Tyson was definitely paid to lose and not give it his all.

Dude is 60 and hasn't had a real fight in like 20 years. I get it, everyone hates the Paul's, but people are delusional if they thought Tyson was going to come out there and beat the duck out of him. Lol

It was dumb but also it's in line with keeping WWE kayfabe since he's a douche heel there

Also I'm surprised no one has clipped the coach in the post fight interview of Taylor vs Serrano. Funniest line of the night.

Tyson certainly could have put more effort into the fight. I knew Tyson wasn't going to win but I didn't expect him to do the bare minimum or for both of them to more or less just dance around.

He's 60. He was jacked for his age and did the training.

I don't think he did the bare minimum and Tyson won the first two rounds. Dude literally just ran out of stamina in round 3 and couldn't go any farther. He did as much as he possibly could. Jake Paul is the one who played it safe.

I think a lot of people thought Tyson would win because he would take the fight seriously while Paul would take it as a joke and Tyson would surprise Paul and get a quick KO.

People just need to wisen up and stop consuming this crap. I love sports, and even i saw this match as pretty fucking stupid. If most people would learn to stop consuming crap. We'd get better quality entertainment from corporations, and better products.

Tyson was fighting a juiced 27yr old that weighed sub 190lbs against Tommy Fury and somehow magically gained 40lbs in order to fight Tyson...

Tyson had almost zero advantages going into this fight. He had a jacked up leg and almost had to cancel the fight due to pre-existing conditions, is shorter, much shittier reach, dramatically worse gas tank, and even Tysons power advantage was mitigated by Jake magically becoming a nearly 230lbs over night, which for anyone who has ever done weight training knows is literally impossible to do unless you are juicing to the gills.

Most men don't gain 40lbs of lean muscle mass over their base genetic size their entire weight lifting career (over decades), a grown ass fully developed man magically gaining 40lbs in 6 months and still having a flat stomach and no man tits and it all being pretty lean is 100% steroids, steroids, and more steroids.

What did Paul do differently to magically gain 40lbs of lean mass? Eat more chicken and broccoli and work out extra hard? Like he hasn't already been doing this his entire fighting career? Lolololol

I knew Tyson was hosed the very second Jake came into the fight as a juiced up HW despite already having the severe age advantage, as the size and skill advantage was all Tyson had and Jake removed the size advantage, and skill alone isn't going to cut it in combat sports when your opponent outstats you in every category unless your opp is a scrub, and Jake Paul unfortunately is not a complete scrub, which anyone who has seen any of his past fights, whether you like him or not, can attest at this point.

It exposed a lot of non boxing fans to two excellent fights that were part of the event. Boxing is essentially dead, so to survive it needs new people being exposed to good fights like that regardless of why they originally showed up. Youre advocating for it to die as some sort of purity test?

The one he was originally scheduled to fight against Jake Paul but he got hurt during training so it was pushed to november

The original fight was scheduled for July. And it was delayed because he got a stomach ulcer.

Boxing is dead as a mainstream sport. It was arguably the most popular sport around 1900 for example. Nowadays, its a rather niche sport and the only really draws a big audience when big meme fights like this one are shown.

Yeah boxing now is just the occasional big gimmick fight

As a general sport, it's not what it used to be

Traditional boxing
How many viewers even knew about the first Taylor vs Serrano fight and how amazing that one was? How many viewers knew who Barrios even is?

The amount of times I had to explain to people that Rosie Perez actually does know her shit and wasn't there to just be a celebrity announcer was pretty high. She's just a bad play by play announcer but has been involved with boxing for a long time.

These are not signs of a thriving sport. People just showed up to watch a 90s legend fight a social influencer and were accidentally exposed to some legitimately good fights

PPVs are dead. If boxing starts regularly being a thing you can watch on Netflix the sport would get much more attention.

Netflix has some growing pains for live broadcasting for sure. They're definitely going to invest more.

They are going to have to. You think WWE will let it slide if they have awful broadcasts? They will find a way to get out of their contract immediately.
