The Tyson fight was promotional genius. One guy with no track record to speak of, and a 58 year old (I mean come on, that's beyond absurd to expect anyone that age no matter how fit for his age or how good in his prime could still box competitively), and yet look at the level of interest and the revenues

Those are the size of the gloves they had to wear. Likely made out of the same material too...

Sent her career through the stratosphere. Only 20 yrs old too. Feel like a dirty old man looking at her.

It was over before it started LOL. Tyson did a nice job of selling it though. Did people actually believe a 58 year old who had not fought in 19 years could beat even a mediocre boxer in the prime of his life? Apparently so.

I signed up to watch it, but I also wanted to see the movie "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" on Netflix. I figured for $6.00 it was a pretty good deal, much cheaper than going to the movies.

After I paid, I went to watch the fight but it wouldn't load for me. I was pretty disappointed but feel a little better knowing it was a terrible spectacle.

I'm not a woman's boxing fan. I don't hate it, but can take it or leave it. Women wrestling on the other hand, even as fake as it is........

I watched the Taylor / Serrano fight as as others mentioned, Serrano was robbed.

The Tyson fight was boring. What would you expect from a 20 something year old vs a 58 year old. However, I wish Tyson would have crushed him.

Well, I thought "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" was great anyways. So kudos.
