Tyson v. Paul fight

[jberesford]

But it does more harm than good for a sport like boxing which already had issues and low popularity.

I dunno. Most people missed the main event anyways. A LOT of people that have never cared about boxing actually watched it. And enjoyed it. Watched the undercards out at the sister in laws house around a bunch of hillbilly hunting type buddies of theirs. None had any idea how fight cards work and that there was actually more than one match going on. I saw a group of people interested in something that resembles a ball game that went back and forth vs a melee that's over in 10 minutes like all this UFC shit that pushed boxing aside.

I lived boxing when I a kid. My dad had a descrambler he got from a dude at work so I got to watch all the pay per view at the peak of boxing. It was nostalgic watching and getting interested in it even if I didnt know who the fighters were. It makes me want to catch more boxing again. It'd be cool if that one event can be a catalyst for more boxing events.

How fitting this shitshow happened in the home of the Dallas Cowboys!

Hey Jerry.....bet the real reason Tyson couldn't get off was because the sun was in his eyes!

Seriously...one of the few times we got through the buffering was the interview with Jerry. I hope many others were also able to see his mug tied to this farse.

The streaming was so bad it never worked for us. On a phone, We watched a live stream of someone in the crowd. It kind of reminded me of 20 to 30 years ago when you really had to work to watch something and have a makeshift setup of half measures. Kind of made me nostalgic but mostly infuriated.

She’s super hot. If one were to google Sydney thomas one might find nudes. Not sure if they are real or fake.

 

[The-Dude-Abides]

So how much did they make?

I read that "boxing experts" have said Tyson $20M and Paul $40M.

That's some easy cash. Interesting that Paul got so much more. Thanks for the info.

I'm in the same boat. My Dad loved boxing. I got a punching bag when I was a kid (early 80s). Some nostalgia there. Boxing when done well is strategy and art. It's what ufc lacks.

I’m an old boxing fan. I do not really care for UFC. I’ve never gotten into it. For multiple reasons boxing lost my fandom and UFC didn’t capture it.

Classic!

 

[HawkMachine]

You need to fast foward

There wasn’t that option.

I ended up closing Netflix and went back in which gave me the option.

What a CLUSTER F.

Paul wants Connor in an MMA match next

 

[seminole97]

Can we collectively admit boxing is a thing of the past? It’s not as “brutal” enough to be entertaining anymore

 

[seminole97]

My brother saw G&R live in 2016 and said they were amazing, including Axl.

Keep in mind that was 8 years ago.

I saw G'n'R with Metallica in New Orleans when I was 16.
Our parents agreed to let four of us drive over there and spend the night in a hotel my friend's mom (travel nurse) had free.

I wouldn't dare **** with that memory by seeing them now.

Did Jake Paul swipe Mike's face tattoos? They look similar.

I'm afraid this is no longer physically possible for Axl in the 21st Century:

Faith No More was the opening act, and I actually took a brief nap in my seat (we were up high in the Superdome), because we had left first thing in the morning and hit Bourbon St.
Back then there were guys operating street carts selling 'Hurricanes' and not asking for IDs.
Haven't seen that in the trips I made back there since then (all post-Katrina, seems like Larry Flynt bought up most of Bourbon St).

G'n'R's 'show' was better than Metallica's, but Metallica's music came through muuuuch better.
Honestly, that vid you linked was about how crappy G'n'R sounded, but we were blasted, and had a blast.

It sounds rough, but in good way. And Axl's convulsive flailing and whirling around is entertaining.

 

[Uniformed_ReRe]

Metallica is a giant, well-oiled machine--always solid and professional. GnR was more like lightning in a bottle.

All the running around, pyrotechnics, etc. made for a great show. It was my first concert.

Because there wasn't an internet I didn't even realize why Metallica's show didn't have that stuff going on.
I didn't know Hetfield was burned three weeks earlier:

On August 8, 1992, during the performance at Montreal's Olympic Stadium; several songs into Metallica's set, during the song "Fade to Black",[5] frontman and rhythm guitarist James Hetfield was accidentally torched by pyrotechnics due to a miscommunication with the pyrotechnics director, forcing the band to cut their set short as Hetfield was rushed to the hospital.

Are the Paul’s involved in any business that isn’t a scam? His brother at least seems to love fleecing his fans. Prime garbage sports drink, NFT’s, and other bitcoin cons.

Elder abuse is pretty lucrative unfortunately.

I'd like to see Conor choke him out but I'm not down with another huge paycheck for Paul.

Just saw JP taking on Chavez Jr., if JCC has any pride he will train, make weight, pass the drug test, and not be swindled by any hoes.

Former champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is the right opponent for Jake Paul

Chavez's best day are in his rearview mirror, but this matchup is a big step up in competition for Paul.

Ugh...I think we already know JCC Jr. has no pride.

He has quit in the ring before a time or two. Hard to watch that...I grew up watching his Dad fight.
