Former undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson said he made more than three million dollars from pictures of him biting Evander Holyfield on the ear.

I didn't mean to bite him, but it wasn't a bad decision from a business standpoint. I think back to how much money I made from pictures of me supposedly biting people. I made over $3 million dollars on it. So I can never blame myself for that act.
