Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson

[GarethSouthgate]

I think it's funny anyone thought Tyson would win this. Nice payday for the old thug though.

I've not watched it yet but how did it compare to this:

 

[uscool]

Never was gonna watch this with the time it was on , don't think I'll even bother with the reply or highlights, just as expected scripted

 

[bimbleuk]

Funny no real interest in boxing usually but just happened to open X as the fight was starting. Apparently Netflix was having lots of issues streaming but I could watch the fight no issue on X.

Got bored after the 2nd round anyway.

as expected, waste of time. This wasn't a boxing match, it was a scripted boxing show.

They made their millions though so can't blame them for that.

Was it really as pathetic as one would think? Don’t think I’ll bother watching highlights.

it was embarassing watching tyson in the ring to be honest, and jake paul obviously holding back

 

[pooley]

It's his show though, created by him, with his fans, it's not real boxing, if he gets put down it's because he decides that's the way to make the most money.

That's why I don't accept that he's a professional boxer. Even though professional boxing is dirty, the Paul stuff is just a circus.

What I find the most egregious is that Jake Paul is on Box Rec, Clown show all round!

Tyson looked good for the 1st round and I thought he was gonna knock Jake out as Tyson looked much faster. But Tyson only had stamina for one round... after that first round he was cooked and looked like the old man that he is

 

[Kyo]

What a nonsense.
Tyson couldn’t move. How much did he get for this ?

Allegedly JP got $40 mill and Tyson got $20 mill.

Tyson looked good for the 1st round

Yeah, it was a shame he only landed one serious punch in the entire match, during the first round. The guy hardly moved, it was a bit of a sad display.

 

[China Man]

No a big fan in Boxing in general but after all the hype and build up to the fight I found the actual match really disappointing, The women's fight was so much better as they both gave it all...

I wonder how much they get paid

This nails it in the head for me.

Like it or not though, these are now becoming the biggest events of the year.

You're their exact/ideal market, unfortunately. They got paid $40 million and $20 million.

I meant the women, how much do they get paid in comparison to JP and Mike

$20 million

Taylor made $6m Serrano apparently more

Taylor made $6m Serrano apparently more

It's something like that. Serrano is one of Jake's mates, so she weirdly got more money, even though Katie was defending her title, again. But she signed the contract so her choice. I imagine there was a win purse too.

 

[Grim5]

$20 million

Which is like $10 million after taxes in the U.S

You can see why he took the fight, this fight apparently doubles his net worth

I'm surprised his net worth was only $10m

I wonder if he's still paying off debts from his past

 

[Mr Jack]

The guy's a rapist whose mum poured boiling water over the face of her partner in front of him and who bit a chunk out of an opponent's ear - what about him made you think he could manage his money?
