Report: Mike Tyson banned from New Zealand, well deserved or do you think he has the right to travel there?

Leave a comment

Iron Mike, is banned from going to New Zealand ’cause he was going to attend an event to speak at, “Day of the Champions”, in Auckland. They cancelled his visa due to his 1992 rape conviction.

More on the story, here.

While I do respect, Iron Mike’s legacy with boxing, he really is a piece of garbage and this is New Zealand’s way of telling him that he’s a piece of garbage. Once a rapist, always a rapist, doesn’t matter how long ago it was. New Zealand is just scared of him, and they’re just trying to protect their women. They’re afraid he might do it again. He had other legal troubles in the past, other than rape, so I can’t blame them for not trusting the guy. This is called, karma, funny how this works.

Report: PETA not happy with Tyson’s pigeon show, “Taking on Tyson”…

Leave a comment

PETA, the animal rights group, have seen the debut episode of Mike Tyson’s new show “Taking on Tyson”, which aired last night on ANIMAL PLANET. Of course, PETA is not happy with the legendary boxer. The show is about Tyson’s love for Pigeons and it’s about the sport of pigeon racing (yes, it’s an actual sport).

PETA claims that the sport takes the birds away from their families and forces them into injuries or even death.

See the story here, at the Hollywood Reporter.

I actually watched, “Taking on Tyson” last night. I liked the show, it was pretty interesting and inspiring. Most reality shows sucks because most reality shows are scripted and um, not, “real”. Well this show was pretty realistic.

I do know what PETA is going through so I understand them completely, honestly. On last nighit’s show, they just take any bird they see and throw them in the Pigeon coop to prepare for the races. So it is kind of torturing and abusive to the birds.

I usually disagree with PETA on a lot of things, but this one I actually agree with them. It is a good show though. I’ll watch it every Sunday night,  since I’m a fan of Iron Mike.

Cool Video: “Iron” Mike Tyson on Oprah…

Leave a comment

In the past, “Iron” Mike Tyson maybe one of the world’s most hated boxers and the most controversial in sports, but now that he is a full grown man, he wants to show the world that he is not the monster that people are making him out to be.

I think he is doing a very good job at it too. He really makes you feel like he’s a human being and actually feel sorry for him.

I usually hate Oprah Winfrey but this is one of the best episodes she’s done in a long time. In this emotional and sad interview, Iron Mike opens up on a lot of things, like domestic violence, rape, biting Holyfield’s ear, his daughter, etc.

In the movie, “Tyson”, Iron Mike never talked about the Holyfield incident in the film but Oprah asked him about it in this interview. Mike claims the reason he bit Holyfield was that Holyfield was winning the match, getting the most punches and Mike was upset about it.

I would reccomend you to see the movie, “Tyson” as well. Very good film. One of the best sports films I’ve seen in a long time.

Report: Think Tyson is upset of his daughter’s death? Think again…his producers says he’s fine and good…

Leave a comment

I’m sure some may think that “Iron” Mike Tyson maybe heartbroken and think his life maybe over ’cause of the death of his 4 year old daughter, but his producers says he is fine and good. They say he can “deal with this” and he’s pulling through this for his family.

I’m sure Tyson feels a little sad of Exodus’s death, but it seems to me, not that sad.

Of course, “Iron” Mike wouldn’t feel that emotion. No surprise. He cares about himself, his life with boxing and the fame. Hmmmm, no wonder why he is hardily ever at home much when he should be home with his family. His movie, “The Hangover”, must be more important.

While, “Iron” Mike Tyson, maybe the most hated fighter and the most hated Hollywood celebrity, he is still a human being and that is still his daughter. You should still give him and the Tyson family the respect through these difficult times.

Thoughts and prayers go out to “Iron” Mike and his family. This is heartbreaking. Accidental deaths can happen to anybody at anytime. It’s so sad when children die like that. RIP Exodus.

The 4 year old daughter of boxing legend, “Iron” Mike Tyson, was found hanging on a treadmill cable, while she was playing alone around the mansion where the Tyson family lives. The girl’s mother was cleaning the house who sent her 7 year old son to find where he found the girl on the treadmill. She is still alive but in critical condition.

“Iron” Mike himself was not at home, but returned home asap after hearing about the accident of his daughter.

What a irresponsible family!!! The Tyson’s live in a huge mansion where anything could happen to those kids if they wandered off alone, not being watched by anybody.

What, Tyson’s daughter was in her playroom and she wandered off in Tyson’s gym? That’s probably what happened.

What kind of mother is she, let her play alone by herself and thinking nothing dangerous would happen. It wouldn’t surprise me if “Iron” Mike is giving his wife all kinds of shit about it.

Leave a comment

Former Catskill, N.Y. native “Iron” Mike Tyson attended  the “Cannes Film Festival” in France over the weekend where he debuted his new documentary titled “Tyson” directed by his friend James Toback. The film “Tyson” is a documentary about the fighters life. After the film got over with, Tyson got some respect from the audience by giving the man a standing ovation applause. Tyson admits to living a troubled life, by being addicted to dangerous drugs, being involved with dangerous and bad people, sleeping with married women, etc.

The Associated Press reports:

Even though he had a troubled life, it’s nice to see Tyson get some respect for once. He’s gotten too much hate over the years.

He is a talented fighter and a legend, like him or not. Tyson may have an ego problem, but heck, all boxers have egos. A lot of fighters do, the ego is what helps them get up there in their careers.
