Tyson vs. Jones Jr.

I want Holyfield.

 

I guess smoking a joint before the bout mellowed Tyson out a little.

Snoop Dogg kept making jokes about this while commentating. It was actually pretty funny.

 

Maybe this is due to my lack of knowledge regarding boxing, but I'm not sure I understand how Tyson was not declared the winner.

 

I haven't seen the fight but don't forget that this was an exhibition. That makes a draw much more likely, in my opinion. Everyone walks away happy with lots of money and no damage to their reputation.

 

It was going to be a draw no matter what happened. It was technically an "exhibition", and the Athletic Commission that sanctioned the fight was doing everything they could to keep it from being called a competition for liability reasons.

and now this...

Floyd Mayweather will box YouTuber Logan Paul in February - CNN

 

If people would quit paying to see this kinda bullshit, then this kinda bullshit would cease.

 

Floyd broke already?

If you can market something to the masses that is mildly entertaining, and is $39.99 you will become very rich. Most people don't blink at spending less than $50 for a few hours of entertainment.

 

Panem et circenses... But only after you have your vaccine.

"If you don't eat ya meat... you can't have any pudding!.... How can you have any pudding if you don't eat ya meat??? Stand still laddie!"

 

If you want to see,probably the best fight of all time, pull up Quawee - Jones.

 

This your obligatory get off my lawn post for the day? Not gonna lie, a buddy and I have already decided we're gonna split the cost to see "this kinda bullshit," just like we did for Mcgregor/Mayweather and Tyson/Jones. I'll gladly throw down $25 to see Logan Paul get KTFO in about 15 seconds And if we're lucky, maybe some of the other fights will be decent.

This is no different than the bagger race from Laguna. Purists of the sport probably think it's dumb as hell. But the casual viewer/non-hardcore enthusiast finds it rather entertaining. That's me with fighting. I don't keep up with the shit, just know some of the names and have seen the occasional fight because it's to big to miss entirely. So these publicity stunt fights are honestly quite entertaining for a lot of folks like me.

 

Yeah, probably.

I guess I'm just still bitter about the last time I ever dropped coin for a PPV event. The undercard was semi-entertaining, especially the chick fight, but what was supposed to be the main event with ""the baddest man on the planet"" ended sadly with a bitten-off ear.

I swore, never again.

 

Hearns/Hagler was a good one also.

 

Very true. The thing that struck me about Quawee Jones was how far the fight went from one side to the other. At different points, each man looked like he was done, and then he wasn't. Dudes fighting with will above body.

 

Just watched the fight. My god the announcer was a Debbie downer the entire time talking about how they’re old, winded, slow, not in their prime. Jeezus man, you must be fun at parties.

Tyson won that one.

 

I still haven't bothered.

And I noticed that it wasn't on entensity.net the next day. Kinda tells me all that I DIDN'T need to know about the bout.

 

Both Leonard/Duran fights, the Gatti/Ward trilogy, Chavez/Taylor...

I miss boxing before it was ruined. There’s so much talent now that we should be seeing legendary fights every weekend, but we don’t because promoters.

 

Agreed on both counts. I couldn't believe that the announcer was on the promoter's (or broadcaster, I don't know) payroll.
