Being "overly excited" around Mike Tyson like this, gets you beat down, son. The man Mike Tyson repeatedly punched on a JetBlue plane has lawyered up, and the attorney's first thoughts are suggesting a lawsuit might not be far away...

quote:
Attorney Matt Morgan from Morgan & Morgan, who reps Melvin Townsend III, tells TMZ, "Our client is a big Mike Tyson fan. When Mike Tyson boarded the plane, he became overly excited. At first, their interaction was cordial."

He goes on ... "At a certain point, Mr. Tyson clearly became agitated by an overly excited fan and began to strike him in an excessive manner. This situation could have been avoided simply by contacting the flight attendant. Our client denies throwing a water bottle prior to being struck by Mr. Tyson."

As we reported, Tyson's team told TMZ Townsend had thrown a water bottle at Tyson, before Mike unleashed on him.

He should've taken Dana White's advice.

Sometimes a man has to handle his business. He had it coming. Good for you Mike!

Instead of being a dick and hiring a lawyer, use his newfound fame to challenge Mike to a fight in the ring. Round 2. Donate all proceeds to Mothers against drunk driving

Watch the video. The punk did everything he could to get the reaction he got. He needed more than the little arse beating he got.

Kid was annoying as shite but unfortunately Mike was in the wrong here.

File this one under the category of "Yeah, no shite". I doubt there is a single person who watched the video who didn't think "That kid is going to sue". Hell, I wonder if the kid might not have done it just to sue.
