Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson Blasts 'Jealous' Critics Opposed to Jake Paul Fight

[sleazyfellow]

It's so sad this is even an event. Mike was a hero of mine as a kid but this is clearly some pre arranged phoney fooey!!!

[Lance98]

Tyson is the one saying this will be a real fight first of all, so every critic I know is not jealous, they just fear tyson tarnishing his own legacy should he get ko'ed by this rookie, and there is always a chance of that happening as jake has power and tyson is not the same guy he used to be, plus he is damn near 60 yrs old.

Ok Mike we hear ya but be careful. Jus sayin

[Eff Pandas]

Theres definitely some truth to what Mike is saying. If a lot of these guys fought the fights ppl wanna see ppl would be paying them bigger money for bigger fights & there would be less desire for fans to wanna see novelty fights like Tyson vs Paul.

Boxers gotta quit playing around & realize this is an asses in seats, PPV buys & eyes on the screen business more than a sport. Mike's style was built for that business & his words/actions fit right in & hes getting dividends from that today while a lot of these guys would have to suck Diddy's **** for $10M cuz they'd never get it in a fight cuz ppl dgaf about them enough.

Jealous of what? The willingness to sacrifice one's dignity in bogus events for money?

[BodyBagz]

Fools and their money

Operative word being their

now where have i heard this jealous angle before, oh i know


Tyson is set to pocket a huge sum of money for his exhibition against Jones Jr.

Iron' Mike claims he won't receive a penny for his boxing comeback, insisting his purse will be donated to charity.

"It's going to be for various charities," he told TMZ Sports.

"Nobody has to ever worry about me getting rich, or getting jealous, or saying I'm doing [the comeback] for money.

"I'm not getting anything. I just feel good doing this because I can."

I never drew millions myself, so I guess I'm just jealous too.

Or, y'all exploiting a tard, convincing a man who didn't have the best faculties in his prime to fight near his ****ing 60s because he's a tard-beast everyone loves to see and will make a lot of money = tard exploitation.

But since I never drew millions and Mike is a bit tardy to the party, I must be jealous.

You sound jealous

I think he got paid to take it easy on Jake Paul and make him look good.
