Mike Tyson has given a surprisingly lucid interview to Donny Desutsch which will air tonight on CNBC at 10pm - here are the highlights:
On Boxing
- “Actually, I feel that my career was a waste, I never really contributed to life. It didn’t matter so I feel that it was a waste.”
- “I made many mistakes in my life and I’m just constantly working on improving myself as a human being. I’m not breaking my back to impress anybody. It’s all about process, trying to love myself as a human being. I’m ready, I’m going to calm myself without boxing.”
- “It’s just looking at my input in life. I no longer fight. I think retiring from boxing is the best thing I ever did in my life. I’m to extreme, too emotionally extreme.”
On comments that he wanted to fight women on his next world tour
- “I thought it would be funny. I was just… Everyone knows I’m joking. You know, if any woman fighter took me seriously, I would think that she would think it was funny. I hope nobody took offense to it. That was just me being facetious and tripping.”
- “Sometimes I’m a quack you know? I start trouble, I’m a drama king.”
On Fatherhood
- “Well, I tell them that Daddy had some bad times, and life goes and you realize that.”
On his biggest regret
- “I wish I wasn’t… I wish I didn’t sleep with a lot of women. I wish I wasn’t that promiscuous. I had children with a lot of people I had no business having children with.”
- “I can’t believe I was that person, that’s what’s funny, I just can’t believe I was that person.”
On his rape charges
- “Well I only apologize for anything I did, that’s all I’ll apologize for. If I hit somebody, I’m sorry. If I harmed somebody I’m sorry. What do they think I should to, should I go to a monastery? What else can I do?… But I didn’t do that.”

Looks like our man can finally afford a mansion like the one staged for the show - Flavor of Love 2 season’s finale was the highest rated cable show of 2006! Yeaaaaaaaaaaah Boyeeeeeeeeeeeee! - Read the Story:
The season finale of Flavor Flav’s VH1 reality series Flavor of Love 2 drew over 7.5 million viewers, making it the year’s highest watched non-sports telecast on basic cable, according to VH1.
The show featured Public Enemy’s Flavor Flav on a quest to find love. During the competition, the rapper made a connection with contestant London “Deelishis” Charles, whom he picked as his potential love interest.
According to stats released by VH1, 1 out of every 3 African-American’s watching television on Sunday tuned into the season finale, which has been the No. 1 program during its time slot since debuting in August.
Episodes of Flavor of Love 2 and other VH1 series launched today (Oct. 17) on iTunes for $1.99 each.
The series was executive-produced by Mark Cronin and Cris Abrego and was the 10th show the pair have produced for VH1.
Cronin and Abrego will return to VH1 in 2007 with 10 episodes of a new spin-off series that was originally titled The Flavorette.
The currently untitled show will find former Flavor of Love contestant Tiffany “New York” Patterson searching for love and will likely air during the Flavor of Love timeslot of 10 p.m. ET on Sundays.

We have been getting quite a few emails asking the identity of Deelishis’ wealthy baby daddy is - we have investigated and uncovered the answer:
Deelishis’ (aka London Charles - aka Chandra Davis) baby’s daddy is Jim Colmer who is the grandson of NBA great turned Detriot businessman, Dave Bing. Dave Bing played 12 seasons with the Detriot Pistons and retired a Hall of Famer in 1977.
He went on to open Bing Steel, a manufacturing plant in Detroit. Dave Bing is estimated to be worth well over $100,000,000 - his grandson, Jim Colmer manages a few of his grandfather’s other business interests.
