Mike Tyson was heavyweight champion, stinking rich, and a kid. He was 20 years old, probably closer to 15 emotionally. What could go wrong? The fact that he is still in the public eye, never gets into trouble anymore, and has turned from an ex-champ/ex-con to still a fan favorite, is awesome! He had a tough life. He deserves it.
Mike May have been reckless with his money, but he was a true giver with a heart of gold. If everyone had a heart like that, there’d be no such thing as world hunger!
Mike hates the idea of money and capitalism. He cares about who people are, not what he can get out of them. We're talking about a man that would cry before and after his fights because he doesn't like to hurt people that haven't wronged him.
When you come from nothing, money doesn’t mean everything to you… ppl who experience what most ppl call struggling, is actually more peaceful and humble with love, any testimony on death ppl always say they felt the most peace and love they have never felt before, money isn’t everything to mike
Mike tyson was misused by ppl way too much cause he was open, honest and straight forward. I still love seeing Don King getting hit by somebody today. Or being ignored, cause that's what he deserves. Tyson in the other hand got tricked and robbed cause cashcows and greedy mf'ers wanted to all be a part of it. Mike is generous though and a legend. He will stay a champ just like Ali and Foreman. And a couple of other all time greats I might not recollect recall/come to mind right now. But Mike is just Mike. Exploited to the max, but didnt let it get in his way now living a healthy and more normal and earned life. Full with knowledge and reading much about many subjects. Still love Mike till this day. He shines more and more as he gets older, which ppl wouldnt give him regarding his life style when he was younger. But he outclassed the leeches. And living and still shining. Iron Mike, still a champ!
Michael S. - Nonsense. They were doing their jobs as managers and accountants. Iron Mike was giving away money like it was candy at the time, they were just trying to retrieve as much as they could!
Ppl don't realize how lonely Mike literally was back then especially after loosing his mentor even before he met Robin Givins & married her , he had no real family or real friends left at that point everyone already died that he loved other than Kevin Rooney his trainer!!!! Mike just wanted to be wanted & loved hence why he give all his money away , his story is so sad but so inspiring too !!! I could never hate Mike even in the mid 90's when he became Nightmare Tyson , i still didn't hate him because i already knew his history because it was well documented already!!!!! Im so glad he is happy these days & is a giant inspiration & role model for everyone!!!! ❤
What, the one about how a bunch of guys went out and partied and drank a lot one night, and the rich guy who's now broke paid for everything and then pretended to give one of his buddies a car, but realized how dumb he was and had someone go get it back, because of course he's not going to give someone a car like that? That story?
@Holymakinaw I don't know where you're getting your info from but, Mike Tyson isn't broke by any means right now. There are other inconsistencies with your oversimplified breakdown but, I'd rather let you stay bitter and ignorant.
As of less than a year ago, he was only worth about 500K. He basically pissed away 300 million dollars. I see that now he's back up to a 3 million net worth, but that will be gone soon enough, I bet. "Oversimplified", eh? LMAO. The guy bought out bars, and gave away cars, and bought a tiger, for fuck's sake. Like a lot of athletes........NOT too smart.
WOW. bastards....Mike had alot of users around him back then. Mike gave away alot. I remember he came to the veer projects in Brooklyn with a trailer full of ninja bikes. Gave them all away. Range Rovers to. crazy
Okay, it took what ninety seconds too knock the guy n his prime, except who took a little longer, Riddick Bowe and Frank Bruno, Larry Holmes took a little longer, and still humble n his own way he's like one of the guys and everyone still gushes... God Almighty bless you 🙏 and have a wonderful day today and stay safe and strong 💪 n these unpredictable evil Babylonian times....
This isn’t the first time he’s done this. My old boss trained with Cuss and was friends with Mike. He would come into town to party and did the same thing with a Mercedes. My boss had his Mercedes for almost a year until a manager called him about it lol.
That was an awesome story! Mike Tyson was, and still is generous to a fault. I believe the Mike Tyson we are getting to experience today is the Mike Tyson that always was. He's still "The Baddest Man on the Planet!"
i'm 62 he'll always be the champ to me...roy jones...lol he took it very easy on him...one last thing headbutt holyfield getting just what he deserves now....cant hardly talk and stuff and mike in great shape
The world is definately a better far more entertaining place with iron Mike Tyson in it ....the old Tyson and the new Tyson are just complete legends in my book ....and I know the word legend is thrown around far far to loosely nowadays but in Tysons case he is a absolute legend
You're probably being facetious, but I'm gonna respond anyways lol. The key to wealth has never been about how much you make, but how you spend. People with bad spending habits like Mike will almost always end up broke no matter how rich they were.
Wow Ed lover, that was a great story. I'm from Harlem, love you guys. Miss you on satellite radio. Mike Tyson will forever be the champ in my book.....
I met ed lover when i was a receptionist at a promotion comany in NYC and he was the coolest, funnirst person i met. I learned a valuable lesson from him in his most comedic fashion.. love him. ( edited misspellings)
i used to live across town from mike. he was in i think bernardsville nj and i was in millington. maybe basking rigge, i always confuse the 2. passed by his house on way to voorhees nj on way to wrestling tourney. i think thats where jason got his name.
Lmao Holy fuck no wonder Mike went through all that money just giving people 450 thousand dollar cars and shit. I guarantee Ed wasnt the only one he did that for he prob has given at least 25 of those cars away lol
Phill Smith they should hang Don King up like a heavy bag and let every fighter he’s Robbed do a workout on on him... round one jabs round two hooks from three powershotz lol
True story- Mike's friends used to fight over doing his laundry and dry clean his clothes. Mike used to forget he left $16,000 in his clothes and his "friends" would take that shit.
Man , Ed Lover sure knows how to tell the story, set up , delivery all on point
Mikey Tyson had such a big heart. Wonderful person.
*HAS a big heart.
🙌👋👍
He used to have a big wallet too
I love Mike but I wouldn't call it a big heart, I'd call it here responsible
Ron Miles it’s called “irresponsible”
His Tyson's impression is so on point and unforced.

The more I hear about the *REAL* Iron Mike, the more I love this guy.
Say whatcha want, you are not changing my mind.
poot111111 one of the realest human beings
No, no, your comment ith 100% juthtifiable.
poot111111 met him once before. Was surreal
You have to read his book, i give it 10 stars
🙌👌👍

Wow!!! My jaw dropped when he said I wanted u to have that car. Smh they robbed ed lover. It’s still a fantastic life. Great story.
Michael S. Just imagine how much more was mike robbed
Max A multiple were robbed by a giant leech, unfortunately still around today.
We all know who de bloodsucker is.

That is one of the best stories I have ever heard. Mike Tyson is a bastion of fascination.
Yup
Don't tell him that or he may make you sit on it
wut
I’ve been obsessed with Mike Tyson videos all day. Greatest day of my life.
That was actually an amazing story
Herb Toker Checkout Starter two videos on RUclips "Johnny Dang and Im Balling"!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥please share!!!
Checkout Starter two videos on RUclips "Johnny Dang and Im Balling"!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥please share!!!
THAT IS WHY WE STILL LOVE TYSON TO THIS DAY! THE MAN'S A LEGEND!!!
Someone should animate this story.
That story had everything
You can’t take the money with you when you die. You fought for it you can spend it give it away or burn it. Great story.
That actually was a pretty great story, I got worried half way thru cuz it went on and on but it was worth it in the end
noxabel Great story!
noxabellus shut the hell up!
Stfu
i dont know what yalls problem is I said I fuckin liked it in the end you shit bags
Paulo Ecletik yeah it was Mike's Manager
Damm that was a hell of a story.
What, the one about how a bunch of guys went out and partied and drank a lot one night, and the rich guy who's now broke paid for everything and then pretended to give one of his buddies a car, but realized how dumb he was and had someone go get it back, because of course he's not going to give someone a car like that?

+Holymakinaw it's his shit ,he can do whatever he wants.
And we can laugh at him for it, too.
Wow that story lived up to the hype lol
Buying out an entire bar before giving his buddy a Bentley is the most Mike Tyson thing Mike Tyson has ever done.
That actually was a great story.
I knew in my heart Mike gave him that car! I fuckin knew it. It thoroughly hurt me when he said it. I took this VERY personal lol.
The champ!
Scooters
Sorry!!!!

Ed Lover tells great stories.
Mike is a hero of mine, not necessarily bc of his hands, but more and more bc of his growth.
Ed imitating Mike's voice is so on point.
Yo what up ed its good to hear a classic figure tell a story about another classic figure you two are legends
Ed lover sound like Mike Tyson with a deeper voice
Great story Mike was always giving, he understands his purpose in life.
Bedtime stories with Ed Lover!
sounds like the title of a pedophile movie
And that Ladies and Gentlemen, is how you blow through 450 million dollars
Actually, most of that was stolen by Don King....who's admitted to robbing quite a few fighters, including Mike, Ali, Foreman, etc......
Lawsuits is what takes entertainers money
Can't take it with you
600 million ;)
He made half of it back. You can’t take it with you when you die.
That manager is a son of a bitch.
That was crazy. Why didn't he call The Champ and remind him he has his car. that would of been $450k phone call.
Mike tyson and dmx stories never disappoint
WOW. bastards....Mike had alot of users around him back then. Mike gave away alot. I remember he came to the veer projects in Brooklyn with a trailer full of ninja bikes. Gave them all away. Range Rovers to. crazy
damnn he probably don't even think twice about that stuff thats so dope man.
Okay, it took what ninety seconds too knock the guy n his prime, except who took a little longer, Riddick Bowe and Frank Bruno, Larry Holmes took a little longer, and still humble n his own way he's like one of the guys and everyone still gushes...

That was an awesome story! Mike Tyson was, and still is generous to a fault. I believe the Mike Tyson we are getting to experience today is the Mike Tyson that always was. He's still "The Baddest Man on the Planet!"
I knew it. As soon as Ed starting telling how much time went by, I was like "mike gave him that car, he just doesn't know it"
I've heard multiple stories from people that have met the champ and how down to earth he is.
This is my favorite Mike Tyson story, closely followed by Charlie Murphy's story about pulling up to Mike's house and watching him playing a Tiger lol
Rory and John Horn did the same thing to my father! Swear to God!!
Perfect Tyson impression
One of the best vids about Mike Tyson
Mike is the fuckin man!!!!!!!
That was love. Real friendship.
Gotta love Mike!!!
That was worth the wait. Awesome story!
Mike Tyson, is a much better person than we give him credit for.
Best story hands down! Ed Lover is so chill. If you’re in ATL stop by his comedy club
i'm 62 he'll always be the champ to me...roy jones...lol he took it very easy on him...one last thing headbutt holyfield getting just what he deserves now....cant hardly talk and stuff and mike in great shape
Definitely the best mike tyson story I've ever heard that wasn't my own.
amazing story love it
Truman Brown A.
When he started saying a week went by and still no phone call i knew Mike didn't care about the Car
“You bastards owe me $450000! 😂😂😂 No cap.
We cannot deny mike tyson lived a crazy life
that might be the greatest Mike Tyson story ever
That was a 100% solid gold diamond encrusted top shelf great story!
The best Tyson story I have ever heard.
The story with Tyson at Ditkas steakhouse was probably rhe funniest shit i ever heard.
Truly legendary! Long live the Champ!
So, THAT was the best Mike Tyson story.
The world is definately a better far more entertaining place with iron Mike Tyson in it ....the old Tyson and the new Tyson are just complete legends in my book ....and I know the word legend is thrown around far far to loosely nowadays but in Tysons case he is a absolute legend
That car is sitting at John Horns crib right nowin HIS garage.
“You bastards owe me $450, 000 for a car Mike Tyson gave me.” that is an incredible story
Goes to show u how great of a man Mike Tyson really is man that was a great story.
All that was missing at the end was the curb your enthusiasm theme song.
I can't believe it. He actually cashed that check. That WAS the single greatest Mike Tyson story I've ever heard.
yea everybody loved mike. hes the real ppl champ and he never tells other ppl what hes done for other individuals.
Enjoyed the story. Thanks Ed for sharing.
Fuuuck I caught second hand salt from this story
Dawg that was heart breaking. NOOOOOOOO
Only one way for Ed to get that money....call the goons and press those fools.
Death over a material possession sounds like you would be a great ruler.
I'm legit mad for Ed Lover.
Grandmaster Buu fuck off
When someone ask you, " Do you have 'one' of Mike Tyson's cars", you know that brother had a fleet of vehicles.
That's a great story! I got to hang out with Ed Lover once and he was one of the coolest people ever so I can imagine him and MIke together.
Hard to believe Tyson had financial problems.
You're probably being facetious, but I'm gonna respond anyways lol. The key to wealth has never been about how much you make, but how you spend. People with bad spending habits like Mike will almost always end up broke no matter how rich they were.
the champ gave ed a bentley
Ed Lover, Thanks for sharing! Best one I've heard so far! 😂😂😂
Wow Ed lover, that was a great story. I'm from Harlem, love you guys. Miss you on satellite radio. Mike Tyson will forever be the champ in my book.....
This John dude woulda been sleeping with the fishes if that had happen to me
Mike Tyson made $500m during his career, then ended up with -$26m. That's the best story.
My god when he’s impersonating mike he sounds just like him 🤣🤣🤣💀🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
I met ed lover when i was a receptionist at a promotion comany in NYC and he was the coolest, funnirst person i met. I learned a valuable lesson from him in his most comedic fashion.. love him. ( edited misspellings)
Same when he crashes his rolls royce and told police officers to keep it lol
Wow! What a story' By far the best one ive heard!
Ed Lover you are awesome! Great story!
i used to live across town from mike. he was in i think bernardsville nj and i was in millington. maybe basking rigge, i always confuse the 2. passed by his house on way to voorhees nj on way to wrestling tourney. i think thats where jason got his name.
Thats probably the best story i ever heard.
I believe him too, Mike Tyson has a big heart.
Mike Tyson is the coolest guy EVER
Lmao Holy fuck no wonder Mike went through all that money just giving people 450 thousand dollar cars and shit. I guarantee Ed wasnt the only one he did that for he prob has given at least 25 of those cars away lol
Colton W exactly
Mike made like 80-90 million back then..
Mike didn't go through his money as much as Don King stole it from him.
Don robbed them all from Ali to Tyson and everybody in between.
Phill Smith they should hang Don King up like a heavy bag and let every fighter he’s Robbed do a workout on on him... round one jabs round two hooks from three powershotz lol
OhhhJimmyboy i believe he did beat don king up if im not mistaken.
Now that was a great story...fuuuuuck he should’ve talked to mike before giving it back 😂😂
Mike Tyson always have had a big heart man. Love the champ.
Wow
It's cool to see Ed lover
It's been decades since I've seen him
Hell yeah
Storytelling at its finest.
Mike Tyson is a good man.
Great story Ed! Mike is the greatest!
I really thought Mike was gonna ask him where his car was. lol
True story- Mike's friends used to fight over doing his laundry and dry clean his clothes. Mike used to forget he left $16,000 in his clothes and his "friends" would take that shit.
I always love Mike Tyson - Big heart! He gave a lot...He gave a lot!! Nothing but respect for Mike Tyson
Mike Tyson a real one
Now I understand how Mike Tyson spent all his money.
30 bottles of Champagne...
Cynical_Bear thats like 15 grand!!
on top of what he spent to buy out the bar and the asshole didn't want to let him in the club??
Awesome story, thanks.
