So Mike Tyson's coach latter asked him (Tyson) to go back home for his family after being defeated by Paul.
The coach was remorseful in regards of Tyson's age but think he is skeptically disappointed of Tyson lost after training him against the match for 7months.
Quite a hmm... because there must surely emerge a winner in a match as much as this one.
Even the young Paul confirmed his sympathy on Tyson not capable to conserve stamina to fit in the total rounds for the fight and also confirmed that he was concious not to leave Tyson with unnecessary pains by the end of the match so he could enjoy his going back home.
This one though cracked my ribs. Lol.
Incredibly... Tyson admitted a honest defeated by Paul.
It baffles me how most of you don't realize this was a scripted fight from the start, with all of the drama, Jake stepping on Tyson during the face-off, the slap and all that. All of the drama you're watching is intended to make individuals like you believe the whole thing was real. Lol Tyson has already retired, and Jake was always going to win to bolster his career.
Getting $20m to lose a fight is a lot for someone who was already in debt.
It wasn't scripted. It might as well have been an exhibition though as Jake was obviously taking it easy and Tyson probably just can't go full hog for more than a few minutes. Jake did throw a few huge punches that narrowly missed and it wouldn't have been pretty had they landed so I'm not sure he was pulling them all.
On side note: Drake loses $350,000 on this one. lol
Canadian rapper Drake wagered $355,000 on Mike Tyson in his fight against Jake Paul, which took place on November 15, 2024, at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Known for his sports betting, Drake backed 58-year-old Tyson in his return to the ring. However, Tyson lost to 27-year-old Paul by unanimous decision, resulting in Drake losing his bet.sourceIs this Drake really gambling with his own cryptocoins? This appears for me very much similar to these influencers in the cryptospace or in streaming services like Twitch who are being given some tokens to gamble and shill on social media heheheh.
No. The bets are bullshit and it's obviously part of his promo deal with Stake.
Mike got more fit thanks to this fight. For a person his age, that is only a benefit. Much better than smoke, chill and wait for an old age. Mike earned 20 millions. Mike gained more or new audience for his podcast. Proved that he still can show and teach young boxers. Did not get any serious damage. I see only benefits from this loss
I don't know about that. Financially, it was a great move indeed, but sports-wise, not so much.
The rumour emerged that the fight was fixed and, allegedly, there was a leaked script describing how the fight will go (it wasn't very accurate but was close enough). Whether it was real or not - I don't know, what I do know is a lot of people have lost a lot of respect for Mike.
Oh I would love to see what the allegedly script are, but there are video circulating that says Mike Tyson is not really pushing himself in the fight and he was just trying to go to the motions of the fight. But we've seen the he was really tired going into the last round and I thought that Jake Paul might take that advantage and knockout Mike for good. But it didn't happen and maybe that could be one of the scripts as well that there is no knockout win. But in a any case, yeah, a legend like Mike should have pass this one, but the offer though, $20 million, it's one and done opportunity.
That "script" was bullshit. Anyone can write one up in ten minutes and post it on the internet. It might have been somewhat believable if it was posted before the fight and everything went to plan as per the script but nothing on the "script" actually happened.
