw it could get her publicity.
So b4 all you idiots judge him look @ the facts. Amazed me that he got hit w/rape charge while that Kennedy ass who actually DID rape his date got off w/o so much as a fine.
Re: OhBigDeal – I'm not necessarily talking about Givens.
If Mike opened a gym that also offered boxing, with the right set-up and the right people and location, they'd come, and he might be happy.
sad because mike trusted some of the wrong people, he should have kept hiss old boxing managers.
[re=5003211]Re: BUTCH8844[
your right as i mention mignht got rid of the good peoplemt hat help him and were taking care of him, but he let fame and people like don king used him.
Re: @v@ – His second wife claimed that he had committed adultery when she filed for divorce in 2002 prior to the Lennox Lewis fight. Lewis had announced his intention to rid the boxing world of crybabies & tomato cans and sent Iron Mike off to Palookaville.
Re: Cashmere Jay – I read that he already filed for bankruptcy on August 1, 2003. His Bankruptcy ain't really bankruptcy in the average Joe sense. His 48,000-square-foot mansion in Farmington, Connecticut was purchased by 50 Cent for $4.1 million on 21 Sept 2003. Tyson reportedly earned over $400 million in his career, yet he was $34 million in debt before his 2005 fight with Kevin McBride, for which he was paid $5 million vs. McBride's $150,000.
It's all been mismanaged by somebody. He could have lived like a king off the interest and never touch the principle.
Re: NookiesWA – He,d rape your mama bitch.
balance checkbook asshole
Poor Mike. It was great to watch him fight, before the "bad beating" he received from Busta Douglas and the "chunk of flesh" he bit off from Evander Hollyfield's ear. What a end to one who was arguable one of the most fearsome boxers of all time!
Yeah, well, his superyacht Summerwind is still floating around…
He's probably richer now in life than he has ever been. Hope so.
