A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Tbh, Jake has already lost. If he wins, people will say he beat up a 58yo man, former boxer or not. If he loses, he got beat up by a 58yo man.
Like, there's no way he can actually win in the square of public opinion, and I'm here for it.
Pretty sure he lost in the square of public opinion years ago, now he's just capitalizing on it.
He wins when he gets attention, and he will get that either way
100% just like anything to do with Jake Paul, this is about money, and the fact that we are all talking about it really only points to one outcome. He won and we lost.
Pretty sure it's all about the millions of dollars both men will make. If losing is becoming richer by more money than I'll ever see in my life then I'll lose all day long.

Even if you're anti-Paul, watching the fight is free press for him. Same as how Trump did it
Watch a pirated stream and don't talk about it and it's fine really.
You're right, it should have been pre-election and Trump instead of Paul. Now there's a fight I'd pay to watch
Well this just about aged like fine milk. Far from beating Jake to a pulp, Tyson threw just 18 punches the entire fight. Though I suppose it's inevitable when Tyson is more than double Jake's age and he retired years ago
Isn't this what basically half of people expected to happen? It was an exhibition, not a fight.
Oh, I'm not surprised at the outcome, I expected the almost 60 y/o man to lose to the under 30 y/o man, but was just surprised to see the stats on just how little Tyson actually did in the fight.
I haven't kept up with his stuff but according to some article I read, he's been essentially crippled for a few years now? Like had to be in a wheelchair 2 years ago, then vomited so much blood at one point that the fight was pushed by 6 months... He's not healthy for an 80 year old, much less 58.
I’m here for both of those things. I only wish it was Mike Tyson in his prime so we could really see a total annihilation of this asswipe.
Paul wouldn't have challenged Tyson in his prime, his professional career is a sham.
But wouldn’t you love to see it happen?
Who would be the equivalent these days? They should challenge Paul!
There is no equivalent to Iron Mike in his prime. GOAT
They do all the time, he's not gonna take any fight where he can lose, especially if money isn't the number one motivator. The fact that this isn't common sense is worrying.
Exactly. I want to see him fight the current heavyweight champion.
Akimbo Slice in his prime vs Paul would be more glorious.
That dude legit scared me through the computer screen during his backyard brawling days. It scared me to know people like him existed. Did you see the fight where he burst a dude's eye, and fucking blinded him?
What's even scarier is that he got absolutely rolled when it came to pros.
You're not wrong, dude was champ in the non pro arena, and as soon as he stepped in it was just as shocking with different winners.

I'm NOT watching the fight cause I refuse to give attention and money to a convicted rapist and an influencer creep
I was not aware about Tyson being a rapist. Thanks for bringing this up. Damn them both.
It happened so long ago, I forget many people weren't around. I thought it was common knowledge. I think it was the movie the hangover which started turning him into a meme and caused people to transfer that into actually liking Tyson. He's an idiot at best, a rapist at worst.

Most fucked up part of the article, Tyson speaking about his victim:
"I just hate her guts,” he said of Washington in 2003. “She put me in that state, where I don’t know. I really wish I did now. But now I really do want to rape her.”
Tyson has also been quoted as saying he did “four or five things worse than what I’m accused of”. To eliminate any potential uncertainty – four or five things worse than rape.
As much as I'd love to watch Jake Paul having to spit out all of his stupid teeth, I'm not paying those people fucking money.
Oh we are definitely the same, friend. I want Jake Paul to look like extra pulp orange juice.
Of course, I made the mistake of posting this exclusively on platforms where I hold the same opinions as everyone else.
I want Tyson to work over Paul so hard that he talks like Tyson for the rest of his life.
Love the meme but hate the sport. The whole thing revolves around two people hurting each other and causing brain damage in the process. That’s not entertaining to me, that’s horrifying.
I wouldn't worry because anybody that called this event "boxing" also hates the sport...
They're both trump supporters, so don't feel, the brain damage was a pre existing condition
Most of us are not watching the fight because Netflix is sucking a big tube steak tonight. I haven't seen this much buffering since dial up modems.
I guess they created a hit event then! And cheaped out on their elastic servers.
To be fair unfortunately Jake Paul is probably going to win easily given age difference that fact he is a professional fighter even if not elite and Mikes long retirement.

George Foreman once described Mike Tyson as a "cross-town bus in boxing trunks".

I'm not watching it cuz shitass Netflix won't stop buffering.
Ah, bollocks...
Nah, Jake Paul getting facefisted is the only reason I'd watch this shit.
But this has shenanigans written all over it, so I'm not gonna give it my attention.
¿Porque no los dos?
What if I'm both? I love Mike Tyson, and can't stand the paul brothers.
