Idk, this fight kinda makes me sad. Tyson should be playing with his grand kids at some retirement community in south Florida. Jake Paul can get fucked, he's obviously playing to Tyson's ego.

I see it as a sort of "I'm so rich I get to fight a living legend" instead of an actual contest. This is a sham.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Tbh goes both ways. Tyson also does whatever shit that gets him money.

Tbh goes both ways

Lol, i thought you were about to say Tyson was also about to fight a living legend 🤣

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Mike Tyson mysteries?

(RIP Norm Mcdonald)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

This. He prolly knows he’ll get his ass put through a meat grinder, but it’s worth it (to him) for the clicks. Everyone paying idiot amounts of money to see this happen? Both Paul and Tyson get a cut.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not just "thinks", he is counting on it. Weaponising the hate people have for him. He gets his shit kicked in and it'll go viral.

[–] anomnom 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah I suspect all his training has been just so he doesn’t die or go full vegetable after the knockout.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Our own Caligula.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Eh, Tyson is also likely doing this to promo Bunny-Man.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Why did everyone forgive Tyson for being a rapist and abuser?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago

They just made a convicted rapist and abuser president. People don’t care about women.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

He did serve his time, but yeah. Always a bit weird. Especially when you've got some real contemptible quotes from him like in this article:

https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/boxing/mike-tyson-jake-paul-boxing-rape-netflix-b2645133.html

If he was remorseful or even just didn't want to talk about it it'd be one thing, but he isn't.

[–] anomnom 2 points 1 week ago

I still haven’t forgiven him for the ear biting.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Probably got debt to pay off

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I very, very rarely wish death on people

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Bro I wish death on people all the time. Sometimes to their face. It's fucking awesome.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

I mean if I ever met him I'd tell him to his face. "I want to see Mike Tyson turn you into a grease spot lmao"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I wish I would die every month before I have to pay rent.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago

Bro just buy a house and avoid paying rent. I bought a townhouse in 2016 and it was awesome. I took me about 10 years to save up the full amount and I had to live with my parents until then but it was worth it. Don't throw your money away on rent.

Didn't he knock him out at one point and then hold him up as they cut to commercial?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago

Mayweather knocked him out on his feet and held him up until he could stand again

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

I’ll never understand how the price of entertainment has fallen so much that it’s practically free but Boxing/Wrestling you still have to pay ~$100 an episode????? And pay for cable.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Eh. I dunno. Tyson is in his 50s, and has a much shorter reach than Jake Paul. As much as I'd prefer to see him win, I don't think that Tyson is gonna pull this off.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Tyson boasts a career record of 50-6 with 44 victories via knockout.

he wasn't exactly an average fighter, going up against some great fighters.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Paul is 9-1, the one loss being a split decision, and 6 of the wins being knockouts. He's inexperienced, but that doesn't mean he's not good.

I want to see Tyson knock him out in under ten seconds. But I don't think I'll get my wish.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Best I can do is thirteen /s

[–] Awesomo85 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I hate Paul as much as anyone. I REALLY do! But.....

He is a pretty competent boxer.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

His brother is a competent wrestler too I hear. I always skip his matches cause I refuse to watch that piece of shit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

A lot of people really don't want to hear this, sadly.

Both Paul brothers are solid boxers, Jake especially. I'm in no way against their current plan to have weird pro matches because people of their fame would always struggle to have a legitimate amateur career. Admittedly I have little experience of amateur boxing, but in MMA the promotion around these events is often sketchy at best, critically unsafe at worst.

IMO Jake Paul having 12-15 influencer fights is like having a bunch of amateur fights. He'll probably only do a few and once he's ready for a can boxer (perhaps a Tommy Fury rematch) we'll see him retire. All in all, a fairly standard career for a professional fighter, which for a POS influencer is absolutely great.
