What a letdown from stream quality, to judge rigging, to an extremely disappointing main card.

But seriously i have one question for Netflix. WHO THE FUCK DID ROSIE PEREZ SLEEP WITH?

Ya, Rosie Perez as one of the commentators? Whole thing was a clown show start to finish that accidentally had a great fight there in middle.

All "pro" sports are fake like this if your paying attention, this event was just sloppy and it was easy to see the frayed seams.

If you watch NFL/NBA/NHL and think that shit is legit, when there is billions upon billions of dollars at stake &the power of influencing billions of people through "stars", well I know a couple landmarks I could sell ya cheap.

Go watch some local amateur boxing/MMA, far better experience, and you can actually watch old guys that can actually fight too if thats your thing.

I get all of my fill of hockey watching it the way it should be, in a cold assed arena, watching real players play the game, without all the extra horseshit. Pure.

Instead of staying at the house, I went out to my local bar to watch it with some people. Bdubs is the only place that could "legally" play the fight, so it had like no advertising at every establishment. But tons of places played it regardless. I got up and left within the first round of the main card. Just fucking sad.

People keep saying that. What's 'a work' mean in boxing terms?



Same bud. Did your dad hate mike tyson too?



How was your stream? Did you miss all of round 6 too?

For this fight specifically the 'work' was in the contract for the fight and how the payouts were structured. Keep in mind this isn't a public contract, but all the insider people with 'intimate knowledge' and what not have painted pretty much the same picture - the payout was structured in such a way that if the fight didn't go for a 'substantial duration', meaning probably at least 5-6 rounds, Tyson's payout was nearly nothing. Meaning his only real avenue to victory given the age/endurance gap, early hyper-aggression and a swift KO, isn't really on the table for him if he wants to get paid.

He was also just 58 years old and his knees were about to explode every time he tried to shuffle his feet.

Sad thing is you need Logan Paul's brother to get zoomers to pay attention to boxing

Nephew wanted to watch it but thought it was UFC. When we explained it was boxing and boxing was just punching and he seemed confused lol

How could any of you not see this was fake from the jump? Tyson hadn't had a real fight after prison. He looked like shit 20 years ago. Paul has never had a real fight. Is he even a sanctioned boxer?

More great takes. He regained titles after he came back from prison.

Sometimes I get the urge to go watch that fight again.

Takayama had a wild life. Had a stroke after 1 pro-wrestling match, and then years later he destroyed his neck in another pro-wrestling match and ended up as a quadriplegic. He will legit never walk again. But I don't think he ever got a serious injury in his MMA fights.

Don Frye visited him in the hospital in Japan, I think, and he has nothing but the utmost respect for Takayama.

Don's health is also a fucking trainwreck. I honestly don't know how he walks anymore. I think at one point they put metal rods in his back, and then he broke one and walked around for years before anyone realized it was broken.



Don Frye is also fucking hilarious. Reminds me of some of the old crusty senior NCOs we had

I had to re-evaluate the fight after this tweet; I had no idea that he nearly died, lost 25 lbs, have to have 8 transfusions. Now I don't believe its a work, I think he is just not recovered. Or rather, it may still be a work but only to get through the fight because he wasn't ready to fight and may never will be. He just couldn't fight a real fight, by the time he could he would be nearly 60 and Jake got to do a face turn by taking it easy on him. Easy money for everyone; also explains why his legs were dead after round 1.
