Again. For the final time. You. Don’t. Understand. What. You. Are. Talking. About.
That’s a good thing. You can learn later on.

What or why would I refute anything you say? It’s obvious that you don’t really understand boxing, it’s level of corruption and how that exhibition was played out. You have already staggered with attempts to put words in my mouth/text twice that I didn’t mention anything even close to. I have no interest in going any further with somebody showing those traits.
As I said, you continue thinking what you like, but don’t contaminate other people’s thoughts with your nonsense.

You’re only saving grace is that you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about.

You keep telling yourself that. Tyson barely threw a punch.
Kid yourself all you want, but don’t try and contaminate the rest of the world with your nonsense.
Tyson reportedly interested in Turki Alalshikh’s offer, never got a reply from Jake Paul.

Never knew that, but I’m guessing he profits from his unlikeable traits, just from what I’ve seen online about him and how he markets himself.

As the sub states - It is just mildly infuriating. But to reply to that - I don’t want to get into a discussion about this, so I probably will just leave it here.
The States that governing bodies oversaw his fights are far more lenient than other places, CSAC, TDLR (Tyson fight his licence was expired and renewed in record time), OSAC and FSBC. Had he not the money and followers, most, or not one of his ‘fights’ would ever have gone ahead.
Other than the people whose jobs require it, I have never spoken to or heard a person that was involved in or heavily fanatical about boxing dare refer to him as a boxer. It is only the clueless ‘casual’ fans, his youtube followers, the marketers and the people that work for them. JFH exhibition bouts were called exactly that, and are not to be confused with his professional career. Jake Paul has only ever had exhibition fights afaik. There is so much more to look at and talk about, but money talks. I just feel extremely sorry for all of the pro boxers that will never get a fair ranking despite being able to (without question) run rings around him without having to train too hard for the fight.
He is a professional exhibitionist or a professional exhibition fighter at best.
I couldn’t name one other single person who has fought most of their professional career against basketballers, UFC, retirees and other non professional boxers that are allowed to call themselves ‘professional boxers’. It brings the already struggling sport into further disrepute. The fixing has now gone mainstream. The Netflix goons talking about the good it’s doing for boxing when it is doing the opposite…
Okay, okay… I am starting to get a little more into this ‘mildly infuriating’ topic than planned. I will leave it there, with plenty more that could be said.

Tyson was definitely fixed.

I guess a wikipedia volunteer decided to classify him as that, and maybe another agreed.
-
No idea. I guess it would entail trying to prove that he setup, paid and that the fights were mostly scripted.
He has only has 13 fights, hopefully the Joshua fight will finally show him up. ‘win’ or lose.

- Comment on Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards 2 months ago:
One of the main points about chat control is that it forces software developers to break their own encryption or face whatever the penalties will be. It is ridiculous and will hopefully be stopped in it’s tracks, unfortunately not enough people know about it, and even of the ones that do, not enough of them understand what it is and how dangerous it is. Basically, the governments have seen how lucrative it has been for the big techs, and how advantageous it can be to control our data. They have seen what the Israeli’s have been able to do with that information and tech. They want in. It has nothing to do with child protection. If it passes, all politicians better be squeakier and cleaner than squeaky clean. With their data not being scanned, we will likely have to watch them ourselves.

Watch the insurance payouts drop dramatically if these go through. Access to all of your medical history… Insane. Still nothing compared to the proposed EU Chat Control.

- Comment on Bands pull out from festival after group 'cut off' over Palestine flag 3 months ago:
It doesn’t matter if enough artists make a stand. It should turn those festivals to beige shit pretty quickly… Even the people you speak of wouldn’t want to attend.
It’s really all down to the artists and whether or not they want to help the genocide supporters profit.
- Comment on Bands pull out from festival after group 'cut off' over Palestine flag 3 months ago:
Expect festivals to become either a lot tamer and the bands to get in line, or expect a revolt by the artists. These guys could pretty much crush most artists off the live festival circuit. Most of the festivals are pretty small, but they also own Sziget, which is one of the biggest if not the biggest festival in Europe. There has already been a few boycotts for these.
KKR & Co. bought superstruct entertainment, who own and organise this festival with a few others last year for €1.3bn

Many artists backing out of music festivals snapped up by private equity firm KKR
Many Dutch artists are pulling out of festivals owned by the private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR). They don’t agree with the American venture capitalist’s investments, including in companies active in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. They also seem concerned about private equity invading festivals, forcing up ticket prices and food prices, and destroying the vibe.
KKR owns multiple Dutch festivals. DGTL, Mysteryland, Amsterdam Open Air, and Zwarte Cross are among the Dutch festivals that have distanced themselves from their owner in recent days, NOS reports.
The venture capitalist also bought up the British festival organizer Supertruct Entertainment last year. The company owns and operates over 80 festivals in ten countries, including Awakenings and Defqon.1 in the Netherlands, Sziget in Budapest, and Sónar in Barcelona.

- Comment on Australia Completely Loses The Plot, Plans To Ban Kids From Watching YouTube 4 months ago:
Mike Masnick writes with his agenda clear.
The anger-driven drivel is ironic given how many times he refers to Australia as stupid. It’s possibly the worst, most single sided article I’ve read in a long time, if not ever.
Taking one perspective and running with it, even his single sightedness is narrow from the side he sits on.
I presume he named the publication after the way he posts his agenda… Pure dirt.
Not a single mention of privacy issues other than age verification systems, which is fucking laughable. Fuck off Masnick with your bullshit.
