My Reaction to James Toback's Mike Tyson Documentary

Former Tyson Assistant Manager

I was shocked at the lies and fabrications Mike told in this movie. These included:
1. He said he was always an addict
2. He was always an alcoholic
3. He always had demons
4. Managers Jacobs and Cayton were "slave masters" and signed him when he was underage.
It is obvious that Mike's new manager, Harlan Werner, is just as devious as Robin Givens, Don King and Shelly Finkel.
The public has forgotten that, in 1987, Mike was hired to do network TV commercials for Pepsi Cola, Ninetndo Video and Kodak Film. Not enough - he was hired by the New York City Police Department, the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration to do PSA's.
The Police and FBI do not usually hire addicts or those who have demons. My entire correspondence with Werner, the film's producers, as well as documents and photos proving Mike's huge hero status with Cayton and Jacobs may be found at the following link:
