GL: Boxing made you one of the most famous people in the world. You can't walk down a block without shutting it down. How do you plan on parlaying that fame into a solid foundation for the life after boxing?
Mike Tyson: "I'm definitely not fighting anymore. I've talked to some people, I just talked to a gentleman named Jimmy, whose involved with club Jenna, you know Jenna Jameson. They said they were interested in getting me involved in that kind of business as well."
GL: Seriously?
Mike Tyson: "Yeah, the adult film industry. What do you think about that Minister?
GL: I think it sounds like fun, but I think you do bigger and better things than that. I think a Mike Tyson reality TV show would be off the hook as long as you're not playing it up for the cameras.
Mike Tyson: "It probably would, but I'm not really interested in that right now. I've been allured to this reality show. It doesn't pay enough money, it's under the pretense that it has to do well and I need what I need up front. If $100,000 is the most they could pay somebody up front for that, that's not it for me. I need different business than that."
GL: Many people, including myself, believe that you would do a tremendous job of commentating on HBO, Showtime, ESPN, radio, etc. However, you've made it clear that you have no desire for boxing so does that make it difficult for you to get involved with something like that? Do you have the desire to commentate?
Mike Tyson: "I'm just re-evaluating my life and being on that roller coaster slash twister I've been on. My options are pretty minimal but I will examine them. Time is a helluva thing Greg. It doesn't wait for anyone and when it's finished doing a number on you, you're all alone. I never thought that I would be all alone like I am now and it's a truly interesting situation to be in right now."
