Mike Tyson to Work as Stud?
I just had a roller coaster of an interview with Heidi Fleiss. I called Fleiss to get an update on her plans for a stud farm (she says she should have the application submitted in the next 10 days) in rural Nevada. Our conversation ranged from exotic birds to her thoughts on the case against brothel owner Joe Richards. I will have the full transcript for tomorrow's Buffet. But for now here is a taste of what it is like interviewing Heidi Fleiss as well as her plans for stud number one: Mike Tyson
Q: So, is Mike Tyson going to come work at your brothel?
A: Yeah, he called me. How'd that get in the news?
Q: You talked about it in another interview.
A: Oh, I said it? Well, he was in the Hamptons with a friend of mine and he called me.
Q: How long ago was this?
A: It was in June. I said to him, 'You going to be my stud?' And he said, 'Heidi I don't care what any man says. It's every man's dream to please every woman no matter how old, how young, how fat, how pretty, how ugly, it's every man's dream to please every woman and especially get paid for it.' And, he goes, 'Hell yeah, I'll be your number one stud.'
Q: Do you think he was joking?
A: Half and half. Don't ever underestimate Mike Tyson. He is a genius and he can be very stupid like most people.
Q: Well, do you think he will do it?
A: I definitely think he would.

Yes, Mike Tyson ... every female's fantasy. What woman would be capable of resisting the charms of a psychotic, bankrupt, convicted rapist with a vocabulary that makes a 3-year-old sound like George Will?

that's great!

He's not a role model, this we know. But he'll be a smashing success as a 'stud' because women prefer bad guys over good ones. Everyone knows this! Its one of the biggest (and most bizarre) mysteries of our lives, but its true. So cut Mike some slack...he's just giving the ladies what they want-a no-good man.

Greg C. makes a good point. The convicted rape thing might cause him problems becoming a licensed brothel worker in Nye. And, even if he does get approved, imagine the civil liability that comes with hiring a convicted rapist, say, if Tyson and a customer disagree on what she wants in the arrangement. As with most things Fleiss, it is just close enough to possible to get attention, but not really possible. Yrs., Richard

Who is Mike Tyson? Does he like to play cello? I can teach anyone to play the cello!

Women are well suited for prostitution by the nature of their anatomy. Men are not. For example, no matter what kind of beast walks through the door of a female prostitute, as long as he is aroused sex will happen. But imagine yourself a male prostitute and a gross bag of protein walks in and wants sex...could be a problem. If Mike Tyson can handle that, well, I don't know whether to admire him or abhor him.

I can see it now, a Mike Tyson reality show; folks it's in future plans, you have to know it is.

i'll think i'll enjoy working with Mike. heehee.

Maybe he could be the fantasy rapist in the "theme" rooms...
I met Mike several years ago, and he seemed fairly nice, but this was when Gus was still alive and had him under control. Anyway, having said that, I feel he's just now grasping at straws. Sad,? yes. Anything else, well, I guess we follow the tracks.
Kinda sad to see what could have been an American Icon (screw the TV show) and stood up proud for us.
Sheesh!

Mike Tyson is disgusting. Really disgusting. What kind of clientele would want Mike Tyson? He's the meaning of the term revolting. This is really all he needs, too-- to believe that all women want to pay to have sex with him. YUCK!

So, would he do guys as well if they paid enough?

wow, that will be fun working with him. ha ha ha.

I'd hire Mr. Tyson for an hour. I'd just want to cuddle, watch chick flicks, give each other back rubs, light some candles, burn some incense, read poerty to each other. You know, get to know each other as a person. I thought Don King was his Pimp.

He can stud and give' em a punch
Posted by: Robin G | October 17, 2006 at 10:42 AM
I'd hit it.

Aren't we forgetting about several incurable venereal diseases that Mr. Tyson reportedly carries? Caveat emptor ladies!

What goes around comes around. Madame Fleiss has been raping people for a long time. If Mike accepts being a sex SLAVE (AKA, STUD), he will become both rapist and victim. I guess that's justice. Some people need protection from themselves, and Mike Tyson just continues to kick his own butt. I think it's all just a big loss of moral control, and the sad descent of the human race, one dumbass at a time.

I'M SURE SOME OF THESE WOMAN WOULD LIKE MIKE TO NIBBLE ON THEIR EAR. LOL

So how many 'clients" Will psycho Mike "do" a day. A female can do as many as she wants. A male, especially a nutcase male as Tyson, How many will he do? LOL
Posted by: Joe | October 17, 2006 at 11:14 AM
I don't know what the desire for him would be. Keep in mind: "Small voice equals small member".

Mike Tyson is revolting. Why doesn't he do something respectable like open a boxing gym, or promote other boxers like Don King.
Posted by: whiteboy | October 17, 2006 at 01:31 PM
Mike Tyson is every mans nightmare. What can a guy do if his girl goes with Mike Tyson? NOTHING! Mike Tyson marketing genius The top ten highest grossining pay previews include Mike Tyson in 7 of them. Don’t be jealous now…
His rape conviction is a complete failure of our justice system. He is the rock of Gibraltar to a women. If Mike Tyson is broke,. broke people are lucky!
Mike lives in style & excess. Hate Heidi all you want, brilliant to have Mike Tyson. Nothing but money.

dans Johnson,
what are you talking about wiht incurable....that would be HSV (Herpes) and HPV (Papilo) because those are the only really uncurable ones (Hep C maybe too, but I never heard that he has it), and HSV is carried by 70% of the population, and type 2 by 25% and HPV is also about 80% of sexually active people so what are you talking about?
