Have y'all seen the contract for this "fight"?

Paul can wear headgear. Tyson cant. Jake isnt blood testing. Mike is. Jake can also tag his brother in and they both can fight him. Jesus Christ. This is a mockery.


Link?

They are making crazy money on this. I saw the deal points on the PPV rights and it was 5M Paul and 15M Tyson + Backend. Allegedly, Netflix came in way over the top.

This is now a freaking joke.

Just read they will be wearing head gear.

Who wants to pay for a sparring match.

Tyson's style is impetuous. His defense is impregnable. He is the best ever. He is the most brutal and vicious and ruthless champion ever. He is Sonny Liston. He is Jack Dempsey. He gonna rip his heart out. He gonna eat his children.

Assuming Tyson comes in in shape he literally could kill him if he wanted to 57 isn’t ancient, his fist would still have lethal power. No way they will allow a real head shot


Tyson still looks good. I keep an eye out for him on YouTube. Short clips of him training fighters, he still moves really quick to set up the hook.

I don’t know if he could still go a full pro fight with 3 minute rounds and all. But he hits hard as hell.

Those videos are going at 1.5x speed to make Tyson appear quicker.

Supposedly the rules did come out and they’re wearing 14 or 18oz gloves instead of 8 or 10 and they’re wearing headgear bc it’s being sanctioned as a amateur fight bc they wouldn’t sanction Tyson as a professional at 58.

This may all be BS, but it’s going around bc ppl are apparently pissed about it. I guess we’ll get the truth before long.

I think if Paul makes it past the third round, he’ll win. I dont think his fights are fixed and neither does anyone who understands what they’re watching, but he has carefully picked his opponents. This one’s a bit of a gamble. Tyson certainly had a puncher’s chance especially early.
