Boxing legend Mike Tyson is now landing heavy blows in the business world. Tyson has teamed up with an unlikely partner, former Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Barak, in a venture that combines sports, politics, and medical marijuana. It’s an unprecedented alignment that could only exist in the dynamic world of Mike Tyson.
Tyson’s co-founded company, Tyson 2.0, already a major player in the cannabis industry, expects to rake in a staggering $160 million in the fiscal year 2023, up from $50 million in the previous year. It is no surprise that Tyson has invested so heavily in the business of marijuana. After all, he once admitted to smoking around $40,000 worth of Marijuana every month. The former Heavyweight champion once stated in a broadcast interview with Yahoo Finance that smoking marijuana puts him in a “better state of mind” and makes him “more relaxed“. Safe to say, when it comes to marijuana, Tyson likes to put his money where his mouth is.
With his new move, Tyson is looking to rapidly expand his cannabis business by adding a touch of credibility to it. Adding another layer to this ambitious venture, they have established Carma Holdings LLC, the new parent company aiming to revolutionize the intersection of celebrity and cannabis. Now, with the addition of Barak’s medical marijuana company, InterCure, to his portfolio, Tyson is poised to put his company at the cutting edge of researching, growing, and marketing medical cannabis.
