What the hell does that mean? No Paul fan, questioning you believing Paul that he really tried to kill him. It was clearly a scripted (no knock out clause) money grab.

I didn't say he tried to kill him. I just said i was very impressed how a 27 year old can beat the shit out of a 58 year old man. It was a money grab shit show is what it was.
🤣🤣
You believe what boxers say
If you watched the fight you would know he did not after the 3rd rd
You can't be serious with this comment
No you said Jake said in his interview he tried to hurt him
It was so obvious he did not try to hurt him
So what you do boxing bros think would have happened if Mike Tyson was fighting for his life? And everything was on the line. I know Jake Paul is just a serial social media hustler, who took it pretty far with this professional fighter thing, which definitely was undertaken in the relentless quest for more content, but he's developed some real fighting skills in the process.
So are you saying Mike Tyson would have beaten him to death if the gloves were off so to speak? I would assume so, but I'm not into boxing. I don't know how good Jake Paul really is or not. I figure he would be destroyed in a true, actual no holds barred fight. Certainly one involving Mike Tyson, I don't care how old he is, he looked fit enough to me.

Oh so that means it was a great shit show, SMH. Kind of like if a coach makes millions, he must be great
He brings eyeballs and fans to the sport. Something boxing desperately needs. He puts on solid undercards usually something that rarely happens in boxing anymore. And he pays his fighters an impressive amount. Something also lacking in boxing
Boxing needs eyeballs and new fans in the worst way.
Boxing is a corrupt, money grabbing, extremely poor ran business.
He's not an embarrassment to the sport. He's worked his ass off and is bringing new fans in.
If some pro boxers had his work ethic and showmanship, boxing wouldn't need someone like him and others and would be in a much better position now than it is
I think he’s good for the sport simply because we are talking about boxing again! As stated previously here, I loved boxing when you had Hearns and Leonard and Duran and Hagler and Ali and Frazier and Norton and Foreman, et al… I grew up listening to major fights on the radio. My damn heart was in my throat half the time. Closed circuit showing of the fights at the theatres was a negative imo, and loved when tv finally started broadcasting the major bouts. The sport slowly eroded fan support and I lost interest with the advent of competing sanctioning bodies, and the proliferation of crowned champions. At one point, there were something like four heavyweight belt holders. Asinine. Then cage fighting jumped into the void and took off at boxing’s expense. Wish we were talking about a serious bout between two boxers vying for an undisputed world championship instead of an exhibition between a long over the hill 58 yr old Tyson and quasi pro in Paul.
They should have just added that farce to the lineup at the next WrestleMania. Same level of credibility.
So was the fight fixed or not? If it was fixed, meaning it was all just a staged pantomime, then obviously it was not good for the sport. Even if it wasn't, it was an extremely pathetic exhibition fight pitting a mothereffin' social media 'influencer', and well-known scam artist and literal grifter now turned indeed quasi-professional pugilist, vs arguably the most feared fighter in boxing history, at age, what, 58? For maximum brand recognition and wow factor, with the boxing being almost incidental. Also not good for the sport. Other than someone else might want to watch normal boxing, based on that travesty.
We’re talking about boxing because he helped bring a lot of eyes to the sport again
The problem, that main event will have those eyes not ever returning again, myself included
I chose not to watch. I was at Foreman’s first fight out of retirement, and even though he won, it was a pathetic example of boxing. Figured last night’s so called bout would be worse. Think I made the right call for me.
I thought Tyson looked pretty good from the clips. It looks like he's still got it!
I was told that the contract stated that if Tyson wins by a knockout in the first round, he doesn’t get paid almost the same thing in the second round and that there was a progressive payout, depending upon how many rounds the fight went hence I think going to distance was all driven by money not by fighting
"Fixed" has strange meaning in boxing. I read that Foreman's comeback matches, including even the time we won the title back, were "fixed." Not because the opponent was paid money to take drive, but that he was unmotivated and told that nothing good would come if he beat Foreman. I call that being a loser but I don't follow boxing at all.
Anyone who thought Tyson had a chance or the fight was rigged are idiots
The guy was 58 years old and hadn't fought in 20 years. And 20 years ago he was a shell of himself.
He nevwr should have been in the ring and I'm glad Jake didnt try to hurt him

It wasn't staged. The only thing is Paul didn't try to hurt him. Other than no it wasn't
So they staged it to be a very boring fight with no drama and Tyson looking old and slow.
Okay got it
You act like this opinion is some wild far fetched take.
It ain’t that difficult to stage something like that.
Yeah it's extremely easy
But the point went way over your head
If you are going to stage something and it was rigged, they would have rigged it to be a fun exciting fight. There would be drama and action. And they wouldn't have told Mike to look absolutely horrible.
Just think about what you are saying. You are trying to say they rigged a fight, to be absolutely horrible to watch for the fans
No lol
Only an idiot would maintain that the fight wasn’t rigged once the terms of the progressive payout for Tyson were revealed.
Yes I watched a lot of his training for the fight. He looks old and slow. He moves at a decent speed in very short bursts. But he can't sustain it
Ok, I can post reasonably with you most of the time...but you are off your rocker on this one.
It was minimally a just in time, fait accompli staging...as Jake clearly pulled off, respecting Mike, so that both of them could laugh their way to the bank. I wouldn't at all be surprised if they explicitly through their managers agreed on how this would be fought.
It would take Jesus Christ to reveal something else. Can you get him to tell us the truth?
