They filled the arena with 72,000 people & millions watching via Netflix. It’s not gonna stop. The only way they stop is when you stop paying & watching.
I feel like if it was a true paid per-view it wouldn't have got those numbers on the stream side. Going with Netflix was an automatic win. They are the global leaders in streaming and all you needed was an account. So basically you watched it for free. That was a big brain move by Netflix to really dabble into boxing and pull it away from HBO & Showtime. But we will see, the future isn't written only the past is.
There should be no more fights like this. It's killing boxing. Boxing has turned in to 90% let downs and we need to get our sport back to pride and loyalty to the sport.
boxing will be banned within 40 years every sport has concussion protocols but in boxing its the main agenda i am x boxer pro boxing will eventually be banned its only still existing due to most boxers coming from poverty stricken areas
Why would they not want to see an iconic boxing legend give his all in the last fight of his life? A man who is in a better place mentally than he was 20 years ago. Is old, but not THAT old (Mark Felix is a 58yo strongman still setting records), people act like he's 90 when he is still moving better than most 20 year olds on the pads, clearly takes steroids/TRT and put on a decent performance just 3 years ago. We wanted to see the underdog trimupth, which is the essence of boxing. We got fooled with a theatric WWE match.
@@Payne33 bud it was rigged if u believe any of that ur insane Tyson bit his glve literally to not throw u can watch body language must be a young super young man
@@strueskills 😂 bud ok. It wasn’t rigged. Tyson bit his glove against Holyfield, Lewis, Douglas both the thumb and the the fingers watch the fights. He’s almost 60 years old dude. Jake punched Mike as hard as anyone he’s fought. He hurt and old man it’s not impressive. Watch the first few rounds again. He clipped Mike with that big right hand on the chin that Mike countered and he was off balance for 3 rounds almost. Add that to back problems, sciatica, bad knees come on man he. His punch resistance not what it was. Jake tried with all his might to knock him out. Caught him with 4 big left hands while he was off balance. Dude he could’ve really hurt Mike. That was not staged that shit was sick
Yeah, because carefully selected 10 second edited clips on pads are TOTALLY an accurate representation of what can be done in 8 × 2 minute rounds with a much healthier & fitter guy hitting back...
We all knew he couldn't go like that for 8 rounds, but Tyson just didn't have the leg speed like he did and he couldn't get to Paul and he was getting hit when he tried and Paul can crack. Jake Paul is not elite but he is a competent boxer and has defeated some good fighters.
With all due respect am I being unreasonable to believe Tyson could show 10 seconds of what he showed us in his training routines? I didn’t expect Tyson to be able to go full out for each 2 minute round but one or two 10 second spurts in each 2 minute rounds I don’t believe was unrealistic given Tyson’s training videos. Instead now there is questions about what happened. I mean my gosh for 7 rounds Tyson did almost nothing and you expected that?? Really?? Jeepers I’m 69 years old and have never boxed in my life but I could have chased Paul around better than Tyson did. I mean seriously?? We are talking about Mike Tyson here who showed us 5/10 second training clips where he looked like a 20 yr old Tyson for that 10 second clip and he couldn’t even try to repeat those 10 second clips once or twice in each 2 minute rounds??? I don’t know the answer to why Tyson did not show what I expected but I def disagree with you that our expectations were unreasonable and that we should have expected what we got.
we were all hoping for miracles. But at the very least i think we expected that Mike would be able to move around and throw a punch. He looked 100 times worse than vs Roy Jones. He clearly didn't do any sparing or serious work that should have made him think it was ok for him to do this. A trainer should have been able to work with him and see him move and put him vs a young guy in training to see that he was not capable of this.
Nothing mentioned about the knee support at anytime until Tyson was walking up to the ring.. it’s an easy cop out to not want to knock JP out and take the full purse offered to him for the conditions of going the 8 rounds and losing. It’s that simple he sold us all a little bit of a fairy tale.
when I saw that his trunks were not all black but had some advertising on them, thats when I knew he was squeezing every drop of money out of this as possible. He is not in it to win it or to resume his old character that intimidates his opponent. He had no bad intentions, no bad look on his face, stare down nothiing.
Half the punch output of the Roy Jones fight, half the level of accuracy. This is the biggest scam in modern sports history. Someone actually has to pay for this. We have 480 million stolen from people.
Most of us already had Netflix accounts. At most you spent $20 for the month. I'd be mad if it were a pay per view. I'm still mad about spending $100 for Conor Floyd.
I’m just honestly surprised Mike of all people would go for this, to disrespect the sport, to disrespect the fans, money comes and goes legacy is forever.
I don't blame Tyson at all. He got one more handsome PAY CHECK to pad his retirement. It was a great opportunity! At 58, this was his last chance for one more lucrative bout and a sweet paycheck. Why not? Regular working class guys work their whole careers to accumulate maybe just one million. A hundred years from now few people will even know or care about who Tyson was or his legacy. Also, cheers to him for making it through the entire fight at 58 years old without getting hurt of knocked out by a husky 20 something guy in his prime. I hope he can hold on to the money this time and not blow it and be broke in his old age like Joe Louis and others.
He got kicked out of camp by Cus super early on, he knew Tyson when he was 15 years old but after that he didn't have anything to really do with him, Cus, Rooney etc.. Are you the same person you were when you were 15? Tyson peaked and his prime years where under Cus and Rooney.
@@Joel0991 thats still points that dude knew Tyson better than any fanboy who behaves like he knows Mike and that pretty much everything he said about Tyson was spot on. Tyson peak was under Atlas and Rooney, Cus never trained Mike he supervised his development but his trainers were Atlas and Rooney.
I have much respect for Teddy but as long as you guys continue call Jake Paul a genius and continue to pat him on the back for simply scamming people such as yourselves, I question your character. If your barometer for success is simply cashing in on a profit, then you guys are part of the problem. You two are contributing to the downfall of boxing. I dont gamble. Maybe if I did I would think differently but I dont. Its been obvious from day one, Paul is a bullshit artist. Who cares if he fights washed up mma guys or 60 year old boxers. This was a waste of time. Utterly useless and you two should know better.
You can go broke selling vegan snacks or make cash selling triple cheeseburgers with double fried bacon. You can't blame the businessman who sells morons what they want.
Paul is a genius because normally, early career fights are no risk fights against no-names. However, Paul is fighting no risk fights with names people recognize so that it can be monetized. That’s brilliant. MMA guys that can’t box and a 58 year old. It’s no different than fighting no-name guys, but he’s learning as he goes.
@@Morongobill " TOMATO CANS " More like DENTED, OLD, RUSTY TOMATO CANS. PAUL IS A GENIUS FOR THE WAY HE MAKES MILLIONS, QUICKLY, HARDLY ANY RISK, PEOPLE WANT TO SEE IT & HE LOVES DOING IT. Is it a scam ? It depends if you pay to watch it, gamble on it or don't. You can only answer this question, DID YOU FALL FOR IT ?
You can shear a sheep many times, but skin him only once. The sheep was skinned on this one. Who in their right mind will ever tune in to watch another Paul farce?
Whatever. This was clearly always meant to be an exhibition match. It was fun for a lot of Gen Xers. It was nostalgic. Seeing 58 year old Mike Tyson train that hard and get back into that good a shape probably inspired a lot of people in their 50s to get off their arses and get active.
Yeah I'm not seeing the downside here. Tyson got paid, we had something to watch on a Friday night instead of scrolling through our phones and there were two amazing fights before it. These are the same people who get mad about reboots and sequels.
These exhibition matches are the future No one care about the heavy weight champ We wanna watch Steven A vs Jason Whitlock Jake Paul vs Draymond Green That’s where the money is
@@cainblo1 Actual fights still make good money. Bivol Beiterbiev did awesome, Usyk Fury two is going to make serious cash, Canelo always pulls in good money, Ryan Garcia, tank, etc. And honestly, Jake Paul is the only celebrity pulling big numbers in boxing. He's also brought some fans to the sport. I know my nephews watched him vs Tyson, and hopefully that will lead them to watching actual boxing when they're older.
@ agree there is some but for the majority . They will never see a 20 million purse . Canelo made 35 for his last fight . A multiple championship level fighter. Still made less than Paul. Have T. Crawford , Wilder, Fury,GGG, Connor Mc. ever made 20+?
@@cainblo1 you said no one will care about the real fighters. That's untrue, Crawford, tank, Ryan Garcia, Canelo, very popular. And Paul made that much because it wasn't pay per view. And Paul is also the only one who makes that much. One guy won't end the entire boxing industry. He can only fight like once every 6 months. And you can also watch multiple fights! You can watch Paul on a Friday and then another fight on Saturday. A lot of people watched Jon Jones that weekend.
No we were not all suckers, I had been saying that this wasn’t 1986 and that Mike would look old. Tyson hasn’t looked like Iron Mike since the Douglas fight. Mike had his prime from 1987-1990 and that’s it! Y’all people are simple and believe the beautiful lie
How far we have fallen. Fight fixed_no big deal. This was a sanctioned fight and there should be an investigation. If found guilty both participants should be barred forever.Brushing it aside makes you as guilty as they are Teddy. As long as you benefitted it's all okay right?
@@insomb he aged out. All the greats do. The difference is Tyson doesn't give a shit about pissing on the fans to make a paycheck. He took everyone's money to take a dive to a Paul brother 😂
It was a prearranged agreement. It goes like this: They agree to NOT go full tilt and try to knock the other guy out. The only question was would they stick to the agreement. Would either one decide to say screw it and go for the KO. I think Tyson did go for it in the first round. He almost fell down trying to go inside and he got hit. So at that point, Tyson chilled out and only threw 2 punches per round. They did their little dance and Jake did enough to get the decision as scripted. Jake also took mersey and did not try to KO Mike which he could of anytime after the second round. They both suckered the world and got millions.
What you posted is not scripted. Tyson going after Paul for a KO in round 1 would be off script to begin with. What happened is exactly what to be expected. Tyson is 58 years old and has gas for 1 round and thats what we got. Only boxing rubes thought different. Paul obviously held back because he already had the fight won and there was no good upside of Paul being aggressive at the end since..... 1. Beating up a 58 year old man with 1 leg that had blood transfusions a few months back on a record breaking Netlix audience would have been far worst PR than what he got and could have could issues with athletic commissions ever approving a circus like this again. 2. Paul being aggressive technically could have opened him up to a freak flush shot even if very unlikely. again he already had the fight won so he gets no upside on being aggressive.
It was a staged exhibition/sparring session between friends. Just like Tyson v. Jones. Just like "the Tyson tour" shortly after Mike retired. People are very dumb
@@travzimmerman1340 Except it was a pro fight that is on Tyson's record forever and Tyson got paid less money as well. If you think Mike is friends with a gen z white kid from Cleveland who made him take a loss for less money then I got a bridge to sell you.
Tyson was such a beast back in the day that it cast a huge shadow even to now. We wanted to see that beast again. We wanted to believe he could tap into it again. Instead, we saw the same result from him in the McBride fight.
@@hatchetmouth8211 he's 60 years old, do you know the difference in athleticism between a 30 years old and a 60? this isn't an anime where you tap into an energy and the laws of biology suddenly changes
Tyson himself said he wasn't going to lose, he even said he can't phantom himself losing and he even told that female reporter "You did't hear me? I said I'm not losing" They also did everything they could to promote Tyson like he was in fantastic shape and showed glimpses of him looking like a prime Tyson on the pads and in sparring. Ofc. smart people knew they just edited everything to sell the fight, but you have to understand a lot of people bought the idea that Tyson would be fit and game for at least a couple of rounds. The reality was that he wasn't healthy enough to do a single round at a decent level and clearly knew he wouldn't stand a chance going into the fight. He suckered everyone in for an easy payday. He tried to say "The money from this fight won't change my life" implying he took the fight to beat Paul to prove a point or something. Although it's a known fact that he was bankrupt a few years ago. He was literally desperate for a payday.
The real reason Tyson lost, was because 2 weeks before the fight, he had a serious ulcer operation and was not recovered. He could not bob and weave light he normally does. If you saw him sparing just a few months ago, he was a beast
Ahh, come now. The Jake Paul fight was a straight-up charity gig for the Mike Tyson Pension Fund. Doesn't he deserve it? After all the decades of entertainment he's given us - inside and outside the ring. The fans have set him right and I'm happy for Mike.
Mike should've asked for the rounds to be just 1 minute long, but even then, it wouldn’t have changed his stamina, which was never strong enough. Some things you just can’t outlast, no matter the time.
My heart wanted Tyson to win but my mind was telling me Jake Paul was going to win. For the first minute Tyson looked scary then after that he went down hill. I'll always love and respect Mike Tyson and I commend Jake Paul for not hurting Tyson but Jake Paul owes the people a real fight now.
This weekend was an embarrassment not only for American boxing but also for Americans. A young guy acting tough bc he beat up an old man. An old man getting into a fight he shouldn't have. Yet this filled a 70,000 seat arena & attracted 60 million viewers. Gone are the glory days when real American fighters dominated combat sports including MMA. Let's face it, Aspinall is coming for Jon Jones' title soon. Which leaves only Terence Crawford, at 37 years old. Even the best players in the NBA & MLB are foreign now. American dominance is a thing of the past.
I think Mike was injured in there too. He was old (54) for the Roy Jones fight, but he looked way better there. That much difference between 54 and 58 is not just normal aging. He had a knee injury and probably wasn't fully recovered from the surgery a couple months ago, but fought through it because he already postponed once and you can't guarantee there wouldn't be other problems come up after another delay. He wanted that payday and doesn't have unlimited time for stuff like this. Just fought through it and hoped for the best.
A few years ago Mike fought Roy Jones and looked alright!! I was expecting more of that Mike coming out, not that man we saw on Netflix. This fight was a ( here is 20 million dollars Mike for retirement we appreciate what you brought to the sport)
Boy, was that ever good for boxing, just like everything else Jake Paul does. One good thing came out of this for me...I will never watch another Jake Paul farce again, don’t give a fuck who he’s in the ring with.
OKAY YOUNG MAN HES HOPING FOR UR REACTION OLDER FANS ARENT SO GULLIBLE IF U BOX THAT FIRST BODY SHOT HAD JAKE JUMP IN CRY IN PAIN GO WATCH SOME SLOW MO LMAO THIS IS A SHAME MIKE WAS RIGHT MUHAMMAD ALI WAS THE GREATEST HE DIED WITH THAT RING HES THE ONE ILL REMEMBER NOW
Everyone’s been buying in so hard on Jake Paul fights because they want to see him knocked out so badly that they are actually willing to let themselves believe guys like Ben Askren or a 60 year old Mike Tyson could win…. Or that a fight against Mike is going to be legit. I thought guys like Dave Portnoy would bet on Mike purely for the publicity after the fight via Dave going on a rampage about the fight being fixed… and even a bigger payout by suing MVP productions for allowing bets on a glorified soaring match.
to the general public's credit, we only watched it bc we all already pay for Netflix and there was not much else on tv at 11pm EST Friday night. This would have gotten a fraction of the views on traditional PPV.
The reason why it was what it was is not age - at least not only! The biggest reason is, that Tyson had no interest to "come back". Big George on the contrary had a vision to gain another title. He trained hard for a long time - championship level training! Iron Mike did nothing like that - not at all. He was enjoying his life and he knew that it is very likely that he gets out of there without too much damage! For him it was just another paycheck.
We weren’t all suckers lol I didn’t buy in at all, I was super happy when the fight got cancelled the first time…I’m just glad Mike came out of the ring ok 💯🙏🏻
Boxing may be in a tragic state right now if you only follow boxing through social media whenever a non-boxer has a celebrity fight, but actual followers of the sport should be quite happy. We had Fury v. Usyk, Beterbiev v. Bivol, AJ v. Dubois, Ford v. Kholmatov, Ortiz v. Bohachuk, Haney v. Garcia and that's just the ones I recall off the top of my head. We're still going to have another Fury v. Usyk fight and both Gervonta Davis and Naoya Inoue are still fighting this year. Some fighters in their prime right now will be forever remembered as some of the best in the sport and some of the fights we've had in the last few years are some of the most exciting in decades, so I really don't know what you're going on about when you say boxing is in a tragic state.
What are you talking about? Boxing has never been in a better state with all the Saudi cards. You're just not a boxing guy. Who cares about celebrity fights, they've got little to do with boxing.
@@olaasteman2071 Fair enough, the state of boxing in the minds of people who don't care about boxing is probably quite tragic, but fortunately that's completely inconsequential and has nothing to do with the actual state of the sport. I sort of get your meaning, though, as it is quite sad to talk about boxing with people who only hear about these Jake Paul fights and think that's the best boxing has to offer nowadays.
Tyson looked amazing in 2020. The footwork was there the hand speed was there. And he threw punches throughout each and every round. He was still sick and should not have fought after almost dying in July
Teddy Atlas. You know that Mike Tyson has enough boxing IQ, Technique and Muscle Memory to have ended that fight first round. Any other analysis outside of that, you’re just playing Media games Teddy. This was a loose Choreography, a theatrical Play.
@@LevurfLevurf I agree with you 100 percent. I did not expect Tyson to go all out every round but certainly he could have “ tried” to repeat the 10 second training clips we all saw of him even once or twice each round while taking the remaining minute and half each round to recover. The fact he did not seem to even “try” to repeat those 10 second training clips we all saw only leaves unanswered questions.
Agree. Tyson was pulling his punches at the beginning. There were times where he had a clear opening, was well within range, but did nothing. I was watching it with my son and laughed out loud on a few occasions where it looked fake. The slap was fake too - that's obvious because Tyson has shown he likes Jake.
@@hardtoke Agree. I think Tyson could easily have taken Paul in the early few seconds of each round. Paul could have taken him when he was gassed, but they were just sparring, and not trying to hurt each other. Tyson may have no stamina compared to his younger days, but he's still got far superior head movement and boxing ability than Jake Paul. Tyson was pulling his punches and lacked any kind of aggression, right from the beginning...
Ill say this: Tyson was why i tuned in, But fight 2 and 3 were actually really good. I dunno enough about boxing rules to know if leading with your head is wrong, but it was certainly a brawl.
Jake looked terrified throughout the fight, he was never sure whether Mike was going to break the contract or not. I think that's another reason Jake thanked him the way he did before the fight had even ended. Although hurt, Tyson had the potential to end it at any time, especially in the first round. I was guessing that if Tyson didn't KO Jake in the first round, which was obviously possible and his best chance, then the fight was rigged, which later on became so obvious.
You are delusional. Paul went easy on him and could have finished Tyson at any point. Tyson was hurt and wobbled and Jake let off the gas. Ya it was rigged. But not in the way you think.
The fight reminded me of the old Saturday Night Live skit “Middle-Age man” where the guy in his 50’s still thinks he’s got it but ends up always hurting himself.
I didnt expect a 20 yrs old Iron Mike but my god, this was way, WAY far from what we see in sparring. I mean, i was feeling sad to look at it. I'm 58, same as Mike is and at some point, i was like "do i realy look like him when i walk ? jittering, unbalanced, not looking straight on my feet ? unable to do anything like i did before, even for 10 sec ? than i rememer that for the last 4 years, i renovate an old house, go on the roof to remake it, make some walls, bring everyting on the second floor withtout using any help and dit it for 8 hrs straight so thinking that an ex pro boxer same age as me could do 10-15 second burst was not expecting that much from him. I guess i was wrong.....
Bullshit... There wasnt even an effort on Tysons behalf, it must have been some contractual things that if were publicly known, would have changed expectations, this is essentially fraud imho.
Once mike started getting tagged he became humble the killer instinct faded and he went into a shell sadly the exact same way it would happen towards the end of his career
I am waiting for a lawyer to file a class action lawsuit against Netflix, Tyson and Paul for false advertisement....the public was promised a real fight but got an exhibition match where neither side was trying to knock the other side out.....I was surprised that Tyson stooped to Paul's level.....there goes his legacy up in smoke....
Mike used to be 5' 11 and 1/2 ", now he is 5' 10''. That is what happens when you age. I'm actually impressed that he performed as well defensively, as he did. He also took some shots and ate them pretty well.
Obviously Tyson's age was a big factor. However just as big a factor was the way his strength and conditioning coaches conditioned him. They conditioned him to be a bodybuilder and not a fighter. All that weightlifting made Mike tight which took away his speed and velocity on his punches. The weightlifting also ruined his balance and stamina.
If they advertised it for what it was . An exhibition where we got to see an old champ get in and have fun for a few rounds . That would have been better . People thinking Mike would look young again drank the prime cool aid
Whats fun to watch nearly 60 yr old dude fight a 60yr old dude...they did their fights when it counted... might aswell watch Larry Holmes vs George Foreman...
I don't think AGE was Tyson's issue, I think it was HEALTH. HUUUUUGE difference. Also, as much as I hate him, I gained a lil respect for Paul for NOT knocking Tyson out when clearly he could have. I've heard about handshakes, contracts, etc, but I choose not to believe all that mess....too many damn conspiracy theories these days.
Mike acted like he was really in training and then didn't even fight. He didn't even try to fight but just practiced his defensive head moves is all he did. Mike took the 20 Million and bailed.
UFC is another type of sport. A lot of people don’t like seeing somebody on the floor getting their head smashed in with elbows and knees. Too grotesque, too savage, too wild & too evil.
@@albertovelezjr Agreed but bro no one has ever died in the UFC, boxers die like once a year - boxing is far more barbaric as the entire sport is geared towards the ability to punch your opponent in the head as hard as humanly possible without breaking your hand.

@@birdinio1111cmon Tyson was totally gassed by the 3 rd round ..Paul could have seriously hurt Tyson from that point on but noone wanted to see Tyson get hurt
@@20yearsofblueskies Again, go look at his performance against Roy Jones 4 years ago and tell me there is no difference. Of course it was scripted. Did you really think it was real?
@@birdinio1111 Bro the Roy fight was 4 years ago😂😂 😂😂 Tyson is almost 60 now and had to pull out of this fight 4 months ago because he had blood transfusions back in the summer. Tyson had 1 leg and lucky he even was able to walk down to the ring without falling. Sorry that your old hero lost but if you actually think the A side of the fight voluntarily lost to a UA-cam kid when he could have easily won you are not that bright. 😂😂 😂😂
The problem is not that tyson is 58, but that he was SICK and INJURED. He almost died in June. He had 8 blood transfusions. He lost half his blood and 25lbs in hospital and he had to fight to get healthy to fight. Then he had a kneecap, which was injured in the knee. Even when Jake hit him, without him being rock, he was wobbly from not being able to stand up straight on his legs. PROOF OF THIS? - Mike was rushed to the hospital because he started vomiting blood - Just look at the fight he had just 4 years ago, Mike Tyson, 54 years old, the same, 8 rounds of 2 minutes and he did NOT get tired like that in the 8 rounds, he got tired in only 2 rounds.
The fight wasn't fixed. A big, strong, young man beat up a broken-down old man who was once a great fighter -- a long time ago. Paul obviously likes and respects Tyson and didn't want to hurt him or knock him out, which he easily could have done in the later rounds. This fight should have never been sanctioned. Tyson could have been seriously hurt.

How could anybody expect anything more then a complete 💩 show?? Tyson hasn't had anything left since he was 35 yo. Now at 60 he's gonna impress?? GTFOH
Mike tyson is now a disgrace to the boxing community. Cant walk the walk anymore, a sellout and will be known as that the rest of his living days. No balls.

Jake punched Mike as hard as anyone he’s fought. He hurt and old man it’s not impressive. Watch the first few rounds again. He clipped Mike with that big right hand on the chin that Mike countered and he was off balance for 3 rounds almost. Add that to back problems, sciatica, bad knees come on man he. His punch resistance not what it was. Jake tried with all his might to knock him out. Caught him with 4 big left hands while he was off balance. Dude he could’ve really hurt Mike. That was not staged that shit was sick
@@Payne33 It was def rigged!
@Payne33 Are you actually saying Paul hit Tyson as hard as Lennox and Holyfield?
Jake Paul mocks the sport, no one with credibility in the sport should give him the time of day
Everybody gives him the time of the day , he’s one of the biggest names in the sport whether you like it or not
What do you think about Mike, now that he did?
JP does not, those who made him and pay to see him do.
🥱😂@@AVERUNS
@@AVERUNS because he is a fraud 🤡
I’m sorry, but that wasn’t the same Tyson from his training videos.
After the videos ended, Tyson was sitting down taking oxygen for 30 minutes or more.
its the same guy. he was there for the first 60 secs
they’re clips for a reason , Tyson can’t be that explosive for round after round . He’s 58…
Yeah, because carefully selected 10 second edited clips on pads are TOTALLY an accurate representation of what can be done in 8 × 2 minute rounds with a much healthier & fitter guy hitting back...
We all knew he couldn't go like that for 8 rounds, but Tyson just didn't have the leg speed like he did and he couldn't get to Paul and he was getting hit when he tried and Paul can crack. Jake Paul is not elite but he is a competent boxer and has defeated some good fighters.
Anyone expecting anything other than what we got were hoping for miracles.
i didn't expect mike to win, but i didn't expect him to look that bad......
That or they're casuals. The majority of the population is absolutely clueless when it comes to boxing.
With all due respect am I being unreasonable to believe Tyson could show 10 seconds of what he showed us in his training routines? I didn’t expect Tyson to be able to go full out for each 2 minute round but one or two 10 second spurts in each 2 minute rounds I don’t believe was unrealistic given Tyson’s training videos. Instead now there is questions about what happened. I mean my gosh for 7 rounds Tyson did almost nothing and you expected that?? Really?? Jeepers I’m 69 years old and have never boxed in my life but I could have chased Paul around better than Tyson did. I mean seriously?? We are talking about Mike Tyson here who showed us 5/10 second training clips where he looked like a 20 yr old Tyson for that 10 second clip and he couldn’t even try to repeat those 10 second clips once or twice in each 2 minute rounds??? I don’t know the answer to why Tyson did not show what I expected but I def disagree with you that our expectations were unreasonable and that we should have expected what we got.
we were all hoping for miracles. But at the very least i think we expected that Mike would be able to move around and throw a punch. He looked 100 times worse than vs Roy Jones. He clearly didn't do any sparing or serious work that should have made him think it was ok for him to do this. A trainer should have been able to work with him and see him move and put him vs a young guy in training to see that he was not capable of this.
Guilty as charged....
When I saw the knee brace I knew it was ALL BAD! I could tell 35 seconds into the fight that it was an exhibition at best.
Yep
I wish it was the exhibition, he fought much better
Nothing mentioned about the knee support at anytime until Tyson was walking up to the ring.. it’s an easy cop out to not want to knock JP out and take the full purse offered to him for the conditions of going the 8 rounds and losing. It’s that simple he sold us all a little bit of a fairy tale.
when I saw that his trunks were not all black but had some advertising on them, thats when I knew he was squeezing every drop of money out of this as possible. He is not in it to win it or to resume his old character that intimidates his opponent. He had no bad intentions, no bad look on his face, stare down nothiing.
im surprised his trunks didnt say "Netflix" or some shit
Half the punch output of the Roy Jones fight, half the level of accuracy. This is the biggest scam in modern sports history. Someone actually has to pay for this. We have 480 million stolen from people.

I don't blame Tyson at all. He got one more handsome PAY CHECK to pad his retirement. It was a great opportunity! At 58, this was his last chance for one more lucrative bout and a sweet paycheck. Why not? Regular working class guys work their whole careers to accumulate maybe just one million. A hundred years from now few people will even know or care about who Tyson was or his legacy. Also, cheers to him for making it through the entire fight at 58 years old without getting hurt of knocked out by a husky 20 something guy in his prime. I hope he can hold on to the money this time and not blow it and be broke in his old age like Joe Louis and others.
Teddy Atlast knew Mike Tyson from a kid. All of us fans don't know Mike Tyson. So Teddy Atlast is speaking as someone who truly knows this man
Thats the biggest fact, Tyson fans think they actually know Tyson based on his documentaries and interviews...but in reality they know nothing...
He got kicked out of camp by Cus super early on, he knew Tyson when he was 15 years old but after that he didn't have anything to really do with him, Cus, Rooney etc.. Are you the same person you were when you were 15?
Tyson peaked and his prime years where under Cus and Rooney.
@@Joel0991 thats still points that dude knew Tyson better than any fanboy who behaves like he knows Mike and that pretty much everything he said about Tyson was spot on.

I had a Netflix account, and I was able to watch a Tyson fight with my son. I was 11 when Tyson beat Trevor Berbick.
I have much respect for Teddy but as long as you guys continue call Jake Paul a genius and continue to pat him on the back for simply scamming people such as yourselves, I question your character. If your barometer for success is simply cashing in on a profit, then you guys are part of the problem. You two are contributing to the downfall of boxing. I dont gamble. Maybe if I did I would think differently but I dont. Its been obvious from day one, Paul is a bullshit artist. Who cares if he fights washed up mma guys or 60 year old boxers. This was a waste of time. Utterly useless and you two should know better.
You can go broke selling vegan snacks or make cash selling triple cheeseburgers with double fried bacon. You can't blame the businessman who sells morons what they want.
Paul is a genius because normally, early career fights are no risk fights against no-names. However, Paul is fighting no risk fights with names people recognize so that it can be monetized. That’s brilliant. MMA guys that can’t box and a 58 year old. It’s no different than fighting no-name guys, but he’s learning as he goes.

That match was the WWE of boxing. Freak show. The way Tyson walked slowly back to his corner was sad.
You can shear a sheep many times, but skin him only once. The sheep was skinned on this one. Who in their right mind will ever tune in to watch another Paul farce?
Whatever. This was clearly always meant to be an exhibition match.
It was fun for a lot of Gen Xers.
It was nostalgic.
Seeing 58 year old Mike Tyson train that hard and get back into that good a shape probably inspired a lot of people in their 50s to get off their arses and get active.
Yeah I'm not seeing the downside here. Tyson got paid, we had something to watch on a Friday night instead of scrolling through our phones and there were two amazing fights before it. These are the same people who get mad about reboots and sequels.

@@cainblo1 Actual fights still make good money. Bivol Beiterbiev did awesome, Usyk Fury two is going to make serious cash, Canelo always pulls in good money, Ryan Garcia, tank, etc. And honestly, Jake Paul is the only celebrity pulling big numbers in boxing. He's also brought some fans to the sport. I know my nephews watched him vs Tyson, and hopefully that will lead them to watching actual boxing when they're older.
@ agree there is some but for the majority . They will never see a 20 million purse . Canelo made 35 for his last fight . A multiple championship level fighter. Still made less than Paul.

Yeah more like 86-88. but he looked better against roy jones jr i think thats why they expected more

@@insomb he aged out. All the greats do. The difference is Tyson doesn't give a shit about pissing on the fans to make a paycheck. He took everyone's money to take a dive to a Paul brother 😂
It was a prearranged agreement. It goes like this: They agree to NOT go full tilt and try to knock the other guy out. The only question was would they stick to the agreement. Would either one decide to say screw it and go for the KO. I think Tyson did go for it in the first round. He almost fell down trying to go inside and he got hit. So at that point, Tyson chilled out and only threw 2 punches per round. They did their little dance and Jake did enough to get the decision as scripted. Jake also took mersey and did not try to KO Mike which he could of anytime after the second round. They both suckered the world and got millions.
What you posted is not scripted. Tyson going after Paul for a KO in round 1 would be off script to begin with. What happened is exactly what to be expected. Tyson is 58 years old and has gas for 1 round and thats what we got. Only boxing rubes thought different. Paul obviously held back because he already had the fight won and there was no good upside of Paul being aggressive at the end since.....
1. Beating up a 58 year old man with 1 leg that had blood transfusions a few months back on a record breaking Netlix audience would have been far worst PR than what he got and could have could issues with athletic commissions ever approving a circus like this again.
2. Paul being aggressive technically could have opened him up to a freak flush shot even if very unlikely. again he already had the fight won so he gets no upside on being aggressive.
The slap at weigh in was clue that it was a set up &no one changes the script once show starts
@@darrenjohnson7857 yes because we all know tyson has never overreacted at a face off .

Tyson himself said he wasn't going to lose, he even said he can't phantom himself losing and he even told that female reporter "You did't hear me? I said I'm not losing" They also did everything they could to promote Tyson like he was in fantastic shape and showed glimpses of him looking like a prime Tyson on the pads and in sparring. Ofc. smart people knew they just edited everything to sell the fight, but you have to understand a lot of people bought the idea that Tyson would be fit and game for at least a couple of rounds. The reality was that he wasn't healthy enough to do a single round at a decent level and clearly knew he wouldn't stand a chance going into the fight. He suckered everyone in for an easy payday. He tried to say "The money from this fight won't change my life" implying he took the fight to beat Paul to prove a point or something. Although it's a known fact that he was bankrupt a few years ago. He was literally desperate for a payday.
Egg zactly
The real reason Tyson lost, was because 2 weeks before the fight, he had a serious ulcer operation and was not recovered. He could not bob and weave light he normally does. If you saw him sparing just a few months ago, he was a beast
Ahh, come now. The Jake Paul fight was a straight-up charity gig for the Mike Tyson Pension Fund. Doesn't he deserve it? After all the decades of entertainment he's given us - inside and outside the ring. The fans have set him right and I'm happy for Mike.
I loved it. I got to see Mike fight again. I knew he was 58. If you thought an old fighter was young I have a bridge to sell you. I was entertained.
Mike should've asked for the rounds to be just 1 minute long, but even then, it wouldn’t have changed his stamina, which was never strong enough. Some things you just can’t outlast, no matter the time.
Thanks!
My heart wanted Tyson to win but my mind was telling me Jake Paul was going to win. For the first minute Tyson looked scary then after that he went down hill. I'll always love and respect Mike Tyson and I commend Jake Paul for not hurting Tyson but Jake Paul owes the people a real fight now.
This is the truth. We all fell for it.
This weekend was an embarrassment not only for American boxing but also for Americans. A young guy acting tough bc he beat up an old man. An old man getting into a fight he shouldn't have. Yet this filled a 70,000 seat arena & attracted 60 million viewers. Gone are the glory days when real American fighters dominated combat sports including MMA. Let's face it, Aspinall is coming for Jon Jones' title soon. Which leaves only Terence Crawford, at 37 years old. Even the best players in the NBA & MLB are foreign now. American dominance is a thing of the past.
What boxing needs is a dominant young heavyweight world champ that's knocking people out , we don't have that anymore not even close
PT Barnum said 80 years ago and it remains fresh. "There's a sucker born every minute"
He never said that. Fake News. 📰
I think Mike was injured in there too. He was old (54) for the Roy Jones fight, but he looked way better there. That much difference between 54 and 58 is not just normal aging. He had a knee injury and probably wasn't fully recovered from the surgery a couple months ago, but fought through it because he already postponed once and you can't guarantee there wouldn't be other problems come up after another delay. He wanted that payday and doesn't have unlimited time for stuff like this. Just fought through it and hoped for the best.
A few years ago Mike fought Roy Jones and looked alright!! I was expecting more of that Mike coming out, not that man we saw on Netflix. This fight was a ( here is 20 million dollars Mike for retirement we appreciate what you brought to the sport)
That was four years ago when he had less health problems and legs that worked against an older and less powerful man.
Nobody knew how bad it would be. We ALL got suckered. It was way worse than anybody thought

Everyone’s been buying in so hard on Jake Paul fights because they want to see him knocked out so badly that they are actually willing to let themselves believe guys like Ben Askren or a 60 year old Mike Tyson could win…. Or that a fight against Mike is going to be legit. I thought guys like Dave Portnoy would bet on Mike purely for the publicity after the fight via Dave going on a rampage about the fight being fixed… and even a bigger payout by suing MVP productions for allowing bets on a glorified soaring match.
to the general public's credit, we only watched it bc we all already pay for Netflix and there was not much else on tv at 11pm EST Friday night. This would have gotten a fraction of the views on traditional PPV.
Whats the difference between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul?
Mike Tyson isnt afraid to fight someone Jakes age.
He was anxiously biting his glove by the second and done by the third.
@BrooklynAvenue Wrong comment. Both to reply to and to leave. Go away.
FVCK celebrity boxing, they hype it up and let us down.
this fight was better scripted than the Rocky franchise movies. What a joke.
The reason why it was what it was is not age - at least not only! The biggest reason is, that Tyson had no interest to "come back". Big George on the contrary had a vision to gain another title. He trained hard for a long time - championship level training! Iron Mike did nothing like that - not at all. He was enjoying his life and he knew that it is very likely that he gets out of there without too much damage! For him it was just another paycheck.
We weren’t all suckers lol I didn’t buy in at all, I was super happy when the fight got cancelled the first time…I’m just glad Mike came out of the ring ok 💯🙏🏻
I agree. I knew it was a pre-determined outcome.
We were hoping it was the Mike Tyson from 4 years ago that sparred Roy Jones. That would have been epic
Boxing is in a tragic state right now. The biggest draw of the year was a nostalgia fight with Mike Tyson 35 years past his prime.
Boxing may be in a tragic state right now if you only follow boxing through social media whenever a non-boxer has a celebrity fight, but actual followers of the sport should be quite happy. We had Fury v. Usyk, Beterbiev v. Bivol, AJ v. Dubois, Ford v. Kholmatov, Ortiz v. Bohachuk, Haney v. Garcia and that's just the ones I recall off the top of my head. We're still going to have another Fury v. Usyk fight and both Gervonta Davis and Naoya Inoue are still fighting this year.
Some fighters in their prime right now will be forever remembered as some of the best in the sport and some of the fights we've had in the last few years are some of the most exciting in decades, so I really don't know what you're going on about when you say boxing is in a tragic state.

Tyson looked amazing in 2020. The footwork was there the hand speed was there. And he threw punches throughout each and every round.
He was still sick and should not have fought after almost dying in July
Teddy Atlas. You know that Mike Tyson has enough boxing IQ, Technique and Muscle Memory to have ended that fight first round. Any other analysis outside of that, you’re just playing Media games Teddy. This was a loose Choreography, a theatrical Play.
@@LevurfLevurf I agree with you 100 percent. I did not expect Tyson to go all out every round but certainly he could have “ tried” to repeat the 10 second training clips we all saw of him even once or twice each round while taking the remaining minute and half each round to recover. The fact he did not seem to even “try” to repeat those 10 second training clips we all saw only leaves unanswered questions.
Agree. Tyson was pulling his punches at the beginning. There were times where he had a clear opening, was well within range, but did nothing. I was watching it with my son and laughed out loud on a few occasions where it looked fake. The slap was fake too - that's obvious because Tyson has shown he likes Jake.
The old man gassed out, no conspiracy here
Hate to say it but Mike took a dive for the money.
sort of, paul could have KO'd him after the first round once he was tired. they are both fakes really and wouldn't hurt each other
@@hardtoke Agree. I think Tyson could easily have taken Paul in the early few seconds of each round. Paul could have taken him when he was gassed, but they were just sparring, and not trying to hurt each other. Tyson may have no stamina compared to his younger days, but he's still got far superior head movement and boxing ability than Jake Paul. Tyson was pulling his punches and lacked any kind of aggression, right from the beginning...
Ill say this: Tyson was why i tuned in, But fight 2 and 3 were actually really good. I dunno enough about boxing rules to know if leading with your head is wrong, but it was certainly a brawl.
Jake looked terrified throughout the fight, he was never sure whether Mike was going to break the contract or not. I think that's another reason Jake thanked him the way he did before the fight had even ended. Although hurt, Tyson had the potential to end it at any time, especially in the first round. I was guessing that if Tyson didn't KO Jake in the first round, which was obviously possible and his best chance, then the fight was rigged, which later on became so obvious.
Why would Tyson need to rig it? Why not just KO Jake? Whats Jake going to do? Sue him for not fixing the fight? 😂🤣
@vlcheish 🤣🤣
You are delusional. Paul went easy on him and could have finished Tyson at any point. Tyson was hurt and wobbled and Jake let off the gas.
Ya it was rigged. But not in the way you think.
The fight reminded me of the old Saturday Night Live skit “Middle-Age man” where the guy in his 50’s still thinks he’s got it but ends up always hurting himself.

I didnt expect a 20 yrs old Iron Mike but my god, this was way, WAY far from what we see in sparring. I mean, i was feeling sad to look at it.
I'm 58, same as Mike is and at some point, i was like "do i realy look like him when i walk ? jittering, unbalanced, not looking straight on my feet ? unable to do anything like i did before, even for 10 sec ?
than i rememer that for the last 4 years, i renovate an old house, go on the roof to remake it, make some walls, bring everyting on the second floor withtout using any help and dit it for 8 hrs straight so thinking that an ex pro boxer same age as me could do 10-15 second burst was not expecting that much from him.
I guess i was wrong.....
Bullshit... There wasnt even an effort on Tysons behalf, it must have been some contractual things that if were publicly known, would have changed expectations, this is essentially fraud imho.

Mike used to be 5' 11 and 1/2 ", now he is 5' 10''. That is what happens when you age. I'm actually impressed that he performed as well defensively, as he did. He also took some shots and ate them pretty well.
Obviously Tyson's age was a big factor. However just as big a factor was the way his strength and conditioning coaches conditioned him. They conditioned him to be a bodybuilder and not a fighter. All that weightlifting made Mike tight which took away his speed and velocity on his punches. The weightlifting also ruined his balance and stamina.
He didn't train. Only for a few minutes for the cameras.
@@GregM-ws4hq He looked pretty muscled up and cut for someone that didn't train. He trained, just not the right way.

Boxing was doing great the last couple years. After this it went 100 steps back. Embarassing for the sport .
Holyfield's last fight wasn't so great, but he tried his best
Hey teddy where can I get a shirt like that one you’re wearing?
Jake Paul did everything he could to keep Tyson from getting hurt and I appreciate that.
😂😂 The other way round. Tyson held back multiple times. Look at the contrast between the Roy Jones fight and this one. His approach/aggression etc.
100%
@@birdinio1111cmon Tyson was totally gassed by the 3 rd round ..Paul could have seriously hurt Tyson from that point on but noone wanted to see Tyson get hurt
@@20yearsofblueskies Again, go look at his performance against Roy Jones 4 years ago and tell me there is no difference.
Of course it was scripted. Did you really think it was real?
@@birdinio1111 Bro the Roy fight was 4 years ago😂😂 😂😂 Tyson is almost 60 now and had to pull out of this fight 4 months ago because he had blood transfusions back in the summer. Tyson had 1 leg and lucky he even was able to walk down to the ring without falling. Sorry that your old hero lost but if you actually think the A side of the fight voluntarily lost to a UA-cam kid when he could have easily won you are not that bright. 😂😂 😂😂
"We all bought into it" .. speak for yourself, Teddy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The problem is not that tyson is 58, but that he was SICK and INJURED.
He almost died in June. He had 8 blood transfusions. He lost half his blood and 25lbs in hospital and he had to fight to get healthy to fight.
Then he had a kneecap, which was injured in the knee. Even when Jake hit him, without him being rock, he was wobbly from not being able to stand up straight on his legs.
PROOF OF THIS?
- Mike was rushed to the hospital because he started vomiting blood
- Just look at the fight he had just 4 years ago, Mike Tyson, 54 years old, the same, 8 rounds of 2 minutes and he did NOT get tired like that in the 8 rounds, he got tired in only 2 rounds.
oh yeah being nearly 60 didnt have any impact...
@@andrew7932 And the fact that he did drugs for the past 20 years.
Teddy how can I get one of those T-shirts
Lol Teddy knew in his heart this fight was fixed on top of the fact that Mike is 58 years old.
The fight wasn't fixed. A big, strong, young man beat up a broken-down old man who was once a great fighter -- a long time ago. Paul obviously likes and respects Tyson and didn't want to hurt him or knock him out, which he easily could have done in the later rounds. This fight should have never been sanctioned. Tyson could have been seriously hurt.
@@johnistheway bud it was rigged if u believe any of that ur insane Tyson bit his glve literally to not throw u can watch body language must be a young super young man
@@johnistheway lmao ill pray for ya when jakes get knocked out by some one pro at a high level his age not paid off and not old af lmao hes built this up so when he is good he will have the hype lmao

How could Tyson look so amazing in training, and not bring that into the ring????
People are going to say there's a difference between training and an actual fight, and they'd be right. However, I think there was TOO MUCH of a difference here...
How could anybody expect anything more then a complete 💩 show?? Tyson hasn't had anything left since he was 35 yo. Now at 60 he's gonna impress?? GTFOH
The boxing night was not a total lost since the undercards were very good such as Serrano vs. Taylor, Barrios vs. Ramos, Green vs. Watpool, etc.
Tyson got rocked with a couple good shots and never got his legs back. Jake decided not to go for the kill. End of story
Jake Paul vs George Foreman.Foreman is 75 that makes him old enough.
I’m starting to feel boxing is fake now like the wwe 😂😂😂😂
Hey Teddy. Did i see you on Grafton Street in Dublin a few months ago?
Fight was fixed… you can see that Tyson pulled his punches in the beginning and Jake eased up near the end…
Mike Tyson is an all-time icon in American history. He's a fabric of this country please stop disrespecting him.
lets not sports wash now. amazing boxer, but did some terrible things too.
@ratbird3290 He is a fabric of America
He disrespected himself by participating in this fight
@@dl30wpb He did more in one year of his life than Jake Paul could do in a lifetime
Disrespectful behavior earns you disrespect no matter who you are. No one is above reproach.
Mike tyson is now a disgrace to the boxing community. Cant walk the walk anymore, a sellout and will be known as that the rest of his living days. No balls.
Jake's win over Tyson makes him one of the greatest boxers to ever live. Those are the rules!
teddy is personally scared of MT… wont say the whole thruth but saying “ SUCKERS” is so on point, props for saying that much!!
Even on his death bed i would expect more energy from tyson!
Teddy atlas has always spoken common sense, top man, great character and tyson was lucky to have him around in the day
I went to see the fight. The fights were good. I can say I saw Tyson fighting live.
