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

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

        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.

    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.

      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.

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

        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.

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

    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

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

        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.

          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.

    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.

    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.

      I wouldn’t worry because anybody that called this event “boxing” also hates the sport…

    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.

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

    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.

      That’s a huge compliment coming from the hardest hitting boxer of his time. Foreman was a fucking beast in his era. The only reason Ali beat him is because Ali fought smart, and Foreman was the dope who got roped into it.

    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.
