so you either have Netflix or don't, how does watching it if you already have it make you a mark

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Idk, I'm not the person who said it does.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Hoooly shit is this happening?!

[–] [email protected] 53 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Tbh, Jake has already lost. If he wins, people will say he beat up a 58yo man, former boxer or not. If he loses, he got beat up by a 58yo man.

Like, there's no way he can actually win in the square of public opinion, and I'm here for it.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 days ago (1 children)

He wins when he gets attention, and he will get that either way

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago

100% just like anything to do with Jake Paul, this is about money, and the fact that we are all talking about it really only points to one outcome. He won and we lost.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 5 days ago

Pretty sure he lost in the square of public opinion years ago, now he's just capitalizing on it.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Pretty sure it's all about the millions of dollars both men will make. If losing is becoming richer by more money than I'll ever see in my life then I'll lose all day long.

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

Probably, but a bit of wounded pride on top would be good for Jake.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Even if you're anti-Paul, watching the fight is free press for him. Same as how Trump did it

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Watch a pirated stream and don't talk about it and it's fine really.

[–] BigDanishGuy 2 points 5 days ago

You're right, it should have been pre-election and Trump instead of Paul. Now there's a fight I'd pay to watch

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm NOT watching the fight cause I refuse to give attention and money to a convicted rapist and an influencer creep

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I was not aware about Tyson being a rapist. Thanks for bringing this up. Damn them both.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

It happened so long ago, I forget many people weren't around. I thought it was common knowledge. I think it was the movie the hangover which started turning him into a meme and caused people to transfer that into actually liking Tyson. He's an idiot at best, a rapist at worst.

https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/boxing/jake-paul-vs-mike-tyson-fight-why-b2647687.html

Most fucked up part of the article, Tyson speaking about his victim:

"I just hate her guts,” he said of Washington in 2003. “She put me in that state, where I don’t know. I really wish I did now. But now I really do want to rape her.”

Tyson has also been quoted as saying he did “four or five things worse than what I’m accused of”. To eliminate any potential uncertainty – four or five things worse than rape.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Well this just about aged like fine milk. Far from beating Jake to a pulp, Tyson threw just 18 punches the entire fight. Though I suppose it's inevitable when Tyson is more than double Jake's age and he retired years ago

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Isn't this what basically half of people expected to happen? It was an exhibition, not a fight.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oh, I'm not surprised at the outcome, I expected the almost 60 y/o man to lose to the under 30 y/o man, but was just surprised to see the stats on just how little Tyson actually did in the fight.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

I haven't kept up with his stuff but according to some article I read, he's been essentially crippled for a few years now? Like had to be in a wheelchair 2 years ago, then vomited so much blood at one point that the fight was pushed by 6 months... He's not healthy for an 80 year old, much less 58.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 5 days ago (4 children)

I’m here for both of those things. I only wish it was Mike Tyson in his prime so we could really see a total annihilation of this asswipe.

[–] Kecessa 31 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Paul wouldn't have challenged Tyson in his prime, his professional career is a sham.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

But wouldn’t you love to see it happen?

[–] Kecessa 5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Who would be the equivalent these days? They should challenge Paul!

[–] rc__buggy 8 points 5 days ago

There is no equivalent to Iron Mike in his prime. GOAT

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

They do all the time, he's not gonna take any fight where he can lose, especially if money isn't the number one motivator. The fact that this isn't common sense is worrying.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Exactly. I want to see him fight the current heavyweight champion.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Akimbo Slice in his prime vs Paul would be more glorious.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That dude legit scared me through the computer screen during his backyard brawling days. It scared me to know people like him existed. Did you see the fight where he burst a dude's eye, and fucking blinded him?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

What's even scarier is that he got absolutely rolled when it came to pros.

You're not wrong, dude was champ in the non pro arena, and as soon as he stepped in it was just as shocking with different winners.

As much as I'd love to watch Jake Paul having to spit out all of his stupid teeth, I'm not paying those people fucking money.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Love the meme but hate the sport. The whole thing revolves around two people hurting each other and causing brain damage in the process. That’s not entertaining to me, that’s horrifying.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago

I wouldn't worry because anybody that called this event "boxing" also hates the sport...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

They're both trump supporters, so don't feel, the brain damage was a pre existing condition

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Oh we are definitely the same, friend. I want Jake Paul to look like extra pulp orange juice.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

Of course, I made the mistake of posting this exclusively on platforms where I hold the same opinions as everyone else.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

I want Tyson to work over Paul so hard that he talks like Tyson for the rest of his life.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

George Foreman once described Mike Tyson as a "cross-town bus in boxing trunks".

To be fair unfortunately Jake Paul is probably going to win easily given age difference that fact he is a professional fighter even if not elite and Mikes long retirement.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

I knew who the winner was as soon as I saw Mike walking to the ring. I was like "oh, damn"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Most of us are not watching the fight because Netflix is sucking a big tube steak tonight. I haven't seen this much buffering since dial up modems.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

I guess they created a hit event then! And cheaped out on their elastic servers.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

Ah, bollocks...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

I'm not watching it cuz shitass Netflix won't stop buffering.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

What if I'm both? I love Mike Tyson, and can't stand the paul brothers.

[–] southsamurai 2 points 5 days ago

¿Porque no los dos?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

No, I want to see Iron Mike kick his ass too!!
