'Iron Mike' Limited Series a Go at Hulu as Tyson Blasts Streamer for "Tone-Deaf Cultural Misappropriation"Mike Tyson is not involved in any capacity with the drama from the team behind 'I, Tonya,' and has blasted the streamer for what he calls a "tone-deaf cultural misappropriation" of his life story.
"Hulu's announcement to do an unauthorized miniseries of my life, although unfortunate, isn't surprising," Tyson said in a statement to."This announcement on the heels of social disparities in our country is a prime example of how Hulu's corporate greed led to this tone-deaf cultural misappropriation of my life story. To make this announcement during Black History Month only confirms Hulu's concern for dollars over respect for Black story rights.
While Tyson is considered one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time, he was convicted of rape and served three of a six-year prison sentence. Tyson staged a boxing comeback after his release and lost in a 1997 rematch against Evander Holyfield in which he was famously disqualified for biting off a piece of one of his opponent's ears. He retired in 2006 but returned to the ring against Roy Jones Jr. last year.and teamed with Spike Lee to bring his one-man show to Broadway.

Really Hulu? This man changed the whole ass sport and you can’t talk to MikeTyson to get his permission to do this?In 1996 I wrote a letter to Mr. Tyson letting him know I was writing a report about him with a copy of the report for school. You can’t even have that courtesy?
Having listened to Mike Tyson speak for years, there is no way he actually put those words together
You punks didn't even tag the man but you'd love to make some $ off his name tho Give MikeTyson his credit and pay the man.
Yeah, bc people love content about convicted rapists, who beat their wives, and mutilated a man. 🙄
