“Hey, I know nothing about money yet” – Mike Tyson to Jimmy Kimmel

Jimmy Kimmel quipped, “Some of the proceeds are going for the charity. You are guaranteed 10 million dollars.”

An amused Mike Tyson replied, “Hey, I know nothing about money yet. I don’t want no money. Take that money that belongs to them. This is not my life no more. I’m here to try to make things happen! Make this a better place man! I want to die with a good conscience man!”
