Mike Tyson once had to declare bankruptcy back in 2003, because of his hedonistic nature. Tyson even revealed that he used to be quite reckless with the money he earned, using it to buy cars for random people, get gold chains, and spend most of his earnings on luxurious stuff. He had a massive debt of millions that was to be paid, so he took on two fights after that. One in 2004 against Danny Williams and then in 2005 against Kevin McBride, which became the last fight of his career as well.

Tyson started to get back up on his feet again by making appearances in big movies and on American television. Then in 2016, he started a cannabis production company and is now enjoying his life with a sufficient amount of wealth.

Recently, he talked with Kamaru Usman on his podcast and revealed how he cannot believe that he’s going to make a fortune with his latest product. Tyson, who has always been a fighter for the most part of his life couldn’t fathom the reality that he will be generating more wealth for himself through a new revenue stream.

Mike Tyson said, “This is a special package and you’re gonna like this because we’re in a new line of business. Open up, please open it up.” Usman opened the bag and as he was going through the stuff, he expressed his love for the shirt. Recently, Tyson also gifted his new product to Wiz Khalifa and made him the first person to receive it.

At that very instant, Tyson said, “Oh yeah, Dan Loomis, they’re selling off the rack. I can’t believe I’m gonna be a wealthy guy off a f*king shirt. A f*king shirt!” as he couldn’t think that his business venture could boom with the help of a shirt.
