        Who the fook is Reykon? He can't be THAT much of a icon if I never heard of him.

              Aside from the error in the article that Tarver was a top heavyweight, actually he was the best light heavyweight for a while, this card is an eye opener.

              Why? Because who would've thought we'd see Tarver on the undercard of a youtuber, what boxing has become. Still, if there's a market, can't blame them.

                It's not what boxing has become, it's what the world has become. Jake Paul has a massive YouTube fan base, if he was around during Ali's day, with that same fan base, and money making potential, they would have had him on there too. It's all about making money for the promoters/networks, ultimately.

                    I guess we are old and don't listen to reggaeton? He has a few music vids with upwards of 100 mil views looks like. Is that even impressive in this day and age though? I'm not even sure. I'm wondering how youtube views compare to say older metrics like going gold/platinum/diamond.
