Thats a very good question. I hope this will be of help to you.
When Tyson was working his way up the rankings, he was focused and determined, and was driven by fear. His trainer and legal guardian Cus D'Amato (who wouldn't have tolerated the hangers on or Tyson letting women get in the way of training) basically told Tyson to pull his weight and concentrate on boxing, or he would leave Tyson, figuring Tyson would just self destruct without him, and end up back where he started - in the Ghetto.
After Tyson won a portion of the ttile (Cus died before he did) and began to unify the Heavyweight division, Tyson was the biggest draw in boxing, and was being paid massive amounts of money, as I'm sure many of you are aware. With the money and celebrity status came the hangers on and the numerous women (Tyson actaully married actress Robin Givens only two weeks after meeting her, at a celebrity party after beating Larry Holmes). Cus D'Amato once gave a young Mike Tyson a baseball bat to fend off all the women once he became Heavyweight champion of the world. He didn't realise how right he would be. Unfortunately, Cus had gone and was unable to protect him, and Tyson was surrounded by people who did not have his best interests at heart. In short, those people were only really around him for the money.

He became the youngest champion because he flunked out of the 1984 LA Olympics. Instead of waiting 4 more years, it was decided he'd be better off destroying the useless (at that time) Heavyweight division. Stick him up against a bunch of sissies to pad his record, then, he'd never need to fight Holmes OR Spinks unless he decided to, as they were not belt holders. Why did he score so much, they all do. In 1997 super Christian "Holy Warrior" Evander Holyfield had 4 kids... only ONE with his WIFE!!! It does not matter what occupation you have, or even if you have one. Win the lottery and women will be all over you no matter what. Most women are whores, and most men can not resist. That is the answer for you. A 20 year old kid with millions of dollars and a HUGE libito. Tyson did what we all would do in his situation.

Thats a good question. i wish this may well be of help to you. whilst Tyson become working his way up the scores, he become centred and desperate, and become pushed via worry. His coach and criminal parent Cus D'Amato (who would not have tolerated the hangers on or Tyson letting women persons get in the way of coaching) certainly informed Tyson to pull his weight and communicate approximately boxing, or he might leave Tyson, figuring Tyson might only self destruct without him, and finally end up returned the place he began - in the Ghetto. After Tyson gained an element of the ttile (Cus died in the past he did) and commenced to unify the Heavyweight branch, Tyson become the biggest entice boxing, and become being paid huge quantities of money, as i'm optimistic a lot of you're conscious. With the money and celebrity prestige got here the hangers on and the multiple women persons (Tyson actaully married actress Robin Givens purely 2 weeks after assembly her, at a celeb party after beating Larry Holmes). Cus D'Amato as quickly as gave a youthful Mike Tyson a baseball bat to fend off all the ladies persons as quickly as he became Heavyweight champion of the international. He did no longer comprehend how spectacular he may well be. regrettably, Cus had long gone and become no longer able to guard him, and Tyson become surrounded via people who did no longer have his ultimate pastimes at heart. quickly, those human beings have been purely relatively around him for the money.

When you have Cus looking out for you and Jimmy Jacobs behind the scenes, it's easy to see how 25 fighters would be willing to double their purse to tank the first half of "Iron Mike's: career. Hookers are a part of Vegas, Mike was young and had money. Had being past tense.

At the time he was really focused on his boxing and all the 'hangers on' that he acquired later in his life had not begun to distract him.
When you are that intense and have enough raw talent a little thing like sex will not get in the way of your goals.
He was one of the best things to happen in heavyweight boxing and unfortunatly also one of the worst.

because he was the most fearsome fighter not boxer ever .no one wanted to fight him.he was lethal and would have walked through a brick wall.it was only after the excesses of fame took hold that he could no longer cope personally or professionally and drifted into mediocrity
