First lets start by letting you know, yes you will be paid handsomely for this. $125,000 tax free and any hospital bills you may incur will be taken care of at no cost to you.

Now the stipulations. First, you must wear a blindfold with your hands tied behind your back. Second, you must be able to stand relatively still for up to 12 hours. Lastly, you will be wearing noise cancelling earplugs so you cannot hear Tyson approach you.

Mike Tyson, in his physical prime has 12 hours to hit you as hard as he can anywhere he wants. The reason you are wearing the blindfold and earplugs with your hands tied behind your back is so you will have no idea when and from what angle the punch is coming. Having your hands tied also eliminates any chance of you potentially softening the blow by covering up either your face or your stomach.

Would $125,000 be enough for you to go through with this or would you need more money? If so, whats the least amount of money youd accept to do this? Do you think you could handle the torment of just standing there waiting for inevitable doom or would your nerves go haywire, forcing you to give up before going insane?

I don't know if I could hold still (no bathroom breaks or food), just waiting for 12 hours.

This goes either of two ways. 1 - Tyson is still human... he has no reason to want to punch another dude who hasn't given him any reason to hit him. Or 2 - nothing about not being able to talk, so trick him by muttering things like "not the left foot, not the left foot, and definitely not the buttocks" and then taunt him more than you can possibly fathom . Dial it up to 11 if it takes any longer than 30 seconds for him to get it over with.

So yeah, I'd do it.

This wouldn't be worth it without the blindfold and earplugs. There are boxers who get hit in the face for a living who say they've never been hit as hard as Tyson hits

Yes, if hes going all out and he gets to hit you clean, with prep time and no resistance, even much weaker people would stand a decent chance of killing you in those conditions.

Yeah, this is suicide. Offer a million dollars, and maybe I'd entertain it, but $125K isn't enough for all that. It's not even the hit that's the issue here... it's the mental torture wondering when it's going to happen, plus the sensual deprivation on top of that.

There's an ocean of difference between knowing you're going to take a hit and not. This is just a good way to break your neck.

I think it's more like "he hits you once but it could be at any time in these twelve hours."

It's about the suspense/surprise, same as the blindfold.

are we in a boxing ring in this scenario? i think that makes a difference.
in the ring, he'd see me as his opponent and then id be dead. outside the ring, he'd be like "whos this guy" and hopefully punch me in the stomach.

I'm just going to assume your phone changed sensory deprivation into sensual, because the latter would be a totally different ballgame.

This topic premise could be reasonable if it was just a boxing coach who knew where they could hit you to minimize injury while still punching reasonably hard (any punch from a professional boxer/coach is going to feel like you're getting hit as hard as they can to a regular person) and wasn't repeatedly over 12 hours

Honestly, even a single punch from Prime Tyson as hard as he can is going to reasonably kill most untrained people.
