A Fighter's Beginnings


Mike Tyson was born in 1966 in Brooklyn, New York.

He grew up in poverty, surrounded by crime.

 

At the age of 13, he had been arrested 38 times.


Boxing became his escape—and eventually, his purpose.


At 16, he met Cus D’Amato, a trainer who became his mentor and father figure.

D’Amato instilled discipline, self-belief, and the psychological edge that would define Tyson’s career.


Under his guidance, Tyson’s raw talent turned into greatness.

 

The Youngest Champion in History


At just 20 years old, Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion ever.

His unmatched power earned him the nickname “Iron Mike.”


By the late ’80s, he was dominating boxing and amassing a $400M fortune.


Tyson was unstoppable and unapologetic:


Abstained from sex for 5 years to focus on boxing


Offered $10,000 to fight a gorilla at the zoo


Owned three Bengal tigers, spending $270K on their care


He was boxing’s undisputed king.


The Fall


In 1990, Tyson’s undefeated streak ended in a shocking loss to Buster Douglas.


What followed was a whirlwind of legal troubles, reckless spending, and a prison sentence.


By 2003, despite earning $400M, Tyson declared bankruptcy. He was $23M in debt.


“I was young, rich, and stupid,” Tyson later admitted.


Reinvention


But Tyson refused to stay down.


In the 2010s, he reemerged as an entertainer and entrepreneur:


Launched Mike Tyson Mysteries, an animated TV show


Published a bestselling memoir, Undisputed Truth


Starred in movies like The Hangover


His biggest pivot came in 2016, when he entered the cannabis industry.


The Cannabis Empire


Tyson 2.0, his cannabis brand, is now worth $160M.

His ranch reportedly generates over $1M per month.


Mike Tyson didn’t just rebuild—he created a global business empire.


The Return to the Ring


On November 15, 2024, at 58 years old, Tyson fought Jake Paul in front of a packed AT&T Stadium.


The fight broke viewership records as Netflix’s first live boxing event, generating $17.8M in gate revenue.


While Tyson lost by unanimous decision, he earned $20M—proof of his enduring star power.


Lessons from Iron Mike


Tyson’s life is a masterclass in reinvention.

From $400M earned, to $23M lost, to a $160M cannabis empire.


As Tyson says:

“It’s not over until you’re dead.”


It’s not just about knocking others out—it’s about getting back up after life knocks you down.

THE MOST TOUCHING STORY ON THE INTERNET

  THE MOST TOUCHING STORY ON THE INTERNET  This is the most heart touching story that I have read in a long time. Jim preaches at a church in the slums of New York.  He tells the following story:   It was Easter Sunday, and I was so tired at the end of the day that I just went to the edge of the platform, pulled down my tie and sat down and draped my feet over the edge.    https://www.profitablegatecpm.com/an2mgwfy?key=d4d2c16ea95bb7636c1098e57b840698 It was a wonderful service with many people coming forward. The counselors were talking with these people. As I was sitting there, I looked up the middle aisle, and there in about the third row was a man who looked about fifty, disheveled, filthy. He looked up at me rather sheepishly, as if saying, “Could I talk to you?” We have homeless people coming in all the time, asking for money or whatever. So, as I sat there, I said to myself, though I am ashamed of it, “What a way to end a Sunday. I’ve had ...

FACTS ABOUT THE 19500s WHEN PEOPLE PEED IN POTS AND SOLD IT TO SURVIVE

FACTS ABOUT THE 1500s WHEN PEOPLE PEED IN POTS AND SOLD IT TO SURVIVE  They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery. If you had to do this to survive you were “piss poor.” But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn’t even afford to buy a pot; they “didn’t have a pot to piss in” & were the lowest of the low. The next time you are washing your hands & complain because the water temperature isn’t just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s. Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June. Since they were starting to smell, however, brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had th...
