Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul 🥊 Set for Friday Night, Nov. 15 on Netflix 🥊

[US Egg]

Tonight further proved how irrelevant boxing has become.

 

No one has more aptly reflected, and exploited, the “bum of the month club” boxing idiom than Paul.

A lot of people's childhoods died today 

 

Remember father time is undefeated... Iron Mike thank you for your contributions to boxing

Nah his legacy is the same, his pockets just got lined.

It has nothing to do with his legacy 

 

It has to do with the millions of people who saw him be the youngest heavyweight champion ever 

 

And now  lose to a YouTube Star turn boxer even if he's talented 

 

It's The end of an era 

 

Boxing is dead and the biggest draws are YouTube Stars and this is coming from a die-hard fan

 

Tyson fury is on his last legs and he's been the best heavyweight in the last 25 years... Canelo is good but 70 fights in he's closer to the end then the beginning 

 

Terence Crawford is probably the best boxer alive and no one cares about him

It’ll take a bit for the numbers to come out, but so far - this was the largest live stream ever in history, and crushed the viewership of the AFC and NFC championship games from this past January. It will end 2024 as second only to the Super Bowl as the most watched TV event.

 

Not sure how that proves boxing is irrelevant….

My comment about his legacy was more of just a lead into that interview video with the kid where he just goes real dark real fast.

I'd say he's just a very tense guy 

 

The interviewer was a very bright child and certainly knew that Mike was in fight mode and just different 

 

It absolutely wasn't a buddy buddy interview... Mike is serious when he does not think of his legacy and he doesn't care what people think

Easy to spin it that way given Netflix is the largest streaming service in the world with about 280 million subscribers. To suppose half of them watched the fight tonight, then yeah, it be what you’re proclaiming….but, I doubt half, or anywhere near that did.

…not spinning here. Of course they didn’t get half their subs, but they did beat Fox’s NFC CG 59.7m. It’s far and away the most watched boxing match since the rumble in the jungle.

And they're not watching because of boxing 

 

They're watching their favorite YouTube Star to win or people are watching to watch the youtube star get knocked out 

 

It was not about boxing so yes I agree sadly boxing is dead 

 

I haven't said those words for 15 years and I've been fighting it... After tonight 

 

I don't know where the future of boxing is going... It's not that the talent isn't there.. there are some really talented boxers 

 

Nobody cares about them 

 

Nobody cares about usyk or bud Crawford

As I just explained it has nothing to do with boxing 

 

And this is coming from a die-hard pugilist
