Mike Tyson, former boxing world champion, thought that he still had the charm the work the crowd. So much so that he decided to launch a new reality show about … pigeons! Take on Tyson, apparently was going to show fascinated viewers about the world of pigeon fighting (!). We don’t know what got into Big Mike’s head but maybe it is just as well that the New York District Attorney’s Office has questioned the legality of the show because it violates local gambling laws. According to the show’s producers, part of the world of pigeon fighting involves betting against your favorite bird… Since this is against NY’s local gambling laws, the show is already doomed before it screens. Which is maybe just as well…
So maybe we won’t see Tyson backing birds but we can still honor the guy with some one liners about his illustrious sports career – including the time he bit off part of his opponent’s ear.
