People have such nostalgia for the name Mike Tyson that no one seems to care he was getting handily beaten by b-level fighters at the end of his career, or that his 2020 fight was a snoozefest that was sad to watch. Wish I'm wrong but he will probably lose to Paul in a depressing spectacle

Almost 60 and he has had serious injuries limiting his mobility and movement

Paul’s such a scumbag. That he’s picking boxing’s corpse clean like this is a horrible end to it all, and somehow so emblematic of the times. Ain’t gonna participate.

Money aside (very big aside), it's a lose-lose for paul - he either beats a nearly 60 year old man, or loses to one. Former isn't something to brag about, the latter just proves how bad he is

Jake Paul is probably on Trump's hiring list. I hope Tyson tears him a new one.

I'm honestly surprised he even has a career considering that he's a convicted rapist. www.indianapolismonthly.com/arts-and-cul...

after he was in the hangover and was able to somewhat reinvent himself as a wacky celebrity, he had a one man show that he toured with that was largely just him ranting about the woman he raped. great guy.

Both Pauls have, unfortunately, managed to find ways to make a lot of money off everyone’s desire to see them beaten to death

Godspeed You! Woke Moralists @dashwallkick.bsky.social

our one hope is that they are murdered by their desire to have everyone watch them get beaten up but there's basically no chance here, especially since Paul is pretty obviously doping up and taking it seriously

I don’t see what Paul gets out of this. He loses, haha you got beat up by a 58 yo. He wins, so what, you beat a guy more than twice your age.
