Mike Tyson’s comeback story

After a decade of wild success from his fights, brand endorsements, and promotions, Mike Tyson filed for bankruptcy in 2003. His financial constraints forced him into fighting two more times through 2004 and 2005. While these fights did not generate huge paydays, they helped the youngest heavyweight champ settle debts and outstanding liabilities.

However, Mike Tyson turned his financial condition around in the next few years. He engaged in brand endorsements, deals, and promotions to help him through his constraints. Apart from these, he made a major chunk of his money from Hollywood.
