Mike Tyson Vs Jake Paul? (1 Viewer)

Sure, WWE is scripted and everyone sort of smiles.
But that's exactly why you cannot bet on WWE, right?
Real boxing with real betting is never remotely ok to fix, is it? Or do I not understand gambling and boxing?
To say this is a fixed fight seems remarkable to me with zillions bet on it.

I don't think Tyson/Paul is "REAL" boxing. Can I leave it there?

This thing isn't even sanctioned yet.....

I could be wrong but I don’t think there’s any chance this gets sanctioned, I think they know that and really don’t even want it to be sanctioned, and they just want it to seem on the up and up.

Sure. One can find books to bet on just about anything. But I think most are still on the "State gambling regulators have all banned betting on the WWE and other popular wrestling promotions. This is because wrestling betting would involve wagering on scripted matches rather than genuinely contested bouts such as betting on UFC fights around the world."
I think it's remarkable a fight like that, with this much money on it, would be fixed.

De la Hoya should know better than to listen to anything Paul says. He says what will make more money. Of course he isn't serious

You have a point. I mean, ask Nate Robinson, Ben Askren and Tyrone Woodley if it was fake. Those dude got brutally knocked out.

Weren't those actual fights where both guys were trying to win?

Which ones were not trying to win?
Weve accused Tyson of taking it easy on Roy Jones Jr. Jake has fought questionable opponents but the fights all seem to have been up for grabs.

I don't think this will be. Tysons last fight sure wasn't, and this is just the mega money grab.
I will predict this though, whatever lead up to the fight and outcome would produce the most money for the future....,...that's what is gonna happen

No.
Throw the fight = 1 fighter is in on the ruse.
Fix is in = both fighters are in on the ruse.

Thanks @Leeroy Jenkins for that clip. He's a super interesting guy.
I see this one a lot. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4vjIzwudwa/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
I don't mean to belabor the point wtih my GB GM, but I just have a hard time seeing the guy conceding to fixing a fight. Maybe he's totally changed. People do change. But I have a hard time believing he'd throw away and make a mockery of all that he was for years.

I don’t think he threw that fight. I think he was high and he is old and hadn’t fought or trained for like 20 years. Roy Jones had fought more recently and is an all-time great. It was a true exhibition without a crowd.

Count the number of headshots he threw
Sure. But that's not going to change the fact I have a hard time believing he'd throw away and make a mockery of all that he was for years. I fully understand you do believe that and that's cool. We just disagree.

If you were in Vegas and saw Tyson +300 would you be tempted to throw a few bucks on him to win? That's a really juicy line available to bet on one of the scariest human beings who has ever stepped into a boxing ring to take on a Youtuber. Seems almost too good to be true. I'm still highly skeptical this is legit, but I'm curious what the bettors will do here.

I don't think he can win. I don't think he will have the power or reach to knock Paul out, and I don't think he will have the stamina to go more than a few rounds.
Tyson will be 58 when they fight - and he wasn't the most disciplined trainer when he was in his prime...

it is likely of no coincidence that all the training footage released for Tyson is 3-5 second clips concatenated together.

In Week 1 of the NFL season, Dallas went on the road and, behind Dak Prescott, destroyed the Giants 40-0. Meanwhile, the Jets lost Aaron Rodgers. In week 2, those Jets had to travel to Dallas to face the Cowboys on their home turf with Zach Wilson as QB. They were about +300 in that game, which then ended up losing 30-10 after Wilson threw 3 INTs.
I can't wrap my head around the equivalence "Mike Tyson is the Zach Wilson of Boxing, while Jake Paul is the Dallas Cowboys". At least not in any real, legitimate, normal boxing match.

When everyone that contributed to that article says it was a “draw”, the quotation marks tell you something. It was a show, plain and simple. Neither of them were trying to win. And in that link they say Tyson clearly “won”, but it was declared a “draw”.On Tyson's last appearance against Roy Jones, Jr.

This will be the same. And correct me if I’m wrong, unless it’s a sanctioned fight, no real sportsbook will take action on it correct?

He was awesome in the hangover. He had a cartoon, Mike Tyson mysteries(which was hilarious). He sells/promotes weed. He’s just looking to make money. Iron Mike Tyson’s legacy is secure. This is a very smart GIANT money grab. It will be a draw, setting up a rematch which will be ppv

The old mike Tyson is emerging.... the on edge ...mean and unpredictable Tyson . Jake Paul underestimated the 58 yo Tyson and thought he could get a big payday vs the weed smoking ***** cat Tyson , but hes gonna get the Untamed Tiger Tyson. I bet any amount of money Paul ''gets injured'' right before the fight goes down just to get out of it .

I'd love to take that bet. I would think there would be a market for it here. Surely Netflix has a contractual out if the fight is cancelled.

If this is legit Paul is going to sleep. I don’t care how old Mike is. He’s a former unified world champion with all that experience.
Jake has fought dudes where boxing hasn’t even been their main sport- except for Furybro, which he lost. He couldn’t even finish Nate Diaz, who was virtually defenseless because his instincts were to grab.
I feel so stupid for falling for this.

The rules sound even worse than we expected
16oz gloves
2 minute rounds
no judges will score fight (winner can only come by knock out, which is unlikely fighting with pillows for gloves)
both fighters must pass EKG and EEG tests (this is mostly to make sure Tyson is fit)
So it is pretty much a pure exhibition like the Roy Jones Jr Tyson fight was.

I agree that it is ridiculous and purely a spectacle, not a real fight. That said, of course Dana White hates anything boxing related taking attention from MMA.

Yeah that sounds about right.
