Jim Jacobs and Bill Cayton managed his career perfectly,. great match ups and hype
Mike just kept knocking them over, people couldnt wait for him to fight.

Thanks for posting. Mike seemed high as fuck.  Unique interview for sure. Usually people ask him about shit we've already seen and heard or read. This was like a biography. 

Funny hearing what he said about Cus D'Amato and training and diet.  "Cus didn't believe in diet. Eat what you want and the more you eat the harder you have to train." I remember reading in Boxing Illustrated way back in the 80's and the article said Tyson would walk home from the gym and eat a large pizza and a gallon of ice cream along the way.

Also interesting that he's an Ayn Rand reader. But he's actually quite well read in general.
