Mike Tyson keeps going and going and going......

Some people don't know when to quit and bow out gracefully.

Exhibit A: Mike Tyson

After reading this new report, I'm wondering if "the greatest train wreck in boxing history" will ever run out "lives" or publicity stunts.If you're too lazy to click on the link...I'll recap the highlights.
  • The 40-year-old former heavyweight champ promised an entertaining show Friday, Oct. 20 when he launches the "Mike Tyson's World Tour" in Youngstown, Ohio.

  • Tyson hinted that future stops on the tour might include bouts with women.

  • Tyson said the tour was meant to be fun and raise money for charity.

  • He will return to the ring Friday, Oct. 20 at the 6,000-seat Chevrolet Centre in Youngstown for a pay-per-view event against former sparring partner Corey "T-Rex" Sanders.


Can you believe any of this?

Would you pay for a pay-per-view fight for Tyson even if this really is for "charity"?

Tyson is also endorsing Republican Michael S. Steele's campaign for the U.S. Senate in Maryland. Even if you considered Tyson a true friend, would you really want him publicly endorsing you for such a high profile office?

I would answer NO to all three questions.

Steele is Tyson's ex brother in law. Tyson was married to Steele's sister whose a physician.

It's sad to see this dude continue to make a spectacle of himself. If anybody has a heart, they'll pull Mike aside and tell him the real deal.

Will this little SOB ever shut the fuck up? And WHY are people still listening to his little manic depressive ass? Unstable motherfucker.

I've been tuning this fool out since he said he was about to eat somebody's children a few years ago.

@ladynay...what tyson needed was a better financial planner.

@Pops...Russell Simmons is a better endorser than Tyson

@anonymous...thanks for the information.

@chris....I'm still waiting for that to happen

@the mistress...my sentiments exactly.

@jameil1922...I don't think Steele is going to win if that is his strategy...especially if he has Tyson backing him.
