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

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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

[-] simple@lemm.ee 38 points 1 year ago

Dude's almost 60 years old. I really don't understand the hype of watching someone fight a retired athlete.

[-] zigmus64@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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.

The cynic in me thinks this was staged to prime a rematch.. a money grab all round.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Why did that shitty influencer beat up the crazy guy from The Hangover?

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Tens of millions of dollars for each of them, that’s why

[-] Samsy@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

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 Did I miss historical content and have to search about it?

[-] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 17 points 1 year ago

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?

I'm guessing by the meme influx, Tyson got clobbered?

[-] Cignul9@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago

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…

[-] zigmus64@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

He wasn't fucking with his mouthpiece. He said in the post-fight interview "I have a biting fixation."

[-] zigmus64@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] dan1101@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

Yeah one thing older people lack is stamina. I figured if Tyson didn't take him out quickly he wasn't going to win.

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Mike should only fight against people he already beat, like his ex wife.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah he were. Paul gets his jollies from thumping on old weres
