I'm NOT watching the fight cause I refuse to give attention and money to a convicted rapist and an influencer creep

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I was not aware about Tyson being a rapist. Thanks for bringing this up. Damn them both.

It happened so long ago, I forget many people weren't around. I thought it was common knowledge. I think it was the movie the hangover which started turning him into a meme and caused people to transfer that into actually liking Tyson. He's an idiot at best, a rapist at worst.

https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/boxing/jake-paul-vs-mike-tyson-fight-why-b2647687.html

Most fucked up part of the article, Tyson speaking about his victim:

"I just hate her guts,” he said of Washington in 2003. “She put me in that state, where I don’t know. I really wish I did now. But now I really do want to rape her.”

Tyson has also been quoted as saying he did “four or five things worse than what I’m accused of”. To eliminate any potential uncertainty – four or five things worse than rape.

So you love rapists. Got it.

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No? I wanted to see Jake Paul get beaten to a pulp.

[–] eatthecake@lemmy.world -1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

So you're supporting Mike Tyson the rapist.

I'm not watching it because I'm not a mark

Tbh, Jake has already lost. If he wins, people will say he beat up a 58yo man, former boxer or not. If he loses, he got beat up by a 58yo man.

Like, there's no way he can actually win in the square of public opinion, and I'm here for it.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago

Pretty sure he lost in the square of public opinion years ago, now he's just capitalizing on it.

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He wins when he gets attention, and he will get that either way

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

100% just like anything to do with Jake Paul, this is about money, and the fact that we are all talking about it really only points to one outcome. He won and we lost.

[–] Blackmist 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pretty sure it's all about the millions of dollars both men will make. If losing is becoming richer by more money than I'll ever see in my life then I'll lose all day long.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 1 points 6 days ago

Probably, but a bit of wounded pride on top would be good for Jake.

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 39 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Even if you're anti-Paul, watching the fight is free press for him. Same as how Trump did it

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Watch a pirated stream and don't talk about it and it's fine really.

I’m here for both of those things. I only wish it was Mike Tyson in his prime so we could really see a total annihilation of this asswipe.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's all scripted so it would turn out however they wrote it. Boxing is scripted and every altercation and weigh in fight/drama in boxing and UFC/MMA is set up and fake

Yup, I had the same thought. The slap was just to generate hype. The fight was pretty tame. This was just a money making event.

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 2 points 6 days ago

Dude what is wrong with you?

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Paul wouldn't have challenged Tyson in his prime, his professional career is a sham.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But wouldn’t you love to see it happen?

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Who would be the equivalent these days? They should challenge Paul!

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

There is no equivalent to Iron Mike in his prime. GOAT

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

They do all the time, he's not gonna take any fight where he can lose, especially if money isn't the number one motivator. The fact that this isn't common sense is worrying.

Akimbo Slice in his prime vs Paul would be more glorious.

Well this just about aged like fine milk. Far from beating Jake to a pulp, Tyson threw just 18 punches the entire fight. Though I suppose it's inevitable when Tyson is more than double Jake's age and he retired years ago

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Isn't this what basically half of people expected to happen? It was an exhibition, not a fight.

[–] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh, I'm not surprised at the outcome, I expected the almost 60 y/o man to lose to the under 30 y/o man, but was just surprised to see the stats on just how little Tyson actually did in the fight.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

I haven't kept up with his stuff but according to some article I read, he's been essentially crippled for a few years now? Like had to be in a wheelchair 2 years ago, then vomited so much blood at one point that the fight was pushed by 6 months... He's not healthy for an 80 year old, much less 58.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

As much as I'd love to watch Jake Paul having to spit out all of his stupid teeth, I'm not paying those people fucking money.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Oh we are definitely the same, friend. I want Jake Paul to look like extra pulp orange juice.

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

Of course, I made the mistake of posting this exclusively on platforms where I hold the same opinions as everyone else.

Love the meme but hate the sport. The whole thing revolves around two people hurting each other and causing brain damage in the process. That’s not entertaining to me, that’s horrifying.

[–] Blackmist 12 points 1 week ago

I wouldn't worry because anybody that called this event "boxing" also hates the sport...

[–] CasualPenguin@reddthat.com 6 points 1 week ago

They're both trump supporters, so don't feel, the brain damage was a pre existing condition

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Most of us are not watching the fight because Netflix is sucking a big tube steak tonight. I haven't seen this much buffering since dial up modems.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I guess they created a hit event then! And cheaped out on their elastic servers.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

George Foreman once described Mike Tyson as a "cross-town bus in boxing trunks".

To be fair unfortunately Jake Paul is probably going to win easily given age difference that fact he is a professional fighter even if not elite and Mikes long retirement.

I'm not watching it cuz shitass Netflix won't stop buffering.

[–] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Nah, Jake Paul getting facefisted is the only reason I'd watch this shit.

But this has shenanigans written all over it, so I'm not gonna give it my attention.

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

Ah, bollocks...
