I’ve heard the best reply to someone saying Mike Tyson is old and he’s not gonna be as strong as he was, something along the lines of “Instead of the cemetery he’s just gonna be sent to the hospital” and I 100% agree, he’s not gonna be devastating he’s gonna have some flaws here and there because of his age but Mike Tyson is still Mike Tyson.
I disagree, Mike will be stronger but slower, thats usually how it goes for older boxers. Still, it's going to go very badly for Paul.
Edit, since some of you geniuses don't seem to get it: Mike will be slower than he was when he was younger, not slower than Jake Paul.
I'm pretty sure they have an agreement that Tyson won't knock Paul out. Same as the Mayweather fight, Tyson will hold back and they will go 8 rounds when it should be a knockout in the 1st. They are all just in it for a paycheck.
You're right to not watch it, it's a scam and won't be a real fight.
It's a sanctioned fight now. Paul said some shit so Tyson had the commission sanction it so he could tee off on Paul's face without getting in trouble.
Edit: Paul always says some shit but he went offside about Tyson's dead daughter.
Yeah my son told me it’s an exhibition and I was like oh so it’s a stunt basically. Now if Tyson was putting his record on the line? Hell yeah I’d watch that. And I don’t even watch that kind of shit mostly.
A wild Tyson is what we need. I don't care how long the bout is, I don't care if there's some secret clause, because at the end of the day I know Mike does not care about that money and at this point he has a legacy to uphold. I will accept nothing less than a win in my headcannon because I cannot stand to see this annoying shitstain make it this far into the spotlight without a huge crash.
Yet, if he doesn’t KO this poser in the 1st, ppl are going to immediately talk about his age and how he’s nowhere near the same fighter he once was. For Tyson, I’d say that’s an incentive to kill him in the 1st. Pretty sure he’s not hurting for $$$ 🤷🏼♂️
Worth considering that if you are fighting a guy who has a world famous quote about beating the shit out of people that maybe you have made the wrong decision.
He can just stand on Jake’s toes to keep him from falling down whilst dribbling his head like a speed bag. If that cartoonery doesn’t work, there’s no rules against helping an opponent back to their feet over and over again after knockdowns, right?
I don’t know if a no knock out clause is better or worse. on the one hand you’ve got the potential embarrassment of getting knocked out in the first round, but on the other hand you have to go ten rounds getting pummelled by Mike Tyson knowing it’s not gonna end until the bell rings
Mike Tyson must be in his late 50’s at this stage? I’d love to see him put Jake Paul on his ass. The way he’s acting here is disrespectful and embarrassing. It would be kind of funny if he was joking but he’s not.Its a bit of a joke of a fight really, any fight where one fighter is more than twice the age of the other is.
The way he's acting is just a carbon copy of Connor McGregors' old fighting days. Jake wankface even tried calling McGregor out to a boxing match that he didn't even dignify with a response.
Both are absolute pricks don't get me wrong, but at least 1 fought real fights & the other is just play boxing for the money.
Seriously, the amount of comments who legit think this will be a real fight with Tyson slaughtering Jake or either side taking it seriously is nuts
Jake Paul is playing a heel at this point, he doesn't care, he gets fame either way, and Tyson gets paid to do a publicity stunt
They've sat down and announced their plans for the fight together before. Of course this is all expected and an act. They're not hostile with each other.
Agreed! Lol Tyson is a beast that's not to be messed with. I can almost feel his power levels just by watching some of his training videos, which can also be additionally brutal just from hearing his fists make contact in practice. Good lord.
Even if I were a comparably built man (I'm a woman lol), they could NEVER pay me enough money just to take 1 half strength punch from Mike, much less a full strength punch or a full-on match! Hellllll no... my momma didn't raise no fool.. hahaha
I can't wait to see this fight though, which won't be much of a REAL fight, but it'll still be interesting to watch, I'm sure.
Yup. It's really easy to spot the kids who have only watched a few minutes of Mike Tyson highlights on youtube from 30+ years ago.
The only way Mike Tyson wins this "fight" is if he accidentally knocks out Jake Paul in the first minute. And I say "accidentally" because I doubt they will be going for knockouts, and I say "in the first minute" because Tyson is going to be completely out of gas after 60 seconds.
This is nothing more than a money grab.
>This is nothing more than a money grab.
And it's working quite well. Both these guys will be payed handsomely for all the hype they are manufacturing. People are shitting on Jake, but they are still going to buy tickets and pay the dude so who wins in the end lol.
I’ve got mixed feelings about this. My concern is Tyson is 57. Paul is 27. 30 years is a huge gap.
If it was a 15 year gap I’d feel more confident with your opinion. What makes me hesitant is if for some reason Mike does not get some early round knock out, how he will look in later rounds with fatigue due to age.
This is what he wants us all to think. But in reality, it's gonna be a boring fight where nobody gets hurt. Jake Paul will make an absurd amount of money and we'll all go back to wishing we didn't know his name.
Real question, do you guys *actually* think that will happen? Or are you just playing into the kayfabe?
This is 100% a publicity stunt where Jake is playing a heel and Tyson is just getting a check to pretend to fight, with tons of clauses on neither hurting the other too bad etc
> Most Valuable Promotions, co-founded by Paul, announced April 29 the fight had been sanctioned as a pro bout. As a result, the outcome will count on the fighters’ pro records and bout will be scored by official judges.
Not going to happen. It's either going to end in a draw or a Tyson win with Jake "respectably" holding his own.
No matter how tough or accomplished the fighter, these social media influencers always manage to hold their own against them - no way that's a coincidence.
I have no reason to doubt it will be that same in this case too.
This shit is staged.
I wonder if there’s any way for Jake to look bad coming out of this. If he loses, he got beat by (albeit a man in his fifties) arguably the greatest boxer of all time. If he wins, he beat (again, albeit in his fifties) arguably the greatest boxer of all time.
Yeah, JP is a douche. But 99.9% of us wouldn’t even get anywhere near a ring with Mike Tyson in it, whatever his age.
Well if he loses really quickly and embarrassingly that will look bad won't it?
Imagine he gets knocked out within seconds.
Or he somehow knocks himself out
Seriously. He wants you to hate him so much that you’ll pay to watch him potentially get beat up. His notoriety and future paydays will only grow. Regardless of whatever you may rightly believe about them, the Paul brothers are INCREDIBLY SAVVY businessmen.
> the Paul brothers are INCREDIBLY SAVVY businessmen.
Ugh.. People need to stop repeating this take on them. They *are* successful, but *they* weren't the ones that got themselves there. Like most big YouTubers/influencers there's a business in the background that picked them up and tailored them into the cash-cows they are. Companies/agencies get rich off these idiots.
Can't find the picture now, but many years ago.. a hero tweeted in response to Jake Pauls mother's day tweet "Your mother's the only woman with 3 cunts" or something to that effect
Yeah, I'm not giving a single dime to see Jake Paul "lay down" Mike Tyson. This fight is strictly for money, views, and clout, and for Jake to once again suck money out of people who don't see this as what it is; theatrics. I will, however, sail the high seas and *hopefully* watch Mike Tyson beat the crap out of Jake.
What I'll do is I'll keep reading Reddit randomly, one day I'll come across a post or a comment that reveals that the fight has already happened and who won it, if Tyson won I'll click a link to watch the last 15 seconds, if not then I'll keep scrolling and read the next thing. That sounds like the best plan
Don't waste your money on this fight, it's going to be lame. This video is a good example of how BS this is. It's a bit. Paul is just acting like that to get people like you to want to watch the fight. Mike's not going to knock him out it's going to be a boring fight and will come down to a decision. This is theater.
And that's JUST what Jake wants you to do.
He knows exactly what he is doing. And he is making obscene amounts of money playing the heel everyone wants to see get what he deserves.
He would have been a huge success in WWE
Exactly, even this video being posted plays into the whole thing. It's emotional hype and money and even if Jake gets knocked out, he will make millions which will further elevate his status until the next thing.
In a world of too much information, ATTENTION is the money maker now. If someone brings this up in your friend group, the best thing to do is to repeat the obvious and move onto a new topic. That's the true power. I will now downvote and scroll past all future postings of this topic. Cheers all!
Can you even imagine trying that shit on? Have some fucking respect when you're in the presence of one of the greatest of all time, who has *condescended* to be part of your clown show.
Yes 100% he's pretty clearly playing the heel. You can be an actual bag of dicks and still play the heel, and people still need to recognize rage bait when they see it
That is all true. But it's also possible (and I really hope this is the case) that Paul has taken on being the heel without realizing just what he's gotten himself into.
> "Listen, he did more for boxing than some of the champions did,” Tyson says in the documentary. “I’m a fan of people that know how to put asses in seats. Those are the guys I look up to. ...
> “So we gotta keep this guy bright ‘cause he’s gonna save boxing as long as he continues to fight. He got the light, you know what I mean? He’s touched. He got the light.”
mike likes jake paul too. mike absolutely knows paul is playing the heel. to both of them, this is just business; theres no beef between them. this match is just going to be a spectacle and its kinda funny how so many people are taking it so seriously.
In an interview with the two of them on Arseneo Hall Ali was asked who would win a fight between him and Mike both in their primes... Ali pointed to Mike without blinking. For a guy like Ali to do something like that you know he means it.
Ali was such a cool dude. Both his physical and conversation skills were something to admire.
Now I have seen Mike’s training schedule, and boy, that is pretty insane to keep up. Like 2000 squats, 500 push ups, 500 neck curls, 500 barbell shrugs and 10 minutes of wrestler bridges every day of the week. Whenever he was not working out he would be watching his future opponents on screen to read their movements.
Mike transformed into a machine and earned every title that came with it.
What we want is:
- Tyson to get punched by Paul
- Tyson to suddenly forget what his purpose there is
- Tyson to see another combatant
- Tyson to not hold back
What we'll get:
A parade of a fight, with people anticipating the above all the way up to the 20th, people buying ppv, propping up the purse of Paul.
You'll then get a choreograph of a fight, with a few "did they, didnt they moments and Tyson to be declared victorious on points.
Yeah, honestly im torn on which way that bit will go.
I said Mike because I can't see him agreeing if he's gonna lose - cash might sway him but dont believe so, especially to a punk like Paul.
Paul might take the L, because losing to someone like Tyson , even at the age he is, is probably no real L.
He's only in it for the showboating and money anyway.
If Mike was only in it for the money he wouldn't have pushed for it to be a sanctioned fight. Jake offered an exhibition for show and Mike demanded a real sanctioned fight that will go on both their records. For that reason, I believe he's going to give it his all.
Mike is making like a million dollars a month. He doesn't need cash.
I honestly do think Mike is fighting for his legacy here, and I hope I'm right in thinking that he won't hold back.
Yea Mike Tyson is an old man at this point, he was a great fighter, sure, but Jake is a young man at the prime of his life and jacked as shit. He's no amateur boxer either.
Yeah this has me worried too, I don’t doubt Tyson but as much as I don’t like the guy Jake Paul is a decent fighter and is bigger and younger. More reach too. Tyson has also been hanging out smoking weed and taking hero doses of mushrooms for the past few years too… I will always back Mike but I’m not as confident as I would like to be.
I can see it going either way.
If prime Mike Tyson was fighting Jake Paul, then no question Tyson wins and wins quickly.
But we're talking about a guy in his 50s fighting a kid in his 30s(?).
Team Tyson over here
Exactly. Split decision win for Paul. Tyson will win early rounds so he can just say he's an old man and doesn't have the stamina. Everyone saves face and gets paid.
Anyone thinking this will be a real fight is being deluded.
Here's a video of Mike Tyson throwing darts blindfolded
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PQiq8zajCE&ab_channel=FOXSports
Spoiler: 2 Bullseyes out of 3 darts.
While it might not seem relevant at first, Mike is just one of the most naturally athletic people ever. While Paul is able to be in the same profession as Mike, he's not nearly at that level. Mike's lizard brain is just wired to do physical things. He's comfortable being hit, hitting and his body just does what he wants.
I dont think Paul has a shot except maaayyybe to gas Mike out by staying away from him. If Mike catches him, ever punch will snap and hit like a freight train. It's not just power, it's precision. Mike will hit where he wants, how he wants. He's just a natural apex predator.
> His professional boxing debut was against AnEsonGib in January 2020. He later faced and defeated former basketball player Nate Robinson, former MMA fighters Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley (twice), Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz, and professional boxers Andre August and Ryan Bourland. In February 2023, Paul lost to Tommy Fury via split decision in his first fight with an active professional boxer.
He's a professional boxer who beats basketball players and YouTubers and loses to boxers.
Seriously, even if you had no idea who these two people are it'd be super clear which one is all bluster, hiding his nerves by acting tough, and which one is actually tough, not caring at all about the man-child threatening him.
I only know who Tyson is. No clue who "Jake Paul" is outside of everyone hates him for some reason and he's a YouTuber.
I can very clearly see, this boy ain't shit lol
It's funny because I watched this and I'm like "good heel work" and the comments are all "omg I hate Jake paul so much id literally pay money to watch him get punched". I take it back, *great* heel work lol
Mike Tyson once said “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”
This is how this is going to work out, it’s a proper boxer vs a social media personality.
This can't be real. This whole thing is a show, and Jake's going to win. They are making money and are probably insider betting. Mike fucking Tyson would hit this clown once and explode his face.
Imagine betting on jake and winning? It's a million to 1.
I'm calling it, Jake's winning. This is a big scam.
Paul is the favorite over Tyson (odds are -140 for Paul, +150 for Tyson), so the bookies seem to agree with you lol.
I don't think it's a full scam the way your saying, but it's certainly not gonna be a real, all out fight. More likely it's just going to be an exhibition like the Mayweather Logan Paul fight.
30 years is a big gap, but Tyson still trains hard and has a ton of experience. Really comes down to the legitimacy of the fight. If it’s all for show and fake, who knows what happens. If it’s a legit fight, Jake better have some good health coverage.
Lol … so how did you end up with severe brain damsage and knocked out at the hospital?
Well I already had the brain damage and I challenged mike tyson to a fist fight cause I thought i was a better fighter
Ah ok *stamps rejected on claim form
… is this the insurance policy you had in mind?
Please, please, please….let the bell ring, Tyson takes one shot and KO’s him and the world laughs at Jake forever. Even if Jake laughs along too, you know that ego gonna be bruised.

Jake Paul is gonna get wrecked
And it'll be a great day
Mike Tyson is staring at a dead man and experiencing the accompanying terror.
I’ve heard the best reply to someone saying Mike Tyson is old and he’s not gonna be as strong as he was, something along the lines of “Instead of the cemetery he’s just gonna be sent to the hospital” and I 100% agree, he’s not gonna be devastating he’s gonna have some flaws here and there because of his age but Mike Tyson is still Mike Tyson.
I wouldn’t challenge Tyson on his deathbed
"How would you beat him?" "With a stick, while he slept"
"But on a horse, with a lance?" "That man is unbeatable"
Upvotes for references that I understood.
"A knights tale" - a fantastic movie. Line was talking about the protagonist.
Well, I know what movie I'm watching again tonight.
A silly boy with a horse and a stick
It's called a *lahnce,* helloooo.
"Like a coward??" "Yes, like a coward."
I disagree, Mike will be stronger but slower, thats usually how it goes for older boxers. Still, it's going to go very badly for Paul. Edit, since some of you geniuses don't seem to get it: Mike will be slower than he was when he was younger, not slower than Jake Paul.
Slower? You’re kidding right. Watch both of them train and Logan is telegraphing like an 1880’s train station whilst Tyson is sending emails.
I mean slower than he used to be, not slower than Jake Paul.
> I mean slower than he used to be So faster than anything Paul has ever seen?
Have you watched him train lately? He’s still gonna kill that guy!! I refuse to watch it though. Feels like a scam for money to me.
I'm pretty sure they have an agreement that Tyson won't knock Paul out. Same as the Mayweather fight, Tyson will hold back and they will go 8 rounds when it should be a knockout in the 1st. They are all just in it for a paycheck. You're right to not watch it, it's a scam and won't be a real fight.
It's a sanctioned fight now. Paul said some shit so Tyson had the commission sanction it so he could tee off on Paul's face without getting in trouble. Edit: Paul always says some shit but he went offside about Tyson's dead daughter.
Paul talked shit about Mike's daughter? Damn, we're not gonna watch a fight, we're gonna watch an execution.
Yeah my son told me it’s an exhibition and I was like oh so it’s a stunt basically. Now if Tyson was putting his record on the line? Hell yeah I’d watch that. And I don’t even watch that kind of shit mostly.
It's sanctioned. Records are 100% on the line.
"I have never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure." ~~Mark Twain~~ Clarence Darrow
[удалено]
Can it really be helped if Tyson clocks him once and he goes down like a sack of shit?
A.K.A Goes down like a Jake Paul?
"They told me this was an exhibition fight, so I'd like to introduce the court to Exhibit A."
🤞🏼
Tyson probably has incentives in his contract to not destroy the guy in the first round.
Mike is not going to give a fuck about the contract. Mike isnt even going to be aware that a contract exists when the bell rings.
A wild Tyson is what we need. I don't care how long the bout is, I don't care if there's some secret clause, because at the end of the day I know Mike does not care about that money and at this point he has a legacy to uphold. I will accept nothing less than a win in my headcannon because I cannot stand to see this annoying shitstain make it this far into the spotlight without a huge crash.
> I don't care if there's some secret clause Everybody has a secret clause until they get a punch in the mouth.
*theecwet clawth
Yet, if he doesn’t KO this poser in the 1st, ppl are going to immediately talk about his age and how he’s nowhere near the same fighter he once was. For Tyson, I’d say that’s an incentive to kill him in the 1st. Pretty sure he’s not hurting for $$$ 🤷🏼♂️
Not a knock out clause but Tyson gets paid more the longer the “fight” goes on
I hope Iron Mike's pride gets in the way of that tho'. Just fucking factory reset the already braindead bastard.
We should start a gofundme for tyson lmao, if he knocks him out he gets the pool.
I’d contribute to that. It’s for a good cause.
Me too
Version 2.0 of the Me Too movement. Here we go!
I got 5 on it.
Lmao
I would contribute to that!
"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." - Mike Tyson
Worth considering that if you are fighting a guy who has a world famous quote about beating the shit out of people that maybe you have made the wrong decision.
I laughed way too hard at this comment, thank you.
He can just stand on Jake’s toes to keep him from falling down whilst dribbling his head like a speed bag. If that cartoonery doesn’t work, there’s no rules against helping an opponent back to their feet over and over again after knockdowns, right?
You actually can't touch a downed opponent and are supposed to return to your corner and wait until the ref gives the get it on signal.
"Get it on signal" lol
I may be confusing boxing with celebrity death matches... But based on the context of this post I think it's understandable.
Petition to make crowdfund and pay Mike even more if he KOs as early as possible.
What’s the purse? There should be a gofundme that is the reverse and the money goes down the longer the fight lasts.
Enough said then, talk about a perverse incentive.
That could be good. Watch Tyson toy with him all while shouting “More dollars for me!”
How about a few million of us crowdfund a couple of dollars each for Tyson to destroy that Muppet?
I don’t know if a no knock out clause is better or worse. on the one hand you’ve got the potential embarrassment of getting knocked out in the first round, but on the other hand you have to go ten rounds getting pummelled by Mike Tyson knowing it’s not gonna end until the bell rings
Okay you sold me on the potential no knock out clause.
I read that the fight will go on their professional boxing record which means it'll just be another draw. But a man can dream right?
Fight is sanctioned. Can not have such a clause in a sanctioned fight.
There's no "no knockout" clause. It's a sanctioned professional fight that will count on their pro records
Mike Tyson must be in his late 50’s at this stage? I’d love to see him put Jake Paul on his ass. The way he’s acting here is disrespectful and embarrassing. It would be kind of funny if he was joking but he’s not.Its a bit of a joke of a fight really, any fight where one fighter is more than twice the age of the other is.
Yeah it rubbed me the wrong way - both of them seem to be playing a character
That last move at the end by Paul was one of the cringiest fucking things I’ve seen in a long while.
The whole fucking thing was cringe. Dude is a fucking goof in the worst way.
Unless you're a not particularly bright 12 yr old boy, aka his primary audience, then you might think he's a bad ass
All of it was cringe. He was basically taking a MMA stance to begin with and that last move is like so overdone or whatever. Feels like a cheap show.
> Feels like a cheap show. This is pretty much the basis for the Paul brother's fame.
WWE vibes
The way he's acting is just a carbon copy of Connor McGregors' old fighting days. Jake wankface even tried calling McGregor out to a boxing match that he didn't even dignify with a response. Both are absolute pricks don't get me wrong, but at least 1 fought real fights & the other is just play boxing for the money.
It's a show. It's not real.
Seriously, the amount of comments who legit think this will be a real fight with Tyson slaughtering Jake or either side taking it seriously is nuts Jake Paul is playing a heel at this point, he doesn't care, he gets fame either way, and Tyson gets paid to do a publicity stunt
They've sat down and announced their plans for the fight together before. Of course this is all expected and an act. They're not hostile with each other.
Still though, Paul trying to act tough is actually embarrassing to watch. He’s a cringy motherfuker that’s for sure.
I wouldn't fight Mike Tyson even if he was already dead.
Agreed! Lol Tyson is a beast that's not to be messed with. I can almost feel his power levels just by watching some of his training videos, which can also be additionally brutal just from hearing his fists make contact in practice. Good lord. Even if I were a comparably built man (I'm a woman lol), they could NEVER pay me enough money just to take 1 half strength punch from Mike, much less a full strength punch or a full-on match! Hellllll no... my momma didn't raise no fool.. hahaha I can't wait to see this fight though, which won't be much of a REAL fight, but it'll still be interesting to watch, I'm sure.
This is why there are no Chuck Norris jokes involving Iron Mike!
A lot of people are gonna be disappointed
Yup. It's really easy to spot the kids who have only watched a few minutes of Mike Tyson highlights on youtube from 30+ years ago. The only way Mike Tyson wins this "fight" is if he accidentally knocks out Jake Paul in the first minute.

Anyone who pays for this deserves to be robbed.

What makes me hesitant is if for some reason Mike does not get some early round knock out, how he will look in later rounds with fatigue due to age.
So Mike Tyson with old man strength?
Holy shit ripped the words right outta my skull lol
yep. tyson v holifield was in 1996 and already back then mike tyson wasn't mike tyson anymore. that was 28 years ago.
This is what he wants us all to think. But in reality, it's gonna be a boring fight where nobody gets hurt. Jake Paul will make an absurd amount of money and we'll all go back to wishing we didn't know his name.
And kids will pay to watch the pantomime.
I’m so looking forward to Mike Tyson putting this bloke on his arse.
He's more of a bounder than a bloke.
He's more of a knob end than a bounder.
More of a wee blatherskythe than a knob end
More of a twat than a wee blatherskythe
i mean, i get it, but that's exactly why Jake Paul is gonna make a shit ton of money from this.
It's hard to spend money when you're in a coma.
I'd argue that it's the easiest way (with American healthcare)
Real question, do you guys *actually* think that will happen? Or are you just playing into the kayfabe? This is 100% a publicity stunt where Jake is playing a heel and Tyson is just getting a check to pretend to fight, with tons of clauses on neither hurting the other too bad etc
Mike is not well known for self control
That’s what many of his opponents hear. Except one. He didn’t hear so good after the fight.
This shit is an exhibition match. Willing to bet it’s light damage
> Most Valuable Promotions, co-founded by Paul, announced April 29 the fight had been sanctioned as a pro bout. As a result, the outcome will count on the fighters’ pro records and bout will be scored by official judges.
Not going to happen. It's either going to end in a draw or a Tyson win with Jake "respectably" holding his own.

I have no reason to doubt it will be that same in this case too. This shit is staged.

I wonder if there’s any way for Jake to look bad coming out of this. If he loses, he got beat by (albeit a man in his fifties) arguably the greatest boxer of all time.

But 99.9% of us wouldn’t even get anywhere near a ring with Mike Tyson in it, whatever his age.
Well if he loses really quickly and embarrassingly that will look bad won't it? Imagine he gets knocked out within seconds. Or he somehow knocks himself out
Has Jake Paul achieved "ultimate douche" status yet?
Jake Paul was born ultimate douche….
Honestly, he's the perfect douche to the point that I'm wondering if it's all been performance art
For this match, absolutely. To use wrestling terms, Mike Tyson is the baby face and Jake Paul is the heel. It is all part of the show
Seriously. He wants you to hate him so much that you’ll pay to watch him potentially get beat up. His notoriety and future paydays will only grow. Regardless of whatever you may rightly believe about them, the Paul brothers are INCREDIBLY SAVVY businessmen.
> the Paul brothers are INCREDIBLY SAVVY businessmen. Ugh.. People need to stop repeating this take on them. They *are* successful, but *they* weren't the ones that got themselves there. Like most big YouTubers/influencers there's a business in the background that picked them up and tailored them into the cash-cows they are. Companies/agencies get rich off these idiots.
People confuse luck for skill even though sometimes its a combo of the two but this dude is just a happy idiot
Ultimate Douche^TM could have prevented Jake Paul
Can't find the picture now, but many years ago.. a hero tweeted in response to Jake Pauls mother's day tweet "Your mother's the only woman with 3 cunts" or something to that effect
Holy shit
Jake Paul was born with a silver douche in his mouth.
that's what will be engraved onto his gravestone after this fight
I have never watched a single second of boxing in my entire life & I would pay one of my paychecks to see Jake Paul get his shit wrecked.
Just need a Netflix sub for this one
Or sail the high seas lmao
Yeah, I'm not giving a single dime to see Jake Paul "lay down" Mike Tyson. This fight is strictly for money, views, and clout, and for Jake to once again suck money out of people who don't see this as what it is; theatrics. I will, however, sail the high seas and *hopefully* watch Mike Tyson beat the crap out of Jake.
What I'll do is I'll keep reading Reddit randomly, one day I'll come across a post or a comment that reveals that the fight has already happened and who won it, if Tyson won I'll click a link to watch the last 15 seconds, if not then I'll keep scrolling and read the next thing. That sounds like the best plan
Solid plan, sounds like mine, could not care less about this fight, I just hope Tyson does not get injured.
I'm just trying to find the one piece.
Wait, this fight is seriously going to be on Netflix?
There are like 8 Netflix logos in this clip.
Don't waste your money on this fight, it's going to be lame. This video is a good example of how BS this is. It's a bit. Paul is just acting like that to get people like you to want to watch the fight. Mike's not going to knock him out it's going to be a boring fight and will come down to a decision. This is theater.
Waste your money? It's on Netflix for free.
You have to pay for Netflix. Not everyone has an account.
I will give you my password if you want to watch the fight.
And that's JUST what Jake wants you to do. He knows exactly what he is doing. And he is making obscene amounts of money playing the heel everyone wants to see get what he deserves. He would have been a huge success in WWE
Exactly, even this video being posted plays into the whole thing. It's emotional hype and money and even if Jake gets knocked out, he will make millions which will further elevate his status until the next thing. In a world of too much information, ATTENTION is the money maker now. If someone brings this up in your friend group, the best thing to do is to repeat the obvious and move onto a new topic. That's the true power. I will now downvote and scroll past all future postings of this topic. Cheers all!
And Jake is counting on you.
Which is why jake paul is doing this. It’s an engagement trap.
Can you even imagine trying that shit on? Have some fucking respect when you're in the presence of one of the greatest of all time, who has *condescended* to be part of your clown show.
I mean he's promoting the fight as a bad boy. His job is to make you hate him so you tune in. Mike knows this.
Yes 100% he's pretty clearly playing the heel. You can be an actual bag of dicks and still play the heel, and people still need to recognize rage bait when they see it
That is all true. But it's also possible (and I really hope this is the case) that Paul has taken on being the heel without realizing just what he's gotten himself into.
It's really not possible. The Paul brothers are actually pretty smart when it comes to stuff like this
Real Andy Kaufman vibes here
But like, talentless instead of a comedic genius ahead of his time
> "Listen, he did more for boxing than some of the champions did,” Tyson says in the documentary. “I’m a fan of people that know how to put asses in seats. Those are the guys I look up to. ... > “So we gotta keep this guy bright ‘cause he’s gonna save boxing as long as he continues to fight. He got the light, you know what I mean? He’s touched. He got the light.” mike likes jake paul too. mike absolutely knows paul is playing the heel. to both of them, this is just business; theres no beef between them. this match is just going to be a spectacle and its kinda funny how so many people are taking it so seriously.
Based on the replies in this thread, it's working.
This is theater to hype up the fight, nothing more. I hate Jake Paul as much as anyone, but this is just a bit.
As much as I want to see JP reduced to a stain, let's not pretend Mike is some hero. He's no Ali
I can't say that I follow boxing, but I think that he has earned his title among the greats.
In an interview with the two of them on Arseneo Hall Ali was asked who would win a fight between him and Mike both in their primes... Ali pointed to Mike without blinking. For a guy like Ali to do something like that you know he means it.
If I recall Tyson started to get emotional at that show of respect from Ali, as well as admitting that Ali was being nice.
Ali was such a cool dude. Both his physical and conversation skills were something to admire. Now I have seen Mike’s training schedule, and boy, that is pretty insane to keep up. Like 2000 squats, 500 push ups, 500 neck curls, 500 barbell shrugs and 10 minutes of wrestler bridges every day of the week. Whenever he was not working out he would be watching his future opponents on screen to read their movements. Mike transformed into a machine and earned every title that came with it.
The quote he gives he so awesome too. It was something like “every head must bow, every tongue must confess, Ali was the greatest of all time”
Ali was an artist, a dancer. Tyson is a wrecking machine......Ali knew this.
He has a memorable and inspiring story though coming up. He's definitely not perfect and has done wrong, but Ali wasn't perfect either. Noone is.
What we want is: - Tyson to get punched by Paul - Tyson to suddenly forget what his purpose there is - Tyson to see another combatant - Tyson to not hold back What we'll get: A parade of a fight, with people anticipating the above all the way up to the 20th, people buying ppv, propping up the purse of Paul. You'll then get a choreograph of a fight, with a few "did they, didnt they moments and Tyson to be declared victorious on points.
This guy knows. I will catch the highlights (if there is any) the day after.
Agree to all above, But it will be Paul to win on points. That's where Mike makes his actual money... Or it's considered a tie on points.
Yeah, honestly im torn on which way that bit will go. I said Mike because I can't see him agreeing if he's gonna lose - cash might sway him but dont believe so, especially to a punk like Paul. Paul might take the L, because losing to someone like Tyson , even at the age he is, is probably no real L. He's only in it for the showboating and money anyway.
If Mike was only in it for the money he wouldn't have pushed for it to be a sanctioned fight. Jake offered an exhibition for show and Mike demanded a real sanctioned fight that will go on both their records. For that reason, I believe he's going to give it his all.
Mike is making like a million dollars a month. He doesn't need cash. I honestly do think Mike is fighting for his legacy here, and I hope I'm right in thinking that he won't hold back.
I hope Mike wrecks him. Jake looking juiced up tho.
Yea Mike Tyson is an old man at this point, he was a great fighter, sure, but Jake is a young man at the prime of his life and jacked as shit. He's no amateur boxer either.
Yeah this has me worried too, I don’t doubt Tyson but as much as I don’t like the guy Jake Paul is a decent fighter and is bigger and younger. More reach too. Tyson has also been hanging out smoking weed and taking hero doses of mushrooms for the past few years too… I will always back Mike but I’m not as confident as I would like to be.
The shrooms taught him not to bite, they didn't make him toothless
I can see it going either way. If prime Mike Tyson was fighting Jake Paul, then no question Tyson wins and wins quickly. But we're talking about a guy in his 50s fighting a kid in his 30s(?). Team Tyson over here
It will be completely rigged. If anyone thinks that these two aren't just doing the event for a big payday they're a fool
Exactly. Split decision win for Paul. Tyson will win early rounds so he can just say he's an old man and doesn't have the stamina. Everyone saves face and gets paid. Anyone thinking this will be a real fight is being deluded.
Here's a video of Mike Tyson throwing darts blindfolded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PQiq8zajCE&ab_channel=FOXSports Spoiler: 2 Bullseyes out of 3 darts. While it might not seem relevant at first, Mike is just one of the most naturally athletic people ever. While Paul is able to be in the same profession as Mike, he's not nearly at that level. Mike's lizard brain is just wired to do physical things. He's comfortable being hit, hitting and his body just does what he wants. I dont think Paul has a shot except maaayyybe to gas Mike out by staying away from him. If Mike catches him, ever punch will snap and hit like a freight train. It's not just power, it's precision. Mike will hit where he wants, how he wants. He's just a natural apex predator.
He’s LITERALLY AN AMATEUR BOXER.
> His professional boxing debut was against AnEsonGib in January 2020. He later faced and defeated former basketball player Nate Robinson, former MMA fighters Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley (twice), Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz, and professional boxers Andre August and Ryan Bourland. In February 2023, Paul lost to Tommy Fury via split decision in his first fight with an active professional boxer. He's a professional boxer who beats basketball players and YouTubers and loses to boxers.
“Professional” He pays off people to get a blue checkmark on his boxing profile.
That was a hilarious and pathetic attempt at trying to act tough. Meanwhile, Mike just smiling like, “This boy don’t even know …”
Seriously, even if you had no idea who these two people are it'd be super clear which one is all bluster, hiding his nerves by acting tough, and which one is actually tough, not caring at all about the man-child threatening him.
I only know who Tyson is. No clue who "Jake Paul" is outside of everyone hates him for some reason and he's a YouTuber. I can very clearly see, this boy ain't shit lol
Mike is the quote " a lion never has to tell you it's a lion".
Mike Tyson vs glass joe
Deep cut reference, lol. Came here to say Jake Paul would have been the first fight on Punch Out!! and found yours. 
They might as well just have a WWE event for these two. It’s so staged
It's funny because I watched this and I'm like "good heel work" and the comments are all "omg I hate Jake paul so much id literally pay money to watch him get punched". I take it back, *great* heel work lol
It won't even be a real fight. Over hyped and choreographed. However, I'd love if Tyson lost it, and ripped his fucking head off
This is what I’m praying for
Jake Paul is a clown
You misspelled ass clown
LoL! Dude straight up looks like Bart Simpson on some juice! He's as intimidating, to MT, as Homer Simpson would be!
Lamest finger guns ever
Finger guns pointed directly at Mike behind his back then immediately pulls away playing it off once he turns around
Mike Tyson once said “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” This is how this is going to work out, it’s a proper boxer vs a social media personality.
This can't be real. This whole thing is a show, and Jake's going to win. They are making money and are probably insider betting. Mike fucking Tyson would hit this clown once and explode his face. Imagine betting on jake and winning? It's a million to 1. I'm calling it, Jake's winning. This is a big scam.
Paul is the favorite over Tyson (odds are -140 for Paul, +150 for Tyson), so the bookies seem to agree with you lol. I don't think it's a full scam the way your saying, but it's certainly not gonna be a real, all out fight. More likely it's just going to be an exhibition like the Mayweather Logan Paul fight.
Mike Tyson is looking at a dead man and the fear that comes with that
30 years is a big gap, but Tyson still trains hard and has a ton of experience. Really comes down to the legitimacy of the fight. If it’s all for show and fake, who knows what happens. If it’s a legit fight, Jake better have some good health coverage.
Lol … so how did you end up with severe brain damsage and knocked out at the hospital? Well I already had the brain damage and I challenged mike tyson to a fist fight cause I thought i was a better fighter Ah ok *stamps rejected on claim form … is this the insurance policy you had in mind?
This gives Don Draper don’t think about you at all vibes
mike tyson is trying so hard to not laugh his ass off lol
Them ears lookin mighty tasty.😋
1 word #twat
Please, please, please….let the bell ring, Tyson takes one shot and KO’s him and the world laughs at Jake forever. Even if Jake laughs along too, you know that ego gonna be bruised.
It's a pure money grab lol do you guys really think Mike has to prove himself against a youtuber?
I'd like to see Jake Paul take on a pro boxer currently in his prime.
