Mike Tyson: Water bottle incident behind airplane punch attack

[Nitt1300]

I've never been a Tyson fan, either as a fighter or as a person- but I think he was 100% within his rights here.

Mike Tyson punched a fellow first-class passenger aboard a Florida-bound flight because the “aggressive” man threw a water bottle at him, according to reps for the former heavyweight champ.

Tyson was captured on video pummeling the man on the Wednesday night JetBlue flight from San Francisco to Miami, where he later appeared at a weed conference after party.

Prior to the beat down, the apparent harasser is seen on the video posted by TMZ standing over Tyson’s seat, waving his arms and talking animatedly while the former boxer sits quietly.

I guess they don't put air marshalls on flights anymore.

[psuro]

Holy crap! Jet Blue has a first class cabin!?!

Oh yeah, the Mike Tyson thing. Dude got what he deserved.

Yeah they did, his name was Tyson, Michael

Why in the world would you throw something at Tyson or provoke him and you can’t run away. Talk about a stupid decision.

 

[marshall23]

Guy was likely drunk. I thought Tyson showed restraint until most guys would have lost patience. Also, he stopped pummeling the guy once he made his point.

21 Guns finally got his @ss whoopin'.

Guess the guy doesn’t know how to “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”

He’s 10000000% right. Big problem in todays world.

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

Tyson was pretending the guy was Marvis Frazier!

This guy now surpasses Will Smith, he now takes the lead for "Moron of the Year!"

I’ll just have to work harder. I won’t be denied.

I so wish it had been John Surma who tossed the bottle at Iron Mike!

Perhaps Tyson was the air marshall

 

[Woodpecker]

Tyson just accepted a scholarship to pitch at Weatherford

[ElwoodBlues]

If I'm making a list of people on the planet I would never f' with under any circumstances, Iron Mike is pretty near the top.

Jackass assumed the risk and deserved whatever happened.

He WAS drunk. They have witnesses who saw him in the airport bar, where he had already gotten loaded and was acting like it. He earned that *** beating from Tyson. ("You wanted the bull? Now you get the horns.")

I could think of 20+ a**hats from the moron board that I would wish had tossed that bottle at Tyson!

 

[PSUSignore]

Iron Mike was just testing out his old saying about everyone having a plan until they get punched in the face.

There is only 2 logical reasons, I can think of as to why this guy messed with Tyson.
1) He was loaded and his beer muscles got the best of him. (Most likely)
2) He was trying to entice Iron Mike to hit him so that he can sue him. Unfortunately, this is the society we live in today.

Both.
Of course, everyone in the country thinks this guy is the biggest idiot in the world. That would be correct, but Mike has to find a way to restrain himself.

Tyson should have beaten him more.

Not sure how much coin Mike has these days? He probably would have chartered if he had stacks of money like he used to. Probably a kid trying cash in on "content".

 

[marshall23]

So it appears the guy has an "extensive" criminal record. But, predictably, has hired a lawyer. Jokes on him......Tyson is broke.

 

[Nitt1300]

far too many people don't know what it's like to get punched in the face, which explains a lot about why we have so many Karens and Kens

 

[Thorndike2021]

I have personally, repeatedly punched dudes in the face, after being provoked.

There should be nothing to see here. You play silly games, you win silly prizes.

I’m not sure how broke Tyson is? Does he have the millions he used to, probably not? But, I don’t think he is anywhere close to broke.

This guy got most of Tyson's money

Exactly...Mike Tyson, Vontaze Burfict, Sherri Papini.
