mike tyson now wants to be a boxing promoter that's how he wants to revive
his
career NY was talking about press conference he opened up about some
demons that he's been facing for quite some time now let's take a look at the
video
I have a drink drugs in sick they
for me it's a miracle
I've been lying to everybody else think no soap I'm not
its mass text a never use again so few years ago actually
last year he came out and said that he had been sober for about three years
he has been fighting an addiction to alcohol for a very very long time
am but now through that a press conference we realize that he did lie
about his sobriety
I you know he has dealt with so many difficult situations in his life a few
years ago his 4-year-old I'd
as a result a treadmill cord wrapped around her neck
and of course that was devastating to him in his wife and you know it
the I can't even imagine going through something like that so
you it was hard to believe that he could remain sober after something like that
because a lot of people do turn to drugs and alcohol to cope with situations like
that
I'm but so I'm torn on Anna because
look it's a it's very understandable at the same time
it provides a an excuse and I don't mean to give anyone an excuse
I'm just saying that I mean when you lose a child it's so traumatic that I
mean the pain
you what did he start drugs and drinking for that following Sunday before
so in at the same time I can't begin to imagine is pain
so it's easy work for me to sit back in judge trade
I you look I appreciate it he came out in this case is said
the reality and it's really hard for someone who's addicted to do that and
look he's been clean for six days
at the moment he said that is your last
you don't know rate because it's a constant constant battle
and so I don't know man it the stories like this though
I mean they make me glad I'm not to fame is too rich
yep to anything so I want to talk about a little bit because
the most difficult thing for people that are very very successful and wealthy
is that at some point they will get demoted unless you are a superstar like
Oprah media Oprah like she's not
everyone knows who she is but she's not like you know the
primary example of success in whatever and maybe she is troubled by a thirty
thousand dollar handbag and right time
right busy what I'm saying I just our own cable station and it didn't
so far it hasn't gone the ratings are network which is actually not that
surprising
at all but people are all over for because when you're on top people ok
drag you down
they do exactly so I can imagine how difficult that is
to deal with being demoted to be kinda like a laughingstock because people do
laugh at tyson a lot you know the idea make fun of him
you know that there is that whole holyfield incident worry but the guys
hear of it was unfortunate
with definitely unfortunate and and so
I totally agree with you jangling I I would never want to be
that famous I mean I want to be successful I don't want to be so famous
where
at some point I'm not going to be as famous and I'm gonna have to deal with
that
demotion very publicly and you're going to be like who's that
why she relevant yeah that guy I don't I don't know that I'm is
a you know focus on the this whole concept love like not be on top anymore
but I I feel like they have a million different pressures and they're
constantly under the microscope
and mike tyson waterways is you know if you don't know this whole story
I saw a documentary on 'em tyson way he worked super hard he studied
every major fight when he was younger right
to understand every move he worked as ass off to get to where he was
so there's a lot that I respect about him on the other hand will sometimes
when you see interviews I don't know views like
crazy hire some good but he doesn't make a lot of sense
also like drama right and it's hard for a guy
who sometimes doesn't make much sense to deal with
I Tahoe no pressure on you and when you don't handle it right
and then you get another tunnel pressure I miss something like you know that
your daughter's that dodo his daughter dying a situation explain and that
happens on top
so there's a lot of sympathy I have for mike tyson
and you know I look you I remember he was on top of the world man
it but overall whether it's either one or more points I wonder if I'd be on the
top of the world this is a great thing
well what is it about society that makes people want to build celebrities up as
much as they possibly can and then tear them down
you see what I'm saying like I do make your monthly onesie has your monkeys
because looked a discrete X from that I'm you know obsessed with
they ask my keys to likely put
your alpha males or or non alpha males on a TV screen
so other monkeys and the monkeys bananas
and if they see an alpha male the give him the banana they ought they offer the
TV a banana
okay if it's not half a mil to spur software I mean the bed
okay so there's something in us as
as close to chimpanzees as we are I
that that set us we want to outlaw celebrity all my goal here by Ben take
my banana
right I but at the same time we're a little
Joe's rate and sore like to hear what others to give us their banana yes of
course
and so ever given a bit then to get all this time like
David great if he fell off that tree yes
yes their egos me to go scoop up some minutes
some easing okay
