The only person who lacks dignity here is the guy challenging someone twice his age to a boxing match.
Nah they probably sat together and said.. we can make bank.. let's do this and give people a good show... And then they did the whole shebang and gave people a nice performance that cost next to nothing to produce and pocketed the rest. Pretty clever.
Jake Paul knows some people pay to see Tyson beat the anot out of him, others hate watch him and he has fans apparently.
It’s not clever at all. It’s blatantly transparent and only a moron would watch it.
There are quite a lot of us morons in the world. So many, in fact, that Netflix struggled to stream it to all of us. Clever or not, everyone involved got what they wanted.
Yeah, morons are endless.
Or people that don't know any of the drama and just wanted to see Tyson do something one last time. The uninformed do thoughtless shit all the time.
It definitely helped that it was on Netflix. That was the difference, at least for me. There is absolutely no way in hell I would've paid for a PPV of that, but given that my wife already has Netflix, it was more of an "eh, why not" type of thing.
Taylor vs Serrano was 100% worth it, that was rad.
The match was close despite the age difference and also the difference in the level of class both before and after the fight was staggering.
Jake Paul made a fool of himself.
I don't know if you watch boxing regularly or not, but that match wasn't close. Tyson won the first 2 rounds because he had enough energy to land a couple of good shots due to experience, but when he ran out of steam Jake just toyed with him until it went 8. Jake could have absolutely gotten a few knockdowns, but chose not to.
I say that having absolutely zero respect for the Paul brothers. They're both class A douchebags. Logan more than Paul in my opinion because of the suicide forest incident, but Jake won this fight unanimously and relatively easily.
The suicide forest didn't bother me as much as half the other shit Logan did.. I think what did it for me was buying a Gameboy Color for a street vendor, smashing it on camera, and then yelled at the vendor to get his money back in broken spanish because it was "Mucho Brokeno" as he put it.....
If by close you mean Mike just stood there like someone unplugged Player 2's controller while he wasn't look, yeah...
