Prince Jackson believes this performance set a new standard and remains one of the most-watched Super Bowl performances. That’s when Iron Mike chimed in with his astounding revelation.

Mike said, “I don’t go to no Super Bowl.” Tyson revealed that the only invitation he ever received was from Bob Kraft, the New England Patriots owner.
