Current Events > The amount of people condoning what Tyson did

(+) Yeah! (+)

Apparently getting paid is the only thing that matters. Selling out, following a script and putting an * by your legacy doesn't matter. What y'all think?

I didn't watch or follow it. Did Tyson actually lose?

the only person he has to answer to is himself.

if money > legacy for him, then it's whatever, as far as I'm concerned.

When he let his ass cheeks hang out?

He's not going to care when he's dead.

I heard he made like $20M. Yeah id sell out. Its not like he gets to many opportunities for massive paydays these days.

what did he do

I was not aware this had any effect on his legacy.

Im pretty sure he already got an asterix after he beat up Robin

I mean the whole "is a boxer", "ate that guy's ear" and an infinite pile of memes seems pretty secure in the face of throwing a match against a minor douchebag for money

Get that bag I guess

You watched a fight with a 60 year old man fighting a dude in his 20s and expected the old man to win?

He literally said he doesn't care about legacy because he will be dead.

Do not give a fuck either way. I just hoped Jake Paul got injured somehow.

Yeah, but it was the expected result. He's too old to be boxing professionally at all.

Here's what Tyson has to say about his legacy.

I say get that bag, though I dislike each of the participants for reasons besides this fight.

What legacy? His legacy is a knockout artist in a historically terrible era of heavyweights who got his ass kicked whenever the other fighter put up resistance.

Him getting battered by jabs from Lewis is who is was a fighter.

Yeah the guy is 60 and coming off a near-death experience. Set himself up for what's left of his life and his legacy isn't particularly tarnished. No one's gonna take that fight seriously.

his legacy should always just be that he's a rapist but instead he's getting millions of dollars and treated like some goofy old man

Following the script

oh lawd

what did he do

He took a fight when he was pushing 60, looked bad, because of course, he's pushing 60, and then got paid a shit load of money for doing it.

I think that's literally it.

even more concerning, the amount of people who watched this.

he actually looked good for a 60 year old tbh

for reference Ali retired at 39, Lewis at 38, Foremans amazing late life run in boxing ended at 48

mike looked bad in his exhibition against Roy Jones Jr 4 years ago, and looked slightly better in this Paul fight.

hes 58, the fact he didnt fall down and die shows he didnt do too bad

I wonder if yall will hold th4 same energy else where

Yes. Not by K.O. but scoring.
It is officially on his record too because Tyson put it up to be an official fight to make people believe he wasn't just doing this for a paycheck.

what energy and what context

like Tyson straight up does not care about legacy. He seems to hold it in a negative light, if anything.

I think his legacy should be a little more marred by being a wife beating rapist cannibal, TBQH.

what did he do

He got paid $20 million to spend 16 minutes fighting Jake Paul. Some people are pissed that the 58 year old Mike Tyson fought like a 58 year old.

He won't defend himself for being judged harshly I guess since he doesn't care apparently. I wonder about his fans, though.

Jake got double..

Jake probably organized the whole thing.

I really don't understand people expecting a 58 year old to beat a 27 year old. Why would this affect his legacy? If Michael Jordan were to come out of retirement and play like horse shit, how would that affect his legacy? I saw a comment on FB saying because of this loss, he could no longer call Tyson the GOAT. Like wtf?!

You would think. They also had him on an episode of SVU, so all that just gets ignored ofc

Coming back at all would affect his legacy. Not playing like dog shit. That's to be expected.

But TBF Tyson boasted a fuck ton shit about how in shape and great he still is. Obviously he hyped himself up just to sell his show for money. But I guess that's all good right? And I thought we were anti-capitalism? We're celebrating him using these scummy tactics to get paid? The dude has more than enough already to life luxuriously.

Fun fact texas is the only state where it is legal for there to be a 10 year gap in boxing. Im not going to get into some conspiracy drivel about two people I really dont give a fuck about.

Is he supposed to tell fans that he's an old man and long training sessions leave him tired and his leg feels like shit?

If someone offered me 20MM to show my butt? I'd make sure my girlfriend would understand

I'm not understanding how a 58 year old man signing up for a boxing match is a scummy tactic.

So you're good with him lying to his fans?

Guys, it's totally ok to say "I give Tyson the exception".

I remember a certain TC promising that he'd stop trolling CE, yet here we are. Sometimes we put up with a good story if it produces a good show.

When you can't attack the argument you attack the person. Never change, CE.

It wasn't an attack, it was an observation that related back to Tyson and answered your question.

Anyone who watched this monument to stupidity has only themselves to blame.

What a joke man. The fact the 3 fights before it were actual fights with faces getting split open and the girl fight where lady left with 3 eyelids only to get to the Tyson fight where Tyson looked stiff as a board and Paul still barely would engage him. Main event and they both left without a scratch. The contrast of a real fight against that fake bullshit is too obvious.

I feel like there has to be some sort of direct correlation between "people who thought a 60 year old retired boxer with health problems that hasn't had an actual professional fight in like 20 years beating the piss out of an athletic 27 year old with boxing experience and legitimate boxing trainers" and "Donald Trump gets re-elected."

Is this about how their frozen chicken has both inflated and shrinkflated continuously for like 20 years?

Yes I too like to use semantics to downplay what I'm actually doing.
