I wouldn't put meaningful money on it, but I would lean toward taking a chance on the value on Tyson and over on the rounds. As long as it's been, I still think there is something to be said for having real boxing experience vs mostly beating MMA and other misc guys. And the 2 minute rounds should help. I have tickets, so I mostly hope it's just entertaining however it goes. I am not laying any cash on it other than what it is taking to get in the gate

The possibility of rigging is also why I'd take the value on Tyson and it going over 5.5. He saves face while Paul still looks respectable.

I watched the Spinx-Tyson fight on YouTube yesterday. I think Spinx was 38, but looked about 80. Tyson is so unstoppable he is practically dancing when the fight starts, he's so eager to get to that point of battering him.

---

Spinks was a month short of 32 when they fought.

That one was at least marketed as an exhibition so everyone should have known what to expect. Tyson was also at least a lot more active than Jones. Hoping this one being an actual fight, counting against their professional records, etc. may change that.

Sidenote, Jake Paul put Nate Robinson to sleep with a KO on the undercard of that fight

---

all good points. thoughts on tyson +185, paul -225, or O/U 5.5 rounds?

---

My thought is you shouldn't gamble on something that is probably rigged or scripted.

He figured they were due.

IF you haven't seen the video, Tyson slapped Paul in the face tonight when Paul got in his business. Paul seemed to enjoy it.
I saw a thing on CBS that said the fight might not start until around 11 PM if the rest of the fights go any sort of length.

That looked like some WWE crap. This thing will be scripted and they'll both make a bunch of money. I think I'll just watch the highlights on X tomorrow.

Yep

they won't fight until around 10-11pm right? that's going to cut into aggie yell....

Did Jake CRAWL up to him and then stand up?? Camera was too zoomed in to tell, but that's what it looks like.

Just finished watching the 3-episode documentary leading up to the fight. Tyson's kids seem remarkably normal and well-adjusted. Didn't expect that.

Other than the obvious (money), I can't figure out what the upside of this fight could be for Jake Paul.
- Any scenario in which Tyson wins (KO, Unanimous Decision, Split Decision), the take will be 'Told you Jake wasn't for real, lost to an old man lol."
- Any scenario in which Jake wins, the take will be 'Big deal, Tyson is 58.'

how much is each getting?

Somewhere around 10 would be my guess. Main undercard starts at 7pm with 3 fights - 6 rounds, 12 rounds, and 10 rounds. The 12 rounder has at least a decent chance of being a KO - Barrios is a heavy favorite and has KO'd 2/3 of the guys he's fought

I think Paul is getting $40mill and Tyson $20mill.

I'd fight either for that.

Jake Paul doesnt actually want to be a boxer. He wants to be a boxing promoter. He comes out on top regardless of who wins the fight, and his MVP promotions company draws the attention of his future cash cows.

That slap was FAST

I feel like I'm in an alternate dimension because I'm about to defend Mike Tyson. It looks like Jake Paul stepped on his toe

Pulling for Tyson to bite one of his ears off.

Wish they didnt increase the weight of the gloves so if Tyson does catch him, he feels the full effect.

They basically weighed in the same, 227ish. For Tyson, that's about 5-6lbs lighter than he was fighting at late in his career (and 6-7 lbs heavier than 1980s Tyson). For Paul, that's about +30lbs from his highest weight.

Jake Paul is ready. He had a diamond encrusted ear guard made.
