Why did everyone forgive Tyson for being a rapist and abuser?
Comment on Paul vs. Tyson

Idk, this fight kinda makes me sad. Tyson should be playing with his grand kids at some retirement community in south Florida. Jake Paul can get fucked, he’s obviously playing to Tyson’s ego.

They just made a convicted rapist and abuser president. People don’t care about women.

He did serve his time, but yeah. Always a bit weird. Especially when you’ve got some real contemptible quotes from him like in this article:
independent.co.uk/…/mike-tyson-jake-paul-boxing-r…
If he was remorseful or even just didn’t want to talk about it’d be one thing, but he isn’t.

I still haven’t forgiven him for the ear biting.

Eh, Tyson is also likely doing this to promo Bunny-Man.

I see it as a sort of “I’m so rich I get to fight a living legend” instead of an actual contest. This is a sham.

Tbh goes both ways. Tyson also does whatever shit that gets him money.

Lol, i thought you were about to say Tyson was also about to fight a living legend 🤣

This. He prolly knows he’ll get his ass put through a meat grinder, but it’s worth it for the clicks.

Not just “thinks”, he is counting on it. Weaponising the hate people have for him. He gets his shit kicked in and it’ll go viral.

Yeah I suspect all his training has been just so he doesn’t die or go full vegetable after the knockout.
