With a 6.75-liter turbocharged V8 engine producing 650 lb-ft of torque, the Bentley Continental T packed quite a punch. A Mike Tyson-size punch. Which is no mere coincidence, because the Champ himself once owned this particular example.

This Continental T was one of only 322 made, and came equipped with two-tone red and black Connolly leather interior, a polished aluminum dashboard with a red starter button and a McIntosh sound system. Tyson bought it from Rolls-Royce of New York in 1997, and since then it has accumulated 40,000 kilometers and has undergone an overhaul at the hands of England's Phantom Motor Cars. It's now up for sale in Cologne, Germany. The price? $170,000, which is a fair bit less than the even rarer Continental SC which Tyson put on the market a couple of years ago.

Be kind. Karmic justice, as you can see, is a bitch.

Ewwww, who would want that car after Mike sat in it? You will get crabs and no telling what other STD's.

Tyson & Holyfield are broke & Froeman is worth over 250 million.

bob parks Aug 12th 2010 10:40AM

Froeman? Who dat?

Luke Easter Aug 12th 2010 11:32AM

Surely you jest? George Foreman, heavyweight champ 70's then 90's beating Frazier & Moorer respectively. George Foreman Grill? He's made more from endorsements than boxing. Probably 50x as much. Anyway, Tyson & Holyfiled aligned themselves with Don King. Same with Larry Holmes. What's up with his wallet? Huie, Duey & Looie are broke but Uncle Donald is rich. Kind of like Barry Gordy of Motown Records. Many from his label died broke while he sits on over 100 million. What's wrong with these pictures?

Mark Brunnell is broke too; made over 55 million over 10 years and invested in real estate. The dude recently filed for Bankruptcy. I do not feel sorry of any of those former rich dudes.

The car is being sold in Cologne, Germany. Mike Tyson "once" owned the car but not now. I'm sure he had to sell it a long time ago when he ran through his millions and is now broke. How could anyone be such a good fighter and not have the sense to hire a competent business manager? He seems to have turned his life around since losing his money. Maybe it was for the best in the end.

He did!!! Tyson hired Don King,a guy who had a long reputation for swindling his clients.These poor fools go from living in a room the size of a closet to living in a mansion and spending money like giving away paper.You would think someone who was so disciplined about their body would do the same with their money but they dont.

Alice Aug 12th 2010 2:39PM

Yes, he has to pay his lawyers after making those innocent dogs fight until they were dead. No- wait a minute, that was Michael Vick. Sorry but they look alike.

Shirl Hamilton Aug 14th 2010 8:38PM

Alice, Are you one those white people whoe think all black people look alike or are you just that stupid?

Maria Aug 12th 2010 6:59PM

Did he ever learned how to drive?

WminPhoenix Aug 12th 2010 4:40PM

Between Don King and Robin Givens, and her Mom, they cleaned Mike Tyson out of house and home. Mike has limited intelligence and those three jackals just did him in.
Any boxer associated with the murderer Don King has been ripped off - Black on black crime!

Bad karma will follow robin,her mother and don king.Mike was used and abused in the name of love.

zrskm Aug 12th 2010 10:10PM

George Foreman learn pretty quick dealing with Don King in the 70's. Tyson was only looking for a father figure in Don King after the death of his beloved Custodian in the name of Cus D'Amato but Don King see Tyson as a money cow...sad but it is true!

Suzzie Aug 13th 2010 12:01AM

Robin Tyson was a money hungry wife. Tyson was not to smart to see what was going on all his life. Now he's about down to zero in his bank account.

kabatson Aug 13th 2010 8:38AM

Black men can't do 2 many things at 1 time anyway, Mike couldn't box/watch Robin & her mother/& Don King at the same time. That's what happens when you don't have people around u 2 watch the people around u. He was using & abusing other people just like they were doing him. Ironic how Foreman was not the "golden child" but he came out on top.
