Bro I wish death on people all the time. Sometimes to their face. It’s fucking awesome.

I mean if I ever met him I’d tell him to his face. “I want to see Mike Tyson turn you into a grease spot lmao”

I wish I would die every month before I have to pay rent.
Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Didn’t he knock him out at one point and then hold him up as they cut the commercial?
workerONE@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Mayweather knocked him out on his feet and held him up until he could stand again

I’ll never understand how the price of entertainment has fallen so much that it’s practically free but Boxing/Wrestling you still have to pay ~$100 an episode??? And pay for cable.

Eh. I dunno. Tyson is in his 50s, and has a much shorter reach than Jake Paul. As much as I’d prefer to see him win, I don’t think that Tyson is gonna pull this off.

Tyson boasts a career record of 50-6 with 44 victories via knockout.
he wasn’t exactly an average fighter, going up against some great fighters.
HelixDab2@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Paul is 9-1, the one loss being a split decision, and 6 of the wins being knockouts. He’s inexperienced, but that doesn’t mean he’s not good.
I want to see Tyson knock him out in under ten seconds. But I don’t think I’ll get my wish.

I hate Paul as much as anyone. I REALLY do! But…
He is a pretty competent boxer.
Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 6 months ago
His brother is a competent wrestler too I hear. I always skip his matches cause I refuse to watch that piece of shit

A lot of people really don’t want to hear this, sadly.
Both Paul brothers are solid boxers, Jake especially. I’m in no way against their current plan to have weird pro matches because people of their fame would always struggle to have a legitimate amateur career. Admittedly I have little experience of amateur boxing, but in MMA the promotion around these events is often sketchy at best, critically unsafe at worst.
IMO Jake Paul having 12-15 influencer fights is like having a bunch of amateur fights. He’ll probably only do a few and once he’s ready for a can boxer (perhaps a Tommy Fury rematch) we’ll see him retire. All in all, a fairly standard career for a professional fighter, which for a POS influencer is absolutely great.

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.

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.
EleventhHour@lemmy.world 6 months ago
This. He prolly knows he’ll get his ass put through a meat grinder, but it’s worth it for the clicks.

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

Why did everyone forgive Tyson for being a rapist and abuser?
shinratdr@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
They just made a convicted rapist and abuser president. People don’t care about women.
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 months ago
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.
anomnom@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
I still haven’t forgiven him for the ear biting.

Probably got debt to pay off
