These two guys fight tomorrow night on Netflix. Do we think this is going to be a real fight or some pre-planned money grab? I really hope it's a real fight because I think it would be entertaining. I can't help but root for Tyson. Also...is this fight free if you have a Netflix subscription or some add-on?

This is not going to be a real fight.

I'm crossing my fingers that Paul will go in believing it's not a real fight, while Tyson goes in with the goal of knocking him out. But I don't think this is a real fight for Tyson either, and I don't think at 58 he's physically capable of knocking Paul out.

I just can't believe I'm now 50 years old and still getting ready to watch Tyson box. Would've never believed that in 1989.

I remember paying $60 to see him bite off Holyfield's ear. Everybody was pissed.

I'm gonna watch and hope it's real and hope Tyson knocks him out.

I don't think it's a real fight. My hope is Paul does something stupid and pisses Tyson off and he just snaps. Probably won't happen, but a man can dream.

Tyson is 58 - it's not real fight and never was. Even if both actually try.

Tyson is 58, but he's still Mike Tyson.

He and Roy Jones Jr. weren't trying to hurt each other, I believe they had a gentlemans agreement.

I don't think such a thing exists here. The 14oz gloves are going to be a factor though.

I hate the 'influencer' generation. I hate kids being on the stupid phones all the time. I cannot stand the 'look at me' influence of social media. I do not know anything about Jake Paul...other than he looks like a giant ******, and is an 'influencer'.

I know Tyson is 58 and no matter what kind of shape he is in, at 58 you simply do not have what you had in your younger years. HOWEVER, I am hoping he has ONE good punch left in him. JUST one. Hit that kid so hard, one time, that its a KO.

Please, please, let this happen.

Are 14 oz gloves considered light or heavy?

Its a lot of cushion. You can still get the hell knocked out of you, especially by an artist like Tyson, but that still a fair amount of padding.

UFC gloves are 4oz for instance. Not a lot of padding at all.

Song in my head while reading this thread:

I ain't as good as I once was
My, how the years have flown
But there was a time back in my prime
When I could really hold my own
But if you wanna fight tonight
Guess those boys don't look all that tough
I ain't as good as I once was
But I'm as good once as I ever was

RIP Toby Keith

I'm leaning toward real for no other reason than this…

Quote:

The Texas Athletic Commission agreed to sanction the contest which means the result will count to each man's professional record. Jake Paul's stands at 10-1. Mike Tyson's stands at 50-6.

Clearly you haven't watched the fight training videos of Tyson
He is faster and stronger and hits harder than Paul

Tyson will KO him in under 30 seconds econds on a real boxing match

True… $60 was a lot of money back then!

Tyson may be 58, but that dude is probably on the finest steroids that money can but.
He will have lost quickness, but I'm sure he's still hovering around 75-80% of the power he had 35 years ago.

I would love to see him bust up Jake Paul.

There is a good Jake Paul documentary on Netflix about him getting into boxing. Can't believe he doesn't beat Iron Mike based on how Mike talks about him and how he is good for the sport in a "fixed" fight.

I'm waiting patiently for Jake Paul's inevitable spiral into total obscurity. It always happens with these types. He's young and brash but this type of fame has an expiration date and his is quickly approaching. He's 27 so he's just young enough that people will somewhat tolerate that type of obnoxiousness. He'll be doing some pathetic reality TV show on TBS in a few years followed a few years after that with a pathetic comeback attempt that fails horribly.

It will be glorious.

If Mike gets in close he's going to start hooking that body. I would not want to be on the receiving end of those to my ribs.

What time do y'all think they enter the ring? I think the undercard (3 fights) starts at 7 central.

We were just asking ourselves this and my friend group settled on 8 PM Pacific (10 PM Central). Could obviously be earlier though.

I think he'll sleep ok on his mattress stuffed with millions in his mansion.

Is he the one made Prime drinks? Had to make a killing off of that considering how many kids gobbled them up.

Online says three. Friend of mine says five. You're saying six.

This is why I never watch this **** anymore.

Like literally every other sport, they should just tell us what time the main event starts!

You think someone like that is investing wisely? Haha.

Both Paul brothers have their hands in many different things.

They're no longer just influencers making money off TikTok. They're legit entrepreneurs.

Obnoxious and annoying as humanly possible but they're smart and I expect they stay around for awhile.

This says 6. I hope it's less because, otherwise, it's going to be a later night than I would prefer.
