I haven’t seen much talk here about it. I’m pumped to watch, watching the Netflix build up. Tyson is obviously old at 58, so do we think this is rigged?
I wasn’t huge boxing fan until 20 years ago with Pavlik from Youngstown, so still kinda into it.
No way Tyson rigs a fight. He loves the sport too much. That being said, if it goes longer than 2-3 rounds he will lose.
Gotta be rigged but hoping he tears him up in round 1
Maybe not true but saw that Paul gets $40 million and Tyson $20 million
They are using sparring gloves. So Tyson’s best shot at a win (knockout early) is basically toast. Pretty fucking lame.

Yep, pretty much already rigged. Plus I'm pretty sure Paul has put rules/stipulations in that heavily favor him.
The Paul brothers come off as D-Bags but apparently they are really super nice guys. One of my co-workers knows one of their relatives and said "they come across as a-holes but they're really good kids and rich as Hell."
When Logan Paul joined WWE I was like "well this is a publicity stunt/money grab" but he's probably one of the top workers in the fed. Took to pro wrestling like a duck to water. Does some ridiculous high risk moves. My grandkid loves him because he's the "Prime Dude."

Did not know that. How the fuck is that a stipulation?

Probably so it could get licensed, considering Tyson is old and already had to postpone the bout once because of having health issues. Seem to recall hearing that certain stuff had to be put into writing just to get it licensed, so guessing that was one of them.
I haven’t paid a lot of attention in the past but I thought Paul’s thing was to only do fights he’d inevitably win/control.
I’ll try to watch, but my expectations are low.
Paul is an overwhelming favorite
Love or hate Paul he knows what he’s doing. People in my life who I wouldn’t have guessed knew boxing existed have told me they’re tuning in hoping he gets killed - which he absolutely won’t. And he’ll get an 8 figure paycheck out of crushed hopes. And do it again and again.
I’m 54 and I realize most people watching have little knowledge of how dominant Tyson was from the early 80s until Buster Douglas. That version of Tyson would probably literally kill Paul.
Tyson didn’t look good his last exhibition.. Jake paul can actually fight. I’m rooting for Tyson but my brain says Jake paul
Will either fighter lose today?
I bet on the draw +900 also several of the +5000 and +7000 bets just in case crazy things happen
AB is going live on X….might have to watch the fight that way

That should be hilarious commentary!
Tyson giving up 3 inches in height, 5 inches in reach
And 31 years

You among the 1000s who can’t watch it because Netflix wasn’t ready for this and it just buffers?

Since the main draw has started it’s pre stuff…it’s been a perfectly clear Netflix video
I’m waiting for it to go out for sure though. Maybe they spent $12 on the first fights and piled all their goodness into this 🤷🏻♂️
Looks old AF
The script might be right
