Comments Thread For: Those who helped Jake Paul-Mike Tyson happen are the problem, not those who watched it

Boxing is a very dirty business that is always taking advantage of people. Last I checked, all parties involved were willing participants. I've seen worse situations in this sport. Fighters showing clear signs of pugilistic dementia fighting in far worse mismatches. The Texas athletic commission is inept? No kidding, most are. Five years ago, Indiana's athletic commission sanctioned a 70 year old who last fought in 1983 to fight a 43 years old with 0-6 record (5 of those losses by KO).

This was a carnival side show as a main event, nothing more and nothing less. Celebrity boxing once treated us to Joey Buttafuoco versus Chyna. Any of the sports writers clutching pearls over this farce are no different than anyone else trying to use the event for their own benefit.

This boxing has always been WWE and fixing involved now someone like Jake Paul has rigged this boxing shyt for himself

He beat her pillar to post. It was pretty hard to watch. He threw sloppy arm punches and displayed no skill whatsoever but it was basically just a dirtball dude beating on a woman for three rounds. Joey seemed proud of himself in there.

The irony is that Buttafuoco was supposed to fight John Wayne Bobbitt but Bobbitt had to drop out after being arrested for....wait for it... domestic violence.

Damn , that must have been promoted by the National Enquirer.

Disappointing that this article is posted to take a shot at the president that most of us love, but perhaps this writer watches msm. You also insult Mike Tyson. Not on.

How is quoting him supposed to be " taking a shot". Unless you agree that he says a lot of dumb shlt.

Whichever commission sanctioned the heinous mismatch that was Danny Garcia vs Rod Salka, was ten times worse for the sport than Tyson–Paul. Friday's event was only ever meant to be a bit of fun, making everyone countless millions in the process, plus giving Tyson one last in-ring homage... whereas Garcia–Salka was promoted straight-faced as a serious boxing match, helped no-one, and sullied the reputation of all those involved.

It was a money grab, everybody got paid. When Jake asked Mike if he wanted to make some money? Mike started to salivate like Pavlovs dog.

Fools & their money will soon be parted & then the folks that parted the fools from their money can party! i daresay Mike & Jake are toasting each other in Dom Perignon, Coke & callgirls even as we type.

Yoooo I forgot about Buttafuoco vs Chyna!!

This fight reminds me why I did not like Mike Tyson post Evander Holyfield/Jail esp the post match comments took me back, the same attitude, indifference to his performance, self centred, so-what attitude, I don't give a **** about you attitude. The biting his gloves brought me back and reminded me Tyson was **** after Jail and always flat just like this one, you always hoped the next one Tyson would be KOed to end his career. So looking back it is funny seeing Gen Z and younger men put Tyson on a pedestal (I loved Tyson before jail like most boys), I think it is the podcast circuit that has helped him.

Those two damned clowns and the commentators built up something that was nothing more than an exhibition and even the world record will be broken in 4 days by Oliver McCall. Shame on everyone involved in making that fiasco. It was most likely in the contract that Paul agreed to not throw a single right hand with full power on it because of how bad of a stain that would have put on Boxing if Tyson was knocked out at his age in the ring with a sht for brains Paul. Pure shame from the whole thing.

The drug stuff in this story wasn’t really relevant imo
