Prince trolled Mike a lot because he secretly idolized him
Mike made no secret that he thought he "could beat" Prince but still respected his artistry
Prince told his first engineer that Michael was his "hero"
He did try to get at LaToya, she said he was nice, but too small
He was very tight at Mike about the James Brown thing
Prince was devastated when Mike passed
When the news came, Prince sent everyone home immediately
No one heard from Prince until the following week

Oh yeah, Prince cussed out the girl from The Way You Make Me Feel video for talking to the tabloids about Mike after the Chandler allegations hit.

-Only did the tour because his mother wanted it...the brothers needed the money

-Mike didn't want the pepsi sponsorship...didn't even drink it

- The ticket situation where you had to buy tickets in blocks of 4..The brothers,Don King, Joseph and the promoter came up with the idea, Mike was overuled by the majority

Those wishing to attend would have to send a postal money order for $120 ($290 in modern dollars[1]) along with a special form to a lottery to buy blocks of four tickets at $30 apiece (US$72 in 2018 dollars[1]), ostensibly to curtail scalpers. Upon receipt the money was to be deposited into a standard money market account earning 7% annual interest; it would take six to eight weeks for the lottery to be held

-James Brown was invited to perform at MSG but he refused because was pisses at the ticket prices

-Mike received all the backlash and alot of black fans were priced out
- Mike wasn't talking to his brothers off stage and they had seperare transportation, had lawyers speaking for them

That tour was a big reason in why the relationship between Mike and his family broke down.. That and dude getting vitiligo in the prime of his career, then getting his scalped burned in the commercial and having to wear hairpieces.

MJ also donated all of his earnings from the Victory tour. He basically gave away $5 million dollars.

I'm late to the party but people are really disrespecting Prince. He wasn't Micahel Jackson and no one else will ever be. but he was pretty damn lit. I don't get it but but hey. People sleep on James Brown like he was just a nobody so I guess it is what it is.
