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.

More quotes by Mike Tyson
Boxing brought me money and fame, but it never brought me no happiness.
Mike Tyson
If they don't have that extreme addict personality, you can never understand how a guy can blow 300 or 400 million dollars. If I have to live at the top of the world, I also have to live at the bottom of the ocean. I don't know how to live in the middle of life.
Mike Tyson
It's just what I'm born to do, I'm born to entertain people. I could do it for thirty-thousand people or three people, it's just what I know how to do. My soul objective only is for me to have the audience say 'when's the next time I can see him?' That's what I do.
Mike Tyson
I want to throw down your kid and stomp on his testicles, and then you will know what it is like to experience waking up everyday as me. And only then will you feel my pain.
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
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
Unfortunately, sometimes you can't have fun accomplishing your goals. Sometimes people don't have the determination, the will, the steadfastness, the tenacity, they give in under the slightest struggle.
Mike Tyson
My power is discombobulatingly devastating.
Mike Tyson
People are going to say what they say. I know sometimes I say things I offend people.
Mike Tyson
How dare these boxers challenge me with their primitive skills? It makes me angry.
Mike Tyson
I'm not used to sensitivity any more. When I see people cry when I lose, save your tears. I don't know how to handle people crying any more. I lost my sensitivity like that. Please, you embarrass me when you cry because I don't know what to do when you cry. I don't know what to say.
Mike Tyson
One day some guy is going to get a billion-dollar fight.
Mike Tyson
I never wanted to do anything else but fight, when I was a kid. I never had any broader perspective of my own perspective. I didn't know anything about anything else. I just wanted to fight until I could fight no more, and then I wanted to own a bar and drink and tell war stories.
Mike Tyson
I could never stop drugs, I could never stop drinking, until I received my spiritual awakening.
Mike Tyson
No one who isn't an extremist can understand the mind of an extremist.
Mike Tyson
My career has been over since 1990.
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 just a sucker even talking to you guys. I should be ready to rip your heads off your necks. But it's just not the right thing to do
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
In order to succeed greatly, you have to be prepared to fail greatly. If you can't do both of them, you've got a problem.
Mike Tyson
