Product Description
Mike Tyson rose from a boyhood of dire poverty and crime to become the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history and one of the richest and most famous athletes on the planet. But no sooner had he reached the top of the professional ranks everything started to fall apart. Two marriages came and went, his championship slipped away, and his career descended into a carnival of crooked promoters, femmes fatales, assaults, prison and, after winning more than $300 million in his career, bankruptcy. Even at the age of 40, Mike Tyson continued to fight to pay his bills. His fall is famous, but the reasons are as complex and misunderstood as Mike himself. This fascinating documentary looks at the man whose spectacular rise and fall has fascinated the world like that of no other athlete of his time.

For those looking for "Rise and Fall of Celebrity" type of movie - quite nice piece of work. For those who wanted to see some documentary fights or training sessions of Iron Mike, this DVD is a complete waste of money. Former trainer, former promotor, box journalist talk, talk and talk for some 80% of the time. If one was to sum up boxing documentary it would end up in some 5 minutes.
Not for the boxing fans, rather for tabloid lovers

After the terrible events that have recently occured in Mike Tyson's life, I thought I would pick up this little DVD and learn a bit more about the man himself.
Of course, we all know the basics. But there is a deep and involved story to be told of Tyson's life - the phenomenal successes and catastrophic failures.
I think this programme does a fine job of providing a balanced and informed view of Tyson's life and I actually am very glad I watched it.
If anyone is at all interested in learning a bit more about Tyson than simply watching his career record, I recommend this biography.
