What do you think about the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight?

The older people get, the higher the medical insurance is. Plus people playing such dangerous sports always have higher insurance costs. There must be a reason why he chose to get into the ring at such an old age. Maybe he ran out of retirement money.

Wow he's 55 years old. Never knew this.
Don't know how such people are managing hypertension and hearbeat issues for such a sport and age.

Otoh, is jake paul now considered as a real professional boxer or youtuber turned celebrity boxer?

Celebrity boxer at most. Look at the video, Jake has little to no footwork. It's just show. How can a real boxer get out of breath after 3 rounds of 3 minutes each just running round in a small ring?
Plus he was measuring the distance to take a punch. I don't think pro boxers do that stuff. That's like amateur level stupid thing to do.

By selling things? No one is insured that much and anyway no one provides health insurance for life. The premiums would be ridiculous after the accident.

Some articles mentioned he lived in Switzerland where it is mandatory to have health insurance and they have one of the world's best health care.
It is not like he would not get some parts covered atleast.
 
At least WWF/ WWE has the kayfabe which is why I'm currently doing an entire re-watch of the "Attitude Era" (right back from 1996) and enjoying it so much!

This match between Tyson and Jake was a joke but hey Ty got paid BIG money so all happy happy! Heck, he even mentioned he might even be back for another match in the future (took Logan Paul's name in jest!) in his post-match interview! Baddest Man on the Planet will be back :D

Off-Topic: Did anyone watch the Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano's match? Now that was a fight! Full marks to Serrano for continuing to box in spite of that gaping wound she sustained thanks to that awful head butt from Katie on the top of her right eye.

Mike gave a talk about Legacy with a childish reporter, just a day or so before the fight.
There is no legacy, we all die and will be forgotten is what he said.
That was on purpose, he had to pay bill, netflix had to use a narcissist hollow minded youth to fight an old legend to make money, after the fight Tyson bagged the money, showed his bare posterior on camera as per netflix standards and left. That's with the stage game, people got the entertainment the timeline demanded.

BTW Jake Paul was the promoter, so it was Netflix that took up the rights, not that they selected him.

Also, Tyson's interview with his son where he revealed his posterior was before the fight, not after.

What made you think it was anything else?

People are perfectly fine with wrestling for decades now.

Kind of sad that the nature of Boxing makes it inevitable that these kinds of fights will soon be the pinnacle of the sport.

I think this was a one off that could only work with someone like Tyson. Not too many of his kind around

I see many youtuber vs youtuber fights getting more hype than real fights. Tommy Fury fighting a youtuber got more views than Tyson Fury.

Jake’s win isn’t skill. it’s laughable, almost insulting, but here we are. Jake needs to fight current boxers but he wont cant. He knows he is not a real fighter.
