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

It's so funny because as many people want to analyze this back and forth, the two folks that don't give a **** and are smiling with 20 million a piece in their bank accounts won here.

I think people are over analyzing it. It was a simple money grab for Mike and Paul, with Netflix co-signing it. They (Netflix) wanted a mega match to get folks to believe they can stream sporting events and maybe become the go to place for that. This alone was worth the payout Netflix was willing to shell out. I'm not entirely sure it was a good look however with the streaming issues encountered. It remains to be seen. I'm sure they understand now that depending the magnitude of the event, they need to adjust their servers accordingly.

Due to the circumstances involved, Netflix, Tyson, JP whose been a pretty good villain, it was the perfect marriage to make it happen. I highly doubt you would convince Netflix to put out that kind of money again in the future, regardless of who JP picks as his next money making opponent.

He won't break the record for the former undisputed HW champ. And McCall was Champ for one year. He actually lost the belt to Frank Bruno in 1995. The crying was in the Lewis rematch of 1997.

He broke the record as the oldest former heavyweight champ to win a fight on Tuesday. He fought Lewis in a chance to win the title and cried that opportunity away.

Bruno's kinda underrated these days. He was alright.

Actually the age record for a former Heavyweight Champion. I still don't know why after knocking out Lewis, he stood in the ring and cried and gave his title away in the rematch. He might have lost the rematch anyway but he cried it away.

I guess it depends on which record we're talking about. McCall will only break the age record. I thought you were speaking in terms of spectacle.

World records don't care who you are. McCall is factually breaking Tyson's record tomorrow if it's approved as it appears and as planned. Fight News: Tyson’s new record will last exactly 4 days.

This Tuesday night, November 19, 59-year-old former WBC heavywelght champion Oliver “The Atomic Bull” McCall (59-14, 38 KOs) takes on Stacy Frazier (16-22, 15 KOs) in an officially sanctioned four round bout at the Troubadour Theater in Nashville Tennessee. The McCall-Frazier fight, presented on promoter Jimmy Adams’ CountryBox series, will stream on Triller TV.

It is 100% not on those who made it. It is all on those who over hype Tyson especially at 58 yrs old and got excited over his 20 second training clips. Crazy that there are loads of those idiots still claiming it was a set up so Tyson doesn't hurt the youtuber when in reality it more fixed so that the youtuber does not hurt Tyson

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.

I didn't watch it but I'm seeing multiple clips where it looks like Tyson pulled his punches to avoid knocking out Paul.

That is disgusting. I’m glad Triller tried to do become a player but instead became like the off brand of the off brand of boxing. Two degrees…I’ve heard people like Kovalev years ago fell into a legal dispute because they were failing to pay him according to the contracts.

Overall shady and they stagnated rapidly. Came out blazing with the early Jake Paul cards and concerts in between…but they realized quick how deep in the red you get with these cards and why very few en****** succeed.

[TintaBoricua]

Yeah, and sanctioned which is so crazy.

Holy schnikes…

That is way too up there to be fighting.
