He deserves what he got? His whole life, he was been taken advantage off. He is not mentally an adult, IMO. After his original manager died, his life, and boxing career, just went to hell. Don King used him, and sucked him dry of all his money.
From what I've heard too, the attorney that represented him in the rape trial was AWFUL, and, other lawyers have said that if the evidence had been presented correctly, there is a strong possibility he wouldn't of been convicted.

I knew a guy who boxed in the olympics years ago and he was working as a driver for a vending company making $400.00 week.
I asked him where his money was? He said boxing is extremely crooked (big surprise!) and all he walked away with was the Cadillac he was driving.
I'm sure Iron Mike got taken atvantage of but....he has acknowledged spending gobs of money. Can you feel sorry for someone who doesn't save for a rainy day?

I would like to see an accounting of his expenditures, and his I.Q. level, before I start to feel bad for him.
Come on...some one who gets beat in the head for a living...should think far enough in advance to get someone to watch his money...

England's Worcester Canoe Club set the world record for paddling a hand-propelled bathtub. The 25 man team covered a distance of 55 miles, 425 yards in 24 hours on September 28 and 29, 1979.

It's not b/c of boxing. His mind is not fully developed IMO. He doesn't seem to know the difference between right and wrong, and, to me, he seems like a child. A child that has made everyone around him rich, except for himself.

His WWE Wrestlemania appearance netted him $3 million clean. So even if boxing is really that messed up, he should still have had a security net somewhere.
Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....

Right on the mark - Cus D'Amato was more than a manager, he was a mentor, role model, and a father figure for Tyson. When he died so early in Mike's career, back in 1985, it left a large void in Mike's life. Mike could have been so much more, both as a boxer and a human being if only Cus had not died.
