    He was obviously annoying Tyson and Tyson just had enough. I've never understood why people are so obsessed with getting autographs or selfies from celebrities in public. I saw Linda Hamilton back in the 90s at a hotel restaurant in Richmond Virginia and I just left her alone, Sarah Connor, I figured she just wanted to eat her meal in peace like everyone else.

    I'm not saying it was right for Tyson to punch him, but that guy needs to understand that Tyson is crazy and has a short fuse.

    Is it possible, DD, that your Terminator/Linda Hamilton fandom is soooooo strong that, if you happen upon her again, you would not leave her alone but instead (in your best Ahnold voice) tell her "I told you I'd be back"? Just askin'.. 🤷

    If I saw her again, I would leave her alone. Now, Tom Selleck is a different story, I would follow him anywhere he goes, and possibly even harass him!

    that guy was a loser he deserved to get hit repeatedly . stupid jersey shore wannabee . Plus the guy was a former heavyweight champ if he wanted to kill you with one punch he could have . he probably just bitch slapped him

    Well don’t be drunk and start harassing someone, that person might not be trying to deal with your nonsense.

    Looking at the end of the video doesnt that guy look like the sort of person that needs to be beaten to death?

    Look at me everyone im going to poke at mike tyson until he kills me.
    How does a child like him even reach adulthood ? Please tell me he hasnt fathered any children

  • bronco2078bronco2078 Posts: 10,225 ✭✭✭✭✭

    We now know what the guy from bill and ted who isnt famous is up to .

  • MCMLVToppsMCMLVTopps Posts: 4,839 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I see a lawsuit coming here, and Tyson will be found liable. He should have contacted the flight attendant, and any repeats might then call for the captain, who has the authority to land the plane and get the drunk clown tossed, then the drunk is liable. With video evidence, clearly its battery, gonna cost Mikee some $$$.

  • bronco2078bronco2078 Posts: 10,225 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Nope jury nullification mike will win

  • MCMLVToppsMCMLVTopps Posts: 4,839 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Gonna be hard to overlook that video. We'll see.

    That guy looked like someone who would get roofied in Vegas then try stealing some celebrity's tiger.

    Surprise Surprise

    Sources close to Tyson said that the victim — later identified as 36-year-old Melvin George Townsend of Punta Gorda, Florida — was "extremely intoxicated" and "wouldn't stop provoking the boxer in his seat" before the apparent assault.

    The Daily Mail has reported that Townsend has served 15- and 20-month sentences over the years for crimes including drug possession, burglary, grand theft, fraud, and more.

    Townsend's attorney, Matt Morgan, told TMZ that Tyson never should have put his hands on what he described as an "overly excited fan," and instead ought to have "exercised greater restraint."

    It is unknown at the time of this reporting whether Townsend plans to sue the former heavyweight champion.

    "[Townsend has] not made a determination on what his next steps will be," a source close to Townsend told TMZ. "He hired counsel due to his physical injuries, the overwhelming nature of this event, and the associated media inquiries."

    I think Mike Tyson is claiming that the guy actually threw a water bottle at him first.

  • thisistheshowthisistheshow Posts: 9,386 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Maybe the guy was looking for a pay day 🤷

    Tyson Comeback?

    Mike Tyson’s interested in boxing Jake Paul
    Paul is 5-0 with four knockouts throughout his pro boxing career.

    When asked by podcast host and combat sport fanatic Joe Rogan if he’d be willing to challenge the PPV record alongside Paul, Tyson responded: "Hell yeah, only to break the record."

    "Let’s do it Jakey, God, wouldn’t that be cool?," Tyson rhetorically asked via his podcast – Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson.

    Tyson last fought in November of 2020 during an exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr. Despite a lengthy absence from the ring, Tyson displayed his trademark speed and power and maintained his status as one of the sport’s most popular athletes of all-time. The exhibition bout totaled more than 1.5 million pay-per-view buys.

    "only to break the record".

    I admit that that I watched, and was even eager for, the Jones Jr. match. But I don't feel good about this one.
