Mike Tyson's cameo in The Hangover universe was worth $300,000 ($100,000 for Part one and $200,000 for Part two), which was quite a small price to pay for the impact he brought to the film. Tyson is a former heavyweight champion and a public figure with a mass following, thus making his appearance in the movies both, shocking and hilarious. Producers thought that his involvement would add unpredictability to the story and appeal to a wider audience. These appearances recharged his career, and he was handsomely paid for these cameos.
