How exactly is one of Mike Tyson‘s most successful ventures, Tyson 2.0, doing these days? The former world champion left the boxing in 2005. The following years saw him settling with his family, besides developing an interest in entrepreneurship. The eponymous Tyson 2.0 remains the most well-known among the burgeoning businesses he cares for. Since its inception, the enterprise has witnessed steady growth.

Adam Wilks, the CEO of Carma HoldCo, which manages the cannabis businesses of Tyson, Ric Flair, and Hulk Hogan, shed some light on the query. Adam Wilks spoke on ES FanCast with our Host, Noah Lack. In an exclusive interview with ESFancast, Wilks shared the journey with three of the most recognized sporting icons. He also hinted at where the business stood in terms of the $160 million combined revenue projections.

EssentiallySports reporter Noha Lack sat with Adam Wilks yesterday to understand where it started, the business with three living legends, and the future. The ES reporter asked about a certain report from November last year. It projected that Carma HoldCo’s revenue, which was around $50 million in 2022, would increase to $160 million in 2023—a growth of more than three times! Lack asked, “Where are you if you can share in that regard? How are you doing there?

Adam Wilks said, “I can tell we are…are much beyond way beyond our projections, and again, sales are much greater than we ever anticipated. Any projections that’ve been laid out, we’ve blown them away.” Giving credit where it’s due, he thanked the team members and the partners for their invaluable contributions.
