Seen more competitive fights in my middle school hallways
It was disgusting that Jake accepted this fight to begin with. I second that im glad mike got the bag but Jake took advantage of that. Was f**ked up. Jake wouldn't have lasted 10 seconds in the ring with Mike in his prime. Mike would have eaten that little pu**y alive. We all know it.
Dope interview Stephen a smith and shenon❤😂😅
He looked Old HES 60!!! Boxing is an embarrassment and idiots gave them 20 million dillars unbelievable
What did you expect? The man was pushing 60 years old.
Embarrassing
In all seriousness, if the debate about Jordan is was he the best of the 8o's and the 9o's? He was definitely the best in the 9o's but the other two might have something to say about the 8o's? If that's what that debate is; then definitively we have to say Tyson was the 3rd best of his generation. He couldn't beat Holyfield and he couldn't beat Lennox Lewis. You have to place Tyson 3rd in his era. So I guess technically speaking I'd be more shocked if Lennox Lewis lost that fight. At the end of the day the big debate here is Paul Wall isn't fighting anyone his own age. He's not fighting any no-name young up-comer who doesn't care how much money is on the table. I assume at this point he's a big enough name to carry a fight with an unknown.
People thinking this was a real fight is hilarious
Tyson 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This fight was staged, Tyson was holding his punches in the first round
I am starting to wonder if EPSN and other sports producers are telling their talking heads to not dare say it was scripted. I don't believe either of these men believe this fight was legit but the second they try to disenfranchise Jake Paul as a boxer, they lose a ton of future media coverage. Just a microcosm of the media in general. Some topics must always have legs.
A scripted joke and Stephen is a fool
Stephen A. Was also taken in by this fake fight?? The gullibility in this country is unbelievable.. Have any of you seen the training videos of tyson recently?? He dang near looked like the old tyson at times. Nothing like conning millions out of the lack of common sense..
lol im suprised many people still watch this excibition fight lol fast cash,too many excuses lol tyson has injuries yet jake proudly sayi beat the best in the world lol
LOL…😂 HE STILL THE BEST!
Shannon blinking 💀
There’s so much instances where Mike could have went for his head just on instincts…. at the end he was tired but Mike did hold his punches in early rounds
Mike a sellout
Even at that age Tyson could had knocked him out in just 3 rounds. He wasn't aggressive at all. The fight was 100% scripted. And Jake Paul isn't a boxer mr. Stephen but he is a great self promoter. To be a boxer you must have amateur record at least 2 years.
shame on Jake Paul!
Many people lost a lot of money… they simply got ripped off
Terrible fight. Just a cash grab. Nothing more.
MOLLY BLINKS NORE THEN BLINKY FROM PACMAN
Tyson got PIMP by a white boy thought I would have ever seen this 😢😢😢😂😂😂
Tyson isn't George you can fight old
I am happy that Jake Paul was compassionate. I never liked him before, but he showed compassion when he could have hurt Tyson and chose not to. That is respectable, shows he is a real person deep down.
Shannon is DEAD on
JP made 40M
Tyson made 20M
I saved 14.99 on my Netflix subscription
Mike didn't even throw anything. He didn't try to fight.

I’m a new subscriber and a fan of your work. I respect what Jake Paul’s done to build his brand, but let’s keep it real. Anyone who’s been in the fight game knows the mental grind before a fight — the adrenaline, the nerves, the focus. It's real.
But when Jake steps into the ring, it feels more like he’s at a parade than a serious fight. He’s treating it like an event, not the battle it is. I get the hustle and the entertainment side, but when you’re about to face someone like Mike Tyson, that energy’s gotta be different.
Real fighters know what I mean — it’s a different level of intensity.
Fr if you think about what I said the obvious he is not so obvious and Jake comes out and his face already be showing it’s rigged I’m just hoping someone who take pride over ,only and knocks this jay cat out hahaha respect though he a business man can’t hate th8
Mike held back Jake tapped Mike on the shoulder & after that Mike looked “old” #Sticktothescript & cash out 🤝🏾
JAkes brothers said he was scared for his life on MSNBC. JAkes first words wer.. thank God he stuck to the contract… Just an over glorified spRing zession
Mike could have easily knocked Jake out in the first round. The only reason why he didn't is because the fight was fixed
