Mike Tyson reportedly had fans spend $100 in-store to gain a raffle ticket for his meet and greet at the grand opening of his cannabis coffee shop in Amsterdam.
The boxing legend met with fans as he opened the doors to his Mike Tyson Coffee Shop 2.0 in the Dutch capital this week.
However, they had to fork out a lot of money in the store to gain a raffle entry to try and get to meet their idol.
Speaking to the press at the store in Spuistraat, he said: “This is what I’ve always wanted. I’ve been here on many occasions as a teenager, and I’ve always wanted to be part of the cannabis business.”
It was previously reported that cannabis products he has sold since 2016 through his Tyson Holistic label are making him an estimated $619,000 a month.
The 57-year-old world heavyweight champ previously claimed he stays in shape by taking magic mushrooms every day and smoking cannabis.
Tyson, infamous for his ear-bite fight in 1997 against Evander Holyfield, is CEO of Tyson 2.0, the cannabis brand that has produced the best-selling edible ‘Mike Bites’ – shaped exactly like Holyfield’s ear.
Tyson’s business also offers premium marijuana strains and extracts, and he is building a 418-acre marijuana-themed holiday resort he hopes will be home to a music festival to rival Coachella.
Along with a luxury hotel and the lure of glamping tents, there will be a Tyson University on-site that will aim to teach cannabis cultivation tips to wannabe farmers.
He has admitted smoking up to $50,000 a month of his own supply.
Tyson suffers from sciatica and uses the drug for medicinal purposes.
