recently caught up with Anthony and Vazquez at the TAG’s Signature
Series Launch party in Los Angeles. –a.r.
Why is it important for you to delve into projects outside sports?
Anthony: It’s
very important. I’m excited to be a part of the TAG brand and putting
my own company out in the forefront. We have a production company and a
record label. Our first movie was Tyson and our artists are Diego Cash and Cassidy. So we’re doing a bit of everything right now.
Your company produced the Tyson film. What was that like?
Vazquez: Working on the Tyson
documentary was a great experience. It was a great way to enter the
movie world and let Hollywood know that we are serious. That was our
first project and we would like to thank everyone who supported it. The
film did very well and there’s a lot more to come from our company.
Have either of you spoken with Mike Tyson since the death of his daughter?
Vazquez: We
sent our condolences to Mike Tyson after his daughter died and let him
know that we would be there for him if needed anything.
Anthony: I got a chance to talk to him at the ESPY Awards. He seemed to be in good spirits and he appreciated our condolences.
How are things coming with your wedding plans?
Vazquez:
We are starting the initial process of putting the wedding together. We
have picked a [wedding] date, but we’re not ready to reveal it to the
public just yet. But it will be soon.
