And Mike Tyson said, “I’ll tell you we have time, so I’ll tell you how this happened.”

So ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ described how a few individuals, who might have invested in a product and were looking to showcase it, appeared at Magic Johnson’s Summer Fest event at the Palladium on Sunset. Mike is uncertain if the individuals merely invested in a product or advertised it through a commercial. But the lot was upset over not receiving any appreciation. He continued, “…the little one of the Pac’s friends came up, and he was a little guy you can see the way he was dressed they weren’t gonna let him in. I said, let this little guy in; you know how it was when we were kids and stuff…mean, these guys were crying about some stuff, they were crying about the uh Magic and do something with the parts of his team….”
