As much as I'd love to watch Jake Paul having to spit out all of his stupid teeth, I'm not paying those people fucking money.

[–] Fuzzy_Red_Panda@lemm.ee 9 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Love the meme but hate the sport. The whole thing revolves around two people hurting each other and causing brain damage in the process. That’s not entertaining to me, that’s horrifying.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 49 minutes ago

I wouldn't worry because anybody that called this event "boxing" also hates the sport...

[–] CasualPenguin@reddthat.com 3 points 1 hour ago

They're both trump supporters, so don't feel, the brain damage was a pre existing condition

[–] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 9 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Well this just about aged like fine milk. Far from beating Jake to a pulp, Tyson threw just 18 punches the entire fight. Though I suppose it's inevitable when Tyson is more than double Jake's age and he retired years ago

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't this what basically half of people expected to happen? It was an exhibition, not a fight.

[–] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 3 points 1 hour ago

Oh, I'm not surprised at the outcome, I expected the almost 60 y/o man to lose to the under 30 y/o man, but was just surprised to see the stats on just how little Tyson actually did in the fight.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 49 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

I'm not watching it because I'm not a mark

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 hours ago

Hoooly shit is this happening?!

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

if Netflix charging extra for the fight?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (2 children)
[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Glad I canceled my subscription then.

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world -1 points 3 hours ago

Where are you gonna spend your -0 moral dollars?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 0 points 3 hours ago

so you either have Netflix or don't, how does watching it if you already have it make you a mark

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 44 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

Tbh, Jake has already lost. If he wins, people will say he beat up a 58yo man, former boxer or not. If he loses, he got beat up by a 58yo man.

Like, there's no way he can actually win in the square of public opinion, and I'm here for it.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 46 minutes ago

Pretty sure it's all about the millions of dollars both men will make. If losing is becoming richer by more money than I'll ever see in my life then I'll lose all day long.

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 13 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

He wins when he gets attention, and he will get that either way

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

100% just like anything to do with Jake Paul, this is about money, and the fact that we are all talking about it really only points to one outcome. He won and we lost.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 20 points 7 hours ago

Pretty sure he lost in the square of public opinion years ago, now he's just capitalizing on it.

[–] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Nah, Jake Paul getting facefisted is the only reason I'd watch this shit.

But this has shenanigans written all over it, so I'm not gonna give it my attention.

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 hours ago

Ah, bollocks...

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 29 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Even if you're anti-Paul, watching the fight is free press for him. Same as how Trump did it

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 10 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Watch a pirated stream and don't talk about it and it's fine really.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

You're right, it should have been pre-election and Trump instead of Paul. Now there's a fight I'd pay to watch

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Most of us are not watching the fight because Netflix is sucking a big tube steak tonight. I haven't seen this much buffering since dial up modems.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

I guess they created a hit event then! And cheaped out on their elastic servers.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 25 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

I’m here for both of those things. I only wish it was Mike Tyson in his prime so we could really see a total annihilation of this asswipe.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 28 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Paul wouldn't have challenged Tyson in his prime, his professional career is a sham.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar 2 points 5 hours ago

Exactly. I want to see him fight the current heavyweight champion.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

But wouldn’t you love to see it happen?

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Who would be the equivalent these days? They should challenge Paul!

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

They do all the time, he's not gonna take any fight where he can lose, especially if money isn't the number one motivator. The fact that this isn't common sense is worrying.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 7 hours ago

There is no equivalent to Iron Mike in his prime. GOAT

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Akimbo Slice in his prime vs Paul would be more glorious.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That dude legit scared me through the computer screen during his backyard brawling days. It scared me to know people like him existed. Did you see the fight where he burst a dude's eye, and fucking blinded him?

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

What's even scarier is that he got absolutely rolled when it came to pros.

You're not wrong, dude was champ in the non pro arena, and as soon as he stepped in it was just as shocking with different winners.

[–] henchman2019@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago

I'm not watching it cuz shitass Netflix won't stop buffering.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

George Foreman once described Mike Tyson as a "cross-town bus in boxing trunks".

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

That's a huge compliment coming from the hardest hitting boxer of his time. Foreman was a fucking beast in his era. The only reason Ali beat him is because Ali fought smart, and Foreman was the dope who got roped into it.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 17 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Oh we are definitely the same, friend. I want Jake Paul to look like extra pulp orange juice.

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 9 points 8 hours ago

Of course, I made the mistake of posting this exclusively on platforms where I hold the same opinions as everyone else.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

I want Tyson to work over Paul so hard that he talks like Tyson for the rest of his life.

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

To be fair unfortunately Jake Paul is probably going to win easily given age difference that fact he is a professional fighter even if not elite and Mikes long retirement.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 hours ago

I knew who the winner was as soon as I saw Mike walking to the ring. I was like "oh, damn"

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

¿Porque no los dos?

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

No, I want to see Iron Mike kick his ass too!!

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

What if I'm both? I love Mike Tyson, and can't stand the paul brothers.

Surprise to see Jake win, But Mike was good for his age!
