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 3 points 3 hours 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.

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.

[–] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 24 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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 12 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 7 points 10 hours 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 1 points 7 hours 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.

[–] Fuzzy_Red_Panda@lemm.ee 14 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

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@feddit.uk 11 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] CasualPenguin@reddthat.com 6 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 61 points 16 hours ago (7 children)

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

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 2 points 12 hours ago

Hoooly shit is this happening?!

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.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 17 points 9 hours 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 2 hours ago

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

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 24 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours 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.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 30 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 37 points 16 hours 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 11 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

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

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.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 28 points 17 hours ago (7 children)

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 -1 points 5 hours 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

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 0 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 31 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 9 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

But wouldn’t you love to see it happen?

So you love rapists. Got it.

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] eatthecake@lemmy.world 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

So you're supporting Mike Tyson the rapist.

[–] discostjohn@programming.dev 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Terrible reading comprehension

[–] eatthecake@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Terrible human

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours 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 13 hours ago

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

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 8 points 14 hours ago

Ah, bollocks...

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 16 points 17 hours 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 17 hours ago

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

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

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

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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.
