Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson - who's going to win?

Edward64 · 11-13-2024, 06:30 PM

Simple poll. Fight is this Fri 8pm ET on Netflix.

I'm rooting for Iron Mike just because I'd like to see someone shut down Paul. But know the odds are against Tyson.

Quote:

Their fight on Friday will be contested with two-minute rounds and with 14-ounce gloves. Heavyweight boxing matches are regularly contested at three-minute rounds with 10-ounce gloves.

Quote:

Boxing industry experts have estimated Tyson could make somewhere in the range of $20 million at various times since the event was announced last March. Jimmy Kimmel, when Tyson was a guest on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on ABC last month, alluded to the alleged price tag while speaking to the former heavyweight champion.
:
About the only unofficial clue about the fight's purse came from Paul at an Aug. 18 news conference promoting the fight.

"I'm here to make $40 million and knock out a legend," he said.

Of course I would love to see Tyson win, but he's just very old. Paul will work the body and wear him down.

I hate that this is going to be the biggest boxing event of the year.

Lathum · 11-13-2024, 07:21 PM

Both as they e hundred dollar bills falling from their pockets

NobodyHere · 11-13-2024, 07:23 PM

Is this even going to happen? I hear they're investigating Tyson's health. But I'm too lazy and don't care enough to actually google information.

Yes, per my googling today.

Proud of all my fellow Trout voters.

B & B · 11-13-2024, 10:46 PM

This is the biggest Netflix cash grab until............the two NFL games on Xmas.

Trash, trash and more fixed trash. Will not watch or gamble on such things as Jerry Springer events. Says quite a bit considering my annual action is seven figures easily.

Fraud Paul by KO putting a 20m price on Iron Mikes legacy. Shame.

JPhillips · 11-13-2024, 11:05 PM

Yeah the ads for it sure make it look as legit as wrestling.

albionmoonlight · 11-14-2024, 10:10 AM

My kids are excited. And we're gonna watch.

But I want to explain to them that this isn't really boxing.

It'd be like your kids' first basketball game being the Harlem Globetrotters.

Ironhead · 11-14-2024, 11:45 AM

Shouldn't have been sanctioned. But money wins in the end in all things.

Edward64 · 11-14-2024, 05:40 PM

Rooting for you Mikey. Shock the world.

Show them what a Gen X can do!

(BTW, don't have sex before the fight)

Atocep · 11-14-2024, 07:19 PM

Paul should win but the only other boxer Paul fought, he lost to and it's not like Tommy Fury is much more than an semi-professional fighter. So Tyson still likely comes at him with more skill, speed, and power than Paul has seen in the ring so far. He cries about not being taken seriously as a fighter and continues to schedule circus act fights.

sovereignstar v2 · 11-14-2024, 07:27 PM

Neither of these clowns deserve the time of day. Hopefully they both lose

Edward64 · Yesterday, 06:23 AM

Yeah, definitely fake ... but still fun to look at

Kodos · Yesterday, 09:46 AM

Dear Mike. Please just wear normal boxing shorts. Or Patriotic Undies. Your choice.

I think I agree with the "I hope they both lose" sentiment. Hard to root for a rapist or a social media influencer.

Kodos · Yesterday, 09:47 AM

On the other hand, it would be somewhat satisfying to see Tyson floor him with one good punch.

Edward64 · Yesterday, 10:12 PM

Watched the 2 undercards just fine but now Netflix is struggling

Just my luck

dubb93 · Yesterday, 10:14 PM

They are going to have to figure this out. Not going to get easier with Christmas Day Football and WWE Raw. What a complete fail from Netflix.

dubb93 · Yesterday, 10:15 PM

If this is the best they can do they are the streamer that needs to fail.

Edward64 · Yesterday, 10:16 PM

Good to know it’s not just me

albionmoonlight · Yesterday, 10:17 PM

How can you not anticipate this if you are Netflix?

albionmoonlight · Yesterday, 10:18 PM

And you know the NFL is going to be on the phone with them early tomorrow morning explaining what will and will not be acceptable on Christmas.

Edward64 · Yesterday, 10:25 PM

Lots of complaints in r/netflix

Should have done more performance testing & tuning. Don’t need the aggravation.

dubb93 · Yesterday, 10:29 PM

I mean the hot dog eating contest went well. Why would this need more bandwidth? —Some Netflix Exec, Probably

dubb93 · Yesterday, 10:37 PM

Sell all your Netflix stock

dubb93 · Yesterday, 10:38 PM

This is the biggest streaming debacle I’ve ever watched.

Solecismic · Yesterday, 10:44 PM

Maybe they should have sent out DVDs of the event.

I've never subscribed to Netflix. Won't start now, but they had to pay a fortune for this.

I mean, it's going better than that time Tucker Carlson interviewed Elon Musk on Twitter.

Netflix needs to use that middle out compression.

dubb93 · Yesterday, 10:50 PM

I just went from watching the entrances to more than halfway through the third round. Yay Netflix.

Honolulu_Blue · Yesterday, 10:51 PM

I have zero interest in this, but fired it up on my iPad to see. The picture is very rough. It was clear for an instant - when I saw Mike Tyson's bare ass - but the picture is ugly and keeps buffering.

Not great!

Ghost Econ · Yesterday, 10:54 PM

I like that the illegal Streameast stream is just people opening and closing their Netflix trying to get a stream to share.

Lathum · Yesterday, 10:56 PM

I’m not even getting it. I’m getting a woman’s undercard fight.

Honolulu_Blue · Yesterday, 10:58 PM

That’s what I saw, too. Mike Tyson was on screen for a quick pre-fight interview between rounds.

They probably should've given Netflix the Giants-Panthers German game to see if they can manage to not fuck it up. They have Chiefs-Steelers. Their servers haven't got a chance in hell.

Coffee Warlord · Yesterday, 11:42 PM

Well, I can definitely say Netflix isn't winning this fight.

RainMaker · Yesterday, 11:56 PM

Isn't Monday Night Raw going to be in Netflix soon? This is rough.

thesloppy · Today, 12:05 AM

What a fiasco

Coffee Warlord · Today, 12:29 AM

Came back up for me, just in time to watch a yawner.

Atocep · Today, 12:34 AM

Terrible fight. Should have never happened and it's just more reason to not take Paul seriously as a fighter.

Tyson from the waist up is still a dangerous fighter. But his legs and feet are just gone at 58. Paul was absolutely terrified of him the first 2 rounds.

Solecismic · Today, 12:48 AM

I'll give Paul credit for understanding, in the heat of the sideshow, that putting Tyson on the canvas would have been a mistake - even if the crowd would have loved it.

But I think he's taken this as far as it's going to go. If he wants to be a serious fighter, he's going to have to face appropriate competition and he's probably too old and too inexperienced to build a real career.

He deserves credit for figuring out how to make a lot of money at this, though.
