I hope Mike can use this little venture to show his apparent new found patience, stability, and business nous he has shown the last 5 years.

What money? He wasted it all, he's probably doing this to make money.

Trust me Mike is not broke.
He has great accountants these days he is financially solvent and by leaving things with his accountants after the aftermath of that it's shut ten years ago he has a couple of million put away. He lives in a modest ( by American standards) house and he travels the world raises his kids. He's doing well

Small piece in the latest BN about this.

Its a link up between Tyson and Aquinity Sports (who were involved with Shannon Briggs and a few others recently). Apparently they've changed their name to Iron Mike Promotions (or something similar) and I guess Tyson is really the (publicity generating) 'public face'.

Tyson is an attraction a household name you put his name to anything it will turn heads & the field he became famous in I think the public will take him seriously.
Boxing politics may shut him out unless he is in with the illuminate??
