Mike Tyson has become a super entrepreneur in the years after his retirement from professional boxing. Tyson was a legendary fighter and earned upwards of $400 million during his career. But in 2003, he filed for bankruptcy, caused by his lavish lifestyle and exorbitant purchases. The boxing legend has since turned his life around with smart investments and by being slightly more careful.

One of his biggest investments is in the cannabis industry. It is a continuously growing market that is projected to earn $18.3 billion in North America in 2023 alone. Most recently, a former 2-time World Series Champion and Alex Rodriguez’s sworn rival also announced his entry into this growing market.

Most recently, 2-time World Series and MLB legend Jose Canseco has entered the industry and launched his brand, Jose Canseco’s 33. 

Canseco shared a Tweet, with a screenshot of details for the launch party of his brand. The former baseball legend looks ready to compete with Tyson in this industry.

Getting back to the cannabis industry, Tyson reportedly earns around $900,000 per month from Tyson 2.0 alone. It is a venture that is truly paying dividends for the boxing legend. It helps that Tyson is truly interested in the industry and has been a fan of cannabis for years. But Canseco may be out to fight for some of his customers.
