These pigeons have been living with each other for 10 or 15 years, but when I throw feed down, they kill each other to get it, and it's the same with the fighters. We love and respect each other...but we need that money.

I may have smoked too much weed, but I wasn't taking drugs or anything.
Mike Tyson
Nothing is more humbling than getting your ass kicked.
Mike Tyson
I can quit boxing now and practically go into any kind of business and I'll be successful just as well as I was in boxing.
Mike Tyson

Becoming a vegan gave me another opportunity to live a healthy life. I was so congested from all the drugs and bad cocaine, I could hardly breathe, [I had] high blood pressure, [was] almost dying [and had] arthritis. And once I became a vegan all that stuff diminished.
Mike Tyson
Fighting is spiritual. It appears to be physical from the layman's eyes. In my fights, I seemed to be angry and mad - all that stuff you saw me doing, the yelling and screaming and being mean in the ring - but I'm cool as a cucumber. I can hear everybody talking around me outside of the ring. I can see everybody. I know what is going on.
Mike Tyson
Fighting is all about calmness and relaxation. My appearance was all an illusion. My appearance is of a mad man, but I'm really calm and collected. Even though I'm fighting, I'm calm and relaxed as possible, despite my displays, because once you get excited, you can't fight at the highest level of your ability.
Mike Tyson
Man is not meant to be humble, he’s meant to be humbled.
Mike Tyson
I am the most ruthless, brutal champion ever. There is no one who can match me. I want your heart. I want to eat your children.
Mike Tyson
Even though I heard him say he doesn't believe, cuz' that's why from watching Ali gave me the great deal of confidence and deep-down inner belief to believe there's no man fighting that could beat me.
Mike Tyson
To some people the ego is evil. It gives you so much. It gives you everything you want. But it takes back too much in return. It gives you everything: money, riches, women, glamour, everything you want. But in return it takes back so much, and you're soulless. That's its goal. The ego's goal is to leave you soulless.
Mike Tyson
I'm a bad guy. But if I was a good guy, nobody would want to pay to see me fight.
Mike Tyson
I'm on the Zoloft to keep from killing y'all.
Mike Tyson
Don't be surprised if I behave like a savage. I am a savage
Mike Tyson
In the scheme of life, in emotion and loss, I responded the way I did. I lost. I shouldn't have responded that way. I've had some people tell me that I did a great thing - sticking up for myself - but to me, personally, with the way that I handled my emotions, I lost. But I learned. That will not happen again.
Mike Tyson
The drug dealers, they sympathize with me. They see me as some sort of pathetic character.
Mike Tyson
The mind is a real dangerous neighborhood to travel by ourselves.
Mike Tyson
Every punch was thrown with bad intentions.
Mike Tyson
I can inspire people on how to use money, how to get economically powerful.
Mike Tyson
People say 'Poor guy.' That insults me. I despise sympathy. So I screwed up. I made some mistakes. 'Poor guy,' like I'm some victim. There's nothing poor about me.
Mike Tyson
