The fighter who once terrorized the heavyweight division and became its youngest champ in history at 20 frittered away millions on mansions, Bentleys, jewelry, and even Bengal tigers while buying extravagant gifts for his entourage. Today, much of that money is gone and Tyson is banned from boxing for biting Evander Holyfield's ears. It was the first of $140 million in purses Tyson earned during the next two years. A few months later, he earned the most money ever given to a boxer - $25 million - to fight a stiff named Peter McNeeley. In the next few weeks Tyson would get another $12 million for the rights to future fights and television. If anything, he was bigger than ever, and multimillion-dollar deals had already been struck for his return to the ring. The three years he served for rape hardly did anything to diminish his appeal. Most Indiana prisoners are given $75 in spending money to ease their transition back into society. In his pocket, the former heavyweight champ had two checks, each made out to him for $10 million. LAS VEGAS - Mike Tyson had been out of the Indiana Youth Center only a few hours and already he was a rich man.
