Mike Tyson quote - is this true?

[Petrucci]

28 Jun 2004 In an interview with This Is London, Tyson announces that since declaring bankruptcy he has been sleeping in homeless shelters and living off handouts. "I've got nowhere to live. I've been crashing with friends, literally sleeping in shelters. Unsavoury characters are giving me money and I'm taking it. I need it. The drug dealers, they sympathise with me. They see me as some sort of pathetic character... I know I was a tough, bad-ass talking fighter, but I ain't no mob figure. I did my time for the rape. I paid my money to Las Vegas. I paid my dues. I ain't the same person I was when I bit that guy's ear off."

its really life being that way for him?

[Scimowser]

his kids are wealthy enough as he put cash into a trust fund for them all, but he is literally flat on his arse. The guys finances are apalling, his "advisors" skinned him for every penny and left him high and dry when he ran out. He still has the marketing potential to clear his debt and make a few million profit but hes going to have to work for it and cut the dead wood from his life

For fuck sake hes Mike Tyson, theres ALWAYS money to be made with the man

That's what happens when you have an entourage of 90 and greedy thieving managers and advisors robbing you blind.

Also he spent way to much money, instead of using his money to make more of it.
