Listen to the "Talk Of The Week" w/ Lady T here...
Tyson is featured prominently during this documentary. He was good friends with Tupac. Well at least as good as both would allow themselves.
"Every day, he would call me or get a chance to call me or send a message,"
said Tyson.
"He would get word to me in prison. Our problem was we always had to worry about someone betraying us, our closest friends."
The fighter and rapper were supposed to meet for a victory party at Club 662. Tupac's death still haunts Tyson.
"I felt extremely guilty because I felt if he didn't come to this fight, that would have never have happened," he said. "It's just so crazy that we had talked every day for a week."
"He always wanted me to smoke weed with him, and I never did it, and I wish I did,"
Tyson said.
You can re-live the events of that fateful night in Las Vegas when Tupac Shakur was gunned down after a Mike Tyson fight. ESPN’s 30 for 30 did a special show featuring the event.
Mike Tyson and Tupac Shakur might seem like unlikely friends, but the two did have a very close relationship that lasted for about four years and ended in tragedy after a Tyson fight in Vegas. Tonight’s ESPN’s 30 for 30 documentary One Night in Vegas covers that friendship and that controversial that followed the Tyson fight.
Tupac first met Mike Tyson in 1992 when Tyson was still in prison for rape. Tyson says that Tupac would call him nearly every day and when he couldn’t call he would send messages or send word to him. By the time Mike Tyson was released in 1995, Shakur had also served time behind bars himself for a sexual abuse charge. Upon Tyson’s release the friendship deepened. The two became fast friends who understood each other. The two misunderstood men found a kinship in the controversy that surrounded them. They were easy to trust one another because they didn’t need each other for fame, money or credibility. That friendship grew stronger every day then came to a violent, shocking end on September 7, 1996 in Las Vegas.
Mike Tyson was in Vegas to fight Bruce Seldon. Tupac brought some friends, including then Death Row Records owner Suge Knight, to Vegas to watch the fight. Tyson was to enter the ring to a rap song written by Tupac just for this occasion. The fight, like nearly everything touched by these two, was awash in controversy. Seldon went down in the first round to what seemed like a light, glancing blow. The crowd was incensed and began chanting
“Fix! Fix! Fix!”.
Tupac and his group left the fight and as they made their way through the lobby of the MGM Grand Hotel, Suge Knight spotted a guy who was a gang member they suspected of repeatedly robbing a Death Row label member. Tupac attacked with Knight and company right behind him. The entire fight was caught by surveillance cameras. Knight and Tupac then got into Knight’s car and made their way down the strip to a club where they intended to join Tyson for an after-fight party.
They would never make it. As they sat at a stoplight, a car pulled up along side them and opened fire. Knight was wounded, Tupac Shakur died six days later inthe hospital.
One Night in Vegas explores the friendship between these two men. Mike Tyson talks openly about his sadness and regrets about his relationship with Tupac as the story leads from their first meeting up to that tragic night. Shedding some light on a relationship many people didn’t even know existed, One Night in Vegas is a fascinating look at some of the people involved in one of the most infamous nights in Las Vegas history.

Witnesses and friends talk about the night at the Tyson fight that Tupac got shot.
Suge Knight also tells his side of the story and a random fan speaks about meeting Tupac that night and taking his final photo ever.
On the night of September 7, 1996, Shakur attended the Mike Tyson - Bruce Seldon boxing match at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. After leaving the match, one of Suge's associates spotted 21 year-old Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, a member of the Southside Crips, in the MGM Grand lobby and informed Shakur. Shakur then attacked Anderson. Shakur's entourage, as well as Suge and his followers assisted in assaulting Anderson. The fight was captured on the hotel's video surveillance. A few weeks earlier, Anderson and a group of Crips had robbed a member of Death Row's entourage in a Foot Locker store, precipitating Shakur's attack. After the brawl, Shakur went to rendezvous with Suge to go to Death Row-owned Club 662 (now known as restaurant/club Seven). He rode in Suge's 1996 black BMW 750iL sedan as part of a larger convoy including many in Shakur's entourage.
At 10:55 p.m., while paused at a red light, Shakur rolled down his window and a photographer took his photograph.[52] At around 11:0011:05 p.m., they were halted on Las Vegas Blvd. by Metro bicycle cops for playing the car stereo too loud and not having license plates. The plates were then found in the trunk of Suge's car; they were released without being fined a few minutes later.[52][53] At about 11:10 p.m., while stopped at a red light at Flamingo Road near the intersection of Koval Lane in front of the Maxim Hotel, a vehicle occupied by two women pulled up on their right side. Shakur, who was standing up through the sunroof, exchanged words with the two women, and invited them to go to Club 662.[52] At approximately 11:15 p.m., a white, four-door, late-model Cadillac with an unknown number of occupants pulled up to the sedan's right side, rolled down one of the windows, and rapidly fired twelve or thirteen shots at Shakur. He was struck by four rounds, with bullets hitting him in the chest, the pelvis, and his right hand and thigh.[10][52] One of the rounds apparently ricocheted into Shakur's right lung.[54] Suge was hit in the head by shrapnel, though it is thought that a bullet grazed him.[55] According to Suge, a bullet from the gunfire had been lodged in his skull, but medical reports later contradicted this statement.[56]
After arriving on the scene, police and paramedics took Suge and a fatally wounded Shakur to the University Medical Center. According to an interview with one of Shakur's closest friends the music video director Gobi, while at the hospital, he received news from a Death Row marketing employee that the shooters had called the record label and were sending death threats aimed at Shakur, claiming that they were going there to "finish him off".[57] Upon hearing this, Gobi immediately alerted the Las Vegas police, but the police claimed they were understaffed and no one could be sent.[57] Nonetheless, the shooters never arrived.[57] At the hospital, Shakur was in and out of consciousness, was heavily sedated, was breathing through a ventilator and respirator, was placed on life support machines, and was ultimately put under a barbiturate-induced coma after repeatedly trying to get out of the bed.[10][57][58]
Despite having been resuscitated in a trauma center and surviving a multitude of surgeries (as well as the removal of a failed right lung), Shakur had gotten through the critical phase of the medical therapy and was given a 50% chance of pulling through.[54] Gobi left the medical center after being informed that Shakur made a 13% recovery on the sixth night.[57] While in Critical Care Unit on the afternoon of September 13, 1996, Shakur died of internal bleeding; doctors attempted to revive him but could not impede his hemorrhaging.[10][58] His mother, Afeni, made the decision to tell the doctors to stop.[54][58] He was pronounced dead at 4:03 p.m. (PDT)[10] The official cause of death was noted as respiratory failure and cardiopulmonary arrest in connection with multiple gunshot wounds.[10] Shakur's body was cremated.[59] Some of his ashes were later mixed with marijuana and smoked by members of Outlawz.(That's wild, they really smoked Tupac! Well I think that tells us, if you thought he was alive, he is in the Outlaws lungs!)
