00:00Mike Tyson was paid three million dollars to fight this guy. In 1996 Mike

00:04Tyson was at the height of his powers. He was a force to be reckoned with but

00:07then he got an offer to fight a guy named Peter McNeely. Now Peter was a

00:11nobody. He had no wins in his professional career but Tyson's people

00:15said that they wanted him to fight this guy and they offered him three million

00:18dollars and Tyson was like I'm not fighting that guy for three million

00:21dollars that's not enough money. Then his people said how about we make it six

00:24million dollars and Tyson was like deal. So the fight happens and Tyson knocks

00:29the guy out in the first round. But here's where things get weird. After the

00:32fight Tyson's people came up to him and they were like you didn't hit him hard

00:35enough. You didn't knock him out cold. So Tyson was like what do you mean? I knocked

00:40him out and they were like yeah but we bet six million dollars that you would

00:43not be able to knock him out in the first round so you owe us six million

00:45dollars. And Tyson was like well I thought I won the fight but they said you

00:49didn't knock him out cold enough so it doesn't count. You owe us the money. So

00:53Tyson ended up losing six million dollars because he didn't read the fine print.
