There were no “good guys” in that fight - as both guys are shitty people, but of course the worse guy won. That’s how this year is going. See also: the US elections.

Oh wow no way what a surprise I wonder if Paul's agent has a chunk missing from his bank account and I wonder if that same amount of money appeared in Tyson's agent's bank damn wow how crazy who could've seen this coming?
Honestly tho, if you paid to watch a convicted rapist, and somebody credibly accused of sexual assault fight you're kinda weird as fuck
It wasn’t actually pay per view, just sayin
Also, the payday was about 20 mil for Tyson iirc
It was like soft-PPV because you needed Netflix. But, yeah, not old-school PPV by a long shot
The cynic in me thinks this was staged to prime a rematch.. a money grab all round.
Dude's almost 60 years old. I really don't understand the hype of watching someone fight a retired athlete.
You never saw Mike Tyson at his height did you? I only saw a little, and I wanted to see if Iron Mike could stave off Father Time and capture a little bit of what used to be.
Imagine inviting a bunch of people to watch you beat up on someone’s ~~dad~~ grandad, charging people for it, then having the audacity to be proud of it. People got a little dumber yesterday.
Yeah he were. Paul gets his jollies from thumping on old weres
Why did that shitty influencer beat up the crazy guy from The Hangover?
Tens of millions of dollars for each of them, that’s why
Lol Tyson fought against an influencer? Idk what's going on in the world I guess. Did I miss historical content and have to search about it?
Tyson needed money and got people excited at the chance of beating up Paul. Him and Paul seem both happy about the fight. It was entertaining to me, but apparently other people had different thoughts on what a 58 year old man can do in the ring. It went exactly the way, I heard many people assumed. Tyson came out hard and got some good hits, but after round 2 he was spent. Paul probably could have KO'd him in the later rounds, but he seemed to let up after he stumbled Tyson with some jabs.
I don't think it was staged or whatever. They are both entertainers that entertained me for the evening. The woman's fight was a better fight, imo. I don't agree with the results of that one though. Still I found it entertaining, which is the point, right?
No, don't waste your time
Thx
I'm guessing by the meme influx, Tyson got clobbered?
No, it went full time and Tyson lost via decision. But it was just the fact that he was old. You could tell watching that if he were 10 years younger he’d have clobbered Paul.
A lot of people (including me) were hoping for the clobbering, but alas…
Yeah, Paul was bouncing around like an idiot. Tyson didn’t have his legs and kept fucking around with his mouthpiece.
The whole fight looked like a kid who took a couple boxing lessons at the local fight gym challenged someone’s grandpa who used to fight.
He wasn't fucking with his mouthpiece. He said in the post-fight interview "I have a biting fixation."
Ahhh… that’s what one of the announcers was saying, but it totally looked like a mouthpiece adjustment to me, more than a biting something.
Regardless, Iron Mike wasn’t himself.
Yeah one thing older people lack is stamina. I figured if Tyson didn't take him out quickly he wasn't going to win.
Mike should only fight against people he already beat, like his ex wife.
