Bangers Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Thot I had done a thread on this, or possibly another member but can't see one. The theatre behind all this just appears a bit weird, staged! they both know each other and it just feels like ONE BIG financial commercial agreement, Mike's been there at the Very top level and needs no introduction and I dare say he's been lured in by some big BIG figures $$$$$$$$$ J.P Uses these fights are self promotion and the guy has no morals, any publicity is good publicity for him along with all his products he's always shamelessly waving around at every given opportunity. Eddie Hern has wiped the floor with him a few times with various reality checks, J.P has improved BUT if he went up against a Pro boxer at the same weight as him he'd get schooled, even if he came up against a decent up and coming armature at the same weight he'd most probably still get schooled, lets face it, J.P is doing everything apart from fighting on the big stage with a similar age & weight BOXER! He's cherry picked every opponent and when he did fight a Boxer ''Tommy Fury'' he got beat, granted on pts with the fight going the distance but T.F still played around with him, I have looked at how the bookmakers chalk this fight up and they all have J.P down as Fav. Whatever the outcome its a sad day when things drop away to this level of low, sure it's entertainment but it's turning into an uncomfortable Circus act, when Mike was in his prime many of us will know what the time was like, not many of us boxing fans of a certain age would dare miss any of Iron Mike's fights, and as we all know they were often over before Round 2 The world in that time has changed a lot, this change isn't a good thing, legends like Mike Tyson should be left alone to enjoy his well earned retirement, a BIG pay day has enticed him back, J.P will be the main winner from all this, as per usual at every opportunity waving his products at the camera like some daft salesmen on steroids. Will we watch is LIVE or the morning after on YT ? COURSE we will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacko Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 Everything about this fight screams pantomime.. I think the draw at 11/1 looks tempting, the entire thing seems so choreographed up till now. Let’s be honest, a moderately fit Mike Tyson could spark this bum out in a couple of rounds but that isn’t in the script. I remember Foreman and Frazier fighting in exhibitions in their senior years and it was fucking brutal viewing. This is another boxing freak show with the sole intentions of lining deep pockets. The baddest man on the planet versus a joke that couldn’t beat Tommy Fury of Love Island. I can see the bookies taking a plethora of cash on a Tyson victory yet all that glitters may not be Gold. What do ya think @philinvicta, @crazyrightmeow, @MrUKHackz, @Aarongeorge1989 and the 8 guests? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say a punch from a near fit Tyson even at his age should shock Jake Paul. This is just a modern age social media person milking it for all its worth and nobody involved wants to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. At least Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano is on the same card so the attendees will be able to watch a proper fight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Taylor fight should be decent, at least we have two biological females going toe to toe. No more transgenders taking part according to the Donald.

MrUKHackz Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 Eight two minute rounds and 14oz gloves instead of the regular 10oz does give the impression it may be a pillow fight pantomime. However my heart can't help but back Tyson to KO this Disney kid. I wonder what the late Cus D'Amato would be thinking right now? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has all the hallmarks of a pantomime and it would be interesting to know Tyson’s cut of the purse. It’s one thing setting up these joke bouts yet another when it’s for real. Remember internet fighting sensation Kimbo Slice?, they would set him up against bodybuilders, bikers etc.. and he would make mincemeat out of them.. his step up to televised MMA was disastrous to say the least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe its $40mill for Paul and $20mill for Tyson. What I would like if it is staged is for Tyson to suddenly have one of his funny turns and let the beast out and bite Pauls ear off and KO him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Tyson’s current net worth is $10 million so a $20 mill purse is a no brainier. I’ve seen big Lennox making comments about the fight, maybe he’s considering it himself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4houghtscx Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 Love to see Tyson knock him out (but the guy is pushing 60 & will be gassed after the first round) Paul by KO looks £££ if it was a legit fight and not scripted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philinvicta Posted November 16 Share Posted November 16 Boring points win for Paul and will be interesting to see what the viewing figures were like. The Taylor V Serrano sounds like it was a proper fight. There was also a huge sporting shock last night - Scotland won a game of football ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts it was a pretty pathetic spectacle, this was purely a money grab. It’s no wonder the UFC is the main show in town these days, boxing has become a freak show. We will have Jake Paul fighting a Kangaroo next just as they used to at funfairs. Serrano isn’t the slightest bit happy about the scoring of the fight, it does seem a little suss. Good on Scotland, that’s a tough group they are sitting in. A draw against Portugal and a victory over Croatia isn’t to be sniffed at. Another daunting task on Monday as we face the Poles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the fight was in the early hours of Sunday morning so I missed the lot. Most of the commentators advise viewers to give it a miss if you haven’t seen it. There are a vast amount of people feeling sorry for Tyson and how he “needed the money”.. a net worth of $10 Million US is not needing money, it’s hardly two torn fivers he has to his name. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have 10 million and someone is guaranteeing you 20 million with up to 40 million depending on the pay per view it is hard to turn down, I think Katy got 6 million for her fight for instance and people saying she should run and others are saying she would find it hard nor to fight again if she is being offered the same deal. Remember Serrano is back by Jake Paul as well and there is this piece which says she may have made zero ! https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/katie-taylor-loses-huge-4-064534275.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That cash will never leave wee Katie’s purse, we’ll chalk up her foolish words as trash talk. Not as if the problem child needs money.
