Hulu has a new Mike Tyson show just called Mike, and it's about his life, from the rise and fall I am assuming. I have yet to check it out, but from what I have seen it's getting mixed reviews.
I also hear that Mike Tyson had no part in the show and called Hulu out due to it, saying that they stole his life story and never paid him. I don't know if they have to pay a celebrity if they make a movie on them, as long as enough of it is in the public domain, and is public knowledge, I believe they can make a movie on them. I think a lot of studios get away with stuff like that, because look at the Steve Jobs movie, I guess his daughter didn't want them making a movie on him, but they did so anyway.
I don't think I'm going to watch it.
