Is Anyone Actually Gonna Watch This???

I got part of the undercard, but only about a half minute of the main event. Spent the rest of the fight in endless buffer mode, not able to see anything but the promo screen.

I cancelled my Netflix subscription (which I'd had since 2012.) It reminded me of the frustrations when auctions were frequently crashing during the final hours. What an annoying waste of time. And from what I see online, the fight itself wasn't much, anyway.

I got the whole Main Event, though a couple rounds were a lower quality buffer. You didn’t miss anything. The whole fight was a buffer.

Just sad. Iron Mike is a shell of himself. If he was a horse they’d shoot him. Even his trunks are falling apart. Dude needs a walker. No spring in his legs. Can’t get off.

Neither one of them was a loser last night when taking into consideration what they both made from this debacle.

Tyson - estimated $20 mill
Paul - estimated $40 mill

Wow, that sure didn't go the way Tyson fans and Paul haters wanted.
What were people honestly expecting??? Tyson would magically become 24 again and murder Paul???
For anyone being realistic, the fight went EXACTLY as expected.

I give Tyson credit, just picked up 20 million for basically an exhibition match at age 58.

Good job Mike!!

Yes they both done great for themselves. I just never understood anyone giving Mike a chance. A 58 year old man competing in boxing with a 27 year old is insane.

Nostalgia and the fact Jake Paul isn't very good, is what deluded people into giving him a chance.

I honestly figured Jake would have easily KOed or at least TKOed him.

I done a lot of boxing when young(55 now) and have gone and sparred with the kids off and on since then. Once you hit that first of 2 big declines in life in your mid 40s you are done being able to fight with kids except for fun. Even with a ton of experience the speed difference is just too much to overcome in boxing in my experience.
