(Radio Talk show) Mike Tyson oddly enough owns a mansion in Ohio.
What there's or did right surprising all by its up and I guess that's where I
used to train. So now this mansion is completely a bad it's like Citizen Kane
it's like well it's like in, you know and Kubla Khan that Xanadu a stately
pleasure-dome decree; this is, it's crazy that. But, where in Ohio is this is it?
It's in Southington Ohio, which is about 20 miles away from Dom Kings facility where
he would train. But, it's like, it's in the middle of nowhere Ohio.
Right it's a long way it's, right 20 miles north you but it's like
it's 55 miles southeast of Cleveland. Like this is not, this is not where I if
I were an American; would build a mansion. All right let's take a look at it, cuz we
got through, we could see some inside of Mike Tyson mansion. Yeah it's really
clever. It is it's totally like, oh. I like the private property sign like, if
nobody knew that was private property. Just right there on the gate. You can you can
to imagine where the parties will start. [That] were're thrown in this house.
As you start to go through it you can see there were rooms where it starts to get a little bit
more fun with. There was one that actually has a mirror on the ceiling of
the jacuzzi, I sure Mike. What's that a dollar bill looks like somebody's
graffiti on the mirror. That's where I'm caught; the gold-plated
steam room shower door looks awesome, that's amazing
This is a pool that is larger than an average U.S. home.
I've caught this in the Daily Mail. Yeah so, uh it definitely had some fun. The funny
thing is, I want to talk about this one, it looks, I like the infrastructure of it
looks very classy for Mike Tyson. But, what I'm saying is for 1.3 million this
sold in 1999. What do you think this would go for nowadays? With this size,
Depending on where is; in Los Angeles, this is a 10 million dollar home.
Oh yeah, it's 20, 25 million dollar home depending on where it is.
But, I mean, you're 50 miles southeast of Cleveland right; like you know it's a
little tough to find the market for this. Because who's gonna want to spend,
necessarily, 1.3 million to live there? Like if you're choosing to live there,
[you] don't want to spend 1.3 Million dollars on your property. Although,
I was just up at the Hearst Castle
earlier this month; like it's unlivable, Herst Castle in many ways; it
doesn't seem like... No one... You can't, granted there was no TVs then.
But, there's nowhere where you could like put your feet up, read the paper, relax
have a cup of coffee. Everything is imported from Italy and
it looks European, where is at least there, except
for the insanity of the gold-plated steam room, like that fool look nice, like
I've suspected that way it's kind of a cool room; but it's open, you got as
good a view of 50 miles south of Cleveland as you can get. Yeah, all right
let me, I want to read this a couple of quotes, yeah, from the Daily Mail who
actually posted it. I don't these two sentences are just placed next to each
other and it's really inconvenient for both; because for one it says Tyson was
supposed to sell it in 1999, for 1.3 million following his conviction for
rape due to financial problems; directly unbelief the developers would like Tyson
to attend the first gathering inside the church when it is complete. That's
because they're gonna be turning this mansion, who are the people who bought
this property want it to be a church. Did they see who they bought it from? Who was the next guy to buy it? It was
a TV marketer named Paul Monet, he's the guy who bought it for 1.3 million in
1999; he never lived in it. He has something in common with Mike Tyson convicted of
conspiracy and money laundering charges in 2007.
He'll be in prison until 2018. Wow well, in 2018 he has a grand, probably
graffitied, steam room shower.
And he's at least, so I mean, I just got behind paying the taxes on the property
that's what began his money problems. It just it
reminds me of, if any others of you seen the Foxcatcher, help me out with what
the guy who Steve Karl's character; that's like, the creepiest looking character.
The Foxcatcher right, yeah. Absolutely, because like when you have those pictures and those pictures to
obviously make that connection to it because there's the snow on the ground
and the trees are dead. It creeps me out like I couldn't imagine;
if you don't have 50 people to live with you
Can you imagine what Mike Tyson's doing just if it's just him in this 10,000 square foot castle?
Everyone's imagines the same thing we could all
stop we can all forget about buying it; because, it was sold at a sheriff sale
again the guys in prison you know, he never lived there, sold at a sheriff's
sale in 2010 through a health club entrepreneur named Ron Hemelgone for
six hundred thousand dollars plus the back tax, that's what it went for
600 thousand plus back taxes. Wow, sounds like he never lived there either. So
is no evidence anybody ever going to live there? NO, he donated the property
December 30th, 2014 to the Living Word sanctuary. Which plans to turn the
party pad into a, this is from USA Today, into a house of worship and youth center.
Well, I mean, I suppose with Mike Dyson turning his life around and becoming a
poetic figure it kind of comes full circle that his house is now gonna
be a spiritual place. Because he's now spiritual guy.
Those photographs are taken by a guy named Johnny Joo 24 years old , J-O-O; just to be clear.
(Laughing) They just call him Johnny Joo. That's an amazing story, that nobody's
lived there since 1999 and that is incredible.
Sold for 1.3 million and 600,000 of back taxes [and] they donate it.
A cool thing to tweet about, be like; I bought Mike Tyson's house once. Yeah, no big deal.
Definitely gained some followers. Is that a thing young people say?
You should be used to that Miami Q and XM and (unintelligible) for a long time.
Alright, guys, I got it's like that's that's the future about Mike Tyson's ranch.
