Watching a bit of Paul vs Tyson

Rigged money spinner. Imagine Tyson going through all that effort and conditioning and then barely throwing a punch. If he was serious about winning he would have had to end it in the first 3 rounds because his age was always going to count against him from then on. Crowd starting to boo in round 8 says it all. Someone got a payday, but it wasn't any of the folks suckered into thinking this was going to be some kind of spectacle.

280 million got suckered, Netflix scooped the jackpot thanks to the fools.

That was crap. Tyson rarely ever got onto his inside. Instead, Paul used an outfighter style to keep Tyson at the end of his reach. 

Tyson was always all about hand speed….none left.

I see Netflix will be showing the forthcoming 6 Nations .......... should be a huge fillip re rugby viewership.

That was crap.

No it wasn't it was a farce. Not sure what is more dumb ......the farce or millions paying to watch a farce.

Ali, yonks ago was involved in something similar, laid with his back on the canvass fighting some multi skilled martial arts Japanese fighter.

The winner of the Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson was … irrelevant. It’s all about the money, and don’t think for a second that it was be about anything else.

After the dust settled on the highly-anticipated, made for streaming exhibition boxing match on Netflix, that took place in November, both YouTuber Paul and Tyson would be left laughing all the way to the bank.

Both fighters reportedly earned between $30 and $40 million each, or R545 and R726 million.

‘Iron Mike’ Tyson is undeniably one of the best heavyweight boxers of all time, but that was at the turn of the century, with the prime of his career coming during the mid 90s. Paul, in contrast is 27 and has just 11 pro fights to his name.

This trend of boxers coming out of retirement many years later for something that is nothing more than an exhibition fight, despite all the hype saying otherwise, is not looked kindly upon by the pugilist purists.

It was the biggest flop of 2024 . . . .a hyped up contest that was nothing more than a joke.

The sport of Boxing has a lot to answer for.

It was the biggest flop farce of 2024
