It is quite interesting that Mike Tyson (who I understand had a very difficult childhood) came from humble (if not horrible) beginnings; became a top ranked boxer; spent time in prison for rape; went broke; got out of prison; boxed some more; aged out of competitive boxing; and has become a cultural icon (with him having post boxing success and positive notoriety); and now is going to box again (and likely make a lot of money for doing so).
I wonder what Cus D'Amato; and Mike Tyson's mother would think of him today at 58 years of age?

Like him or not, Mike does have a very interesting charisma and intelligence about him.
I'll say this much, even if there is some sort of scripted nonsense I'd be willing to bet Iron Mike just says the heck with that nonsense I'm going to pound this dude lol
He probably doesn't care about any potential repercussions since he is not going to be doing this again for the most part.
Tyson understands this is entertainment. He'll follow the script regardless of whether the script has him winning or losing, as either outcome guarantees him a nice payday.
Regardless of what you might think about Jake Paul, much like the Kardashians he has a great understanding of coming up with a product that will generate public hype and interest and then marketing it through social media to make hundreds of millions.
Boxing has become almost non-existent over the years. Many of its fans migrated to UFC, which left very little interest in boxing. Jake Paul's publicity stunts have generated more interest in the sport over the years, which does help the sport overall. So again, whatever you might think about Jake Paul, he has had an overwhelmingly positive impact on boxing.

Paul made a joke about that in a clip I saw during the weigh in press conference / he had some kind of sharp diamond sleeve over the top of at least one ear and mentioned that it would protect him

Yeah, same here - as usual, streaming live just doesn’t work when you get any significant volume. HBO saw it when Game of Thrones was at its peak, but hoped Netflix would have figured it out. Audio is keeping up, but video is frozen. Other Netflix shows streaming just fine, it’s only the fight that’s struggling.

Sounds like they will be giving out a lot of refunds. I will be cancelling netflix tomorrow. I'm not a fan of apps.
Not Tyson. Pathetic you just do not fight at 58 years old just sad!!! Take the money Mike and just leave boxing for the youth. Your glory days were the best but it is time to hang it up forever.
To those who didn't see that abomination, consider yourself lucky
30 minutes of my life i wish I had back
Those two stole 60 mil
I think Tyson landed 20 or so punches. That's a little over 2 per round for those scoring at home. He literally went rounds without throwing more than a couple of punches

Nailed it. Tyson’s age obviously showed, but I didn’t see anything about Paul to make me think he could beat any legit heavyweights either. I’m a dumbarse for staying up late hoping for something electric to happen. Nope, furthest from exciting it could be. The little bit I saw of the women’s fight before the main event was a hell of a lot better.
I wouldn't even use Tyson's age as the reason he lost this fight, it looked like he never even made a real attempt at going after Paul. He was barely throwing any punches at all.

Not just the fight but also the complete abortion of a boxing broadcast by Netflix. i had to exit out of Netflix and restart the app about 40 times tonight.
It was fairly clear that Paul was either told not to tee off on Mike or that he just didn't want to embarrass his idol. That said, both fighters were pathetic.

Mike would have been down in the 3rd if not fixed,
Rematch possible .. I won't watch
$40 M for Paul $20 M f or Mike ( not bad for 16 minutes ...lololol

Perhaps he was TIRED ???
Sure,by the end he must have been tired but he didn't lose last night because he was tired. If you watched the three Paul vs Tyson Countdown episodes in the weeks leading up to this fight, there was a stark difference in how Tyson looked in his workouts compared to how he did in that ring when it actually counted.
We came in hoping to see Mike Tyson's Punch Out and we ended up with Mike Tyson's Punch Out,
Supposedly there was a two seat box literally right up against the base of the ring that someone paid 2M to sit in, don't know how accurate that was though.

i dont get it . you backed up your typewriter and whacked a minus sign over an H .
what makes even less sense is when I quoted it there is no longer a minus sign over the H but 2 tildes before the h and 2 after it. 4 tildes! this is unheard of

This handheld emulator just got delivered last night and Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out was one of the 10k+ games on it.
Haven’t played it yet but I have a hunch Jake Paul has a better chance of beating Mike in real life than I do of beating pixelated Mike lol.

my book has more prop bets on this fight than i care to count
i blew through them but one caught my eye: what part of Paul's body will Tyson bite
his penis was +10000
dead serious
i almost tossed a buck on it. still might

I rewound a few minutes to try to get to more of a non-live streaming experience. So far so good.

I tried to watch, but after 2 hours of nonsense, I went to bed.
Did not see one second of the fight.
Glad I didn't pay for that.
Would like to have read the minds of the folks sitting up front that paid big $$ to sit there...
I was disappointed Tyson looked so slow.
The ladies fight was something else. They made the wrong decision but that was way better entertainment than Paul-Tyson.

Parley all three like 10to1 ..lololol
i dont get it . you backed up your typewriter and whacked a minus sign over an H .
what makes even less sense is when I quoted it there is no longer a minus sign over the H but 2 tildes before the h and 2 after it. 4 tildes! this is unheard of
ok now that i hit post the 4 tildes are gone and i again see an H with a superimposed minus sign.
For a brief moment I think i saw directly into the matrix.
Already in motion bro 😂😂😂
