  • Mike Tyson, the former heavyweight champion and cannabis mogul (with ear-shaped gummies) tells Forbes how pot changed his life-and the secret weapon that will help him smoke Jake Paul in their fight.
    While Iron Mike was prone to being his own hype man as a fighter, he’s not far off with his claims about his budding cannabis company. Tyson 2.0 sells marijuana products-including flower, vapes and edibles made in the shape of Evander Holyfield’s ear, which Tyson notoriously bit during a 1997 match-in 20 states across the U.S., and in Amsterdam, Barcelona and Thailand. The company, through a partnership with PHCANN International in Macedonia, is in the process of launching in Germany’s newly legalized adult-use market as well as the U.K.’s highly restrictive medical marijuana industry.
    Tyson 2.0 works off a licensing model, cutting deals with franchisees who grow, manufacture, and sell his branded cannabis products. In 2023, the brand generated $150 million in revenue, Forbes estimates, with about 30% coming from cannabis sales and the rest from accessories, CBD, nicotine vaporizers and other products.
    Tyson 2.0’s flower is branded with names drawn from his legendary boxing career, including Dynamite Cookies (his first nickname was Kid Dynamite) and Knockout OG (Tyson won 44 of his 50 boxing career wins by KO). But the company’s flagship product Mike Bites-the edible in the shape of Holyfield’s half-bitten ear-was developed by Tyson’s wife, Kiki.

    The marijuana industry is really misunderstood, it's filled with a bunch of us hard working people that yeah we get stoned but we also do more in a day than some do in a week, the stereotypes of stoners being lazy and unmotivated couldn't be more wrong, great job bringing cannabis into the mainstream market.

      For a company with avg revenue of 5 Billion dollars, I'd say that 1% pulls some decent weight

      @judewarner1536 Před 27 dny

      @trollon-u2124 Yes! The top 1% pulls the same weight as the bottom 60%.

    It is unwise to promote criminal behavior. .. and attempt to make such behaviors a novelty. Biting a person's ear off is a CRIMINAL and reprehensible act.!! ... Holyfield should sue because it is HIS ear they are selling.!!

    I took 3 grams of Golden Teacher’s mushrooms and I quit drinking. Let me remind you, I was drinking 2TWO2 PINTS of liquor a day for at least 6-8 months maybe. I quit cold Turkey. These things are truly conscious connection to your higher self. Some sort of god. Believe me. I’m the kid of a civilization who’s alienated themselves.

      ​@@fighterforlife5284Agreed ! Strike when the irons hot ! Tyson is capitalizing on the market. By being a spokesperson for his self branded company. Seems like he has teamed up with a level headed Cannabis headhunter looking at the horizon of the industry . Being able to expand the product line into Cafe style blazing lounges with infused menu crosses markets from dispensary to Being baked at the bakery 😂 Some great ideas as the Feds finally de- schedule it .
