The same people who took this seriously are the same people who mock wrestling fans. And wrestling fans could see through this.
What about Mexican wrestling fans? Since they are wearing masks it might be a bit harder for them to see through this.
You buffoon. Those masks have X-ray. They saw better.
Wrestling fans know good kayfabe when they see it.
I don’t see how Paul wins here at all. Either he beats up a 60 year old man or gets beat by a 60 year old man. There’s no way to look good in this.
He won 40 mil and Mike won 20 mil.
It was dumb, we paid attention, Tyson cashed in. Nobody was hurt. They both won.
Yeah, but I would have really appreciated it if Paul was hit KO. Would have made everything just a bit nicer.
Oh yeah, it would have.
I think if tyson won, they’d just get him to keep fighting weird fights.
“fight this baboon”
“fight this kangaroo”
“fight this pack of hot dogs”
“fight for your right, to paaaaaaaaartayyyyy”
I’d definitely watch Tyson take on all 3 of the Beastie Boys. Especially if the Boys dressed up in their Sabotage costumes.
I would pay to see it, but I have a feeling one of them won’t be much of a challenge.
Is this really how I find out one of them died? Holy shit…
Nobody was hurt
I mean, they both also won just a little bit of CTE.
True. I guess i was thinking sprained ankle or something
Hit the old man enough to win by decision but not actually hurt him. That’s the only real winning path - and exactly what happened.
Meh it’s the 60 year old man’s decision to fight. Your argument is in the same vein as “you can’t fight against a woman”. If they want it, so be it.
That’s not a fair comparison, age matters, most people don’t get smarter or stronger when they grow old. More fair comparison would be “you can’t fight against a child”, some children are quite strong for their age, as Mike definitely is for his age, and some eager children would surely want to fight against a professional in his prime. But there’s no point for said professional to fight them apart from a show match, and you don’t destroy children or elders in a show match even of you can.
Other then the fact of “money” I don’t see why Tyson did this. He’s a fuckin legend and he knows he’s better then this hothead youtuber. Paul his boxing pants are worth 1million because it’s full of diamonds. How far from reality do you want to live. But whatever.
It’s not unheard of for boxers to get in the ring after their prime for exhibition matches. Why wouldn’t they want to get more out of their career
If anyone actually watched the whole thing, Tyson came out hot and Paul had a moment of fear. Then old man got hit a few times and looked like he was about to wobble to the ground.
I thought it was gonna be fake and scripted. And most of it was. But, the actual fight? Mike came out hot and it was pretty clear Paul could have taken him out a number of times but didn’t. He didn’t want to hurt him.
Look, I don’t like Jake Paul or Mike Tyson. But, it was a media event. It wasn’t “rigged”
Best summary I’ve read.
Thanks for the summary, I was wondering how it went down.
I think Tyson had the power in his arms to do some damage but he just did not have the speed to get in at all after 2 rounds. And he’d leave himself open if he tried.
After the 3rd he couldn’t stance, he was flat on his feet.
But, it was a media event. It wasn’t “rigged”
You could gamble on it, which means there was money to be made courting suckers.
I’m sure the lion’s share of “rigged” proclamations were coming from folks who got baited into bad bets.
Fake News, you couldn’t watch the fight on Netflix it was stills between buffers.
But for real who expect an out of form 60yo to do anything but loose.
The only way we watched is on my wife’s Ipad and it was because we weren’t watching live. We were about 10 minutes behind the live stream. I tried to join on my Google TV and Netflix would crash.
Things do get looser as you get older
Glad I didn’t give Netflix any money.
Of course it was, Tyson isn’t a Saiyan. He ain’t getting stronger at 60.
