It was like Tyson said recently, regardless of the outcome of the fight ,he won, since he almost died during an ulcera crisis, having to receive 8 bags of blood and lost 11kg in the hospital,. Being back in the ring and enduring everything was practically a miracle, and he can give his children the opportunity to watch him step into the boxing ring again. Although the event was an exhibition, I think everyone won, Jake Paul, Tyson, Netflix and the audience that watched the fight all over the world.
I watched this legendary fight. Tyson showed himself at the highest level at such an age. I am even surprised that he was able to last so many rounds. You have to give him credit. The man is a legend. There is nothing more to say. But Paul should be more modest. He looks more like an upstart.
Yes, no one argues with the fact that all this is part of a PR campaign. There is simply no way around it. I am interested in another question. Why did they pay Mike half as much? Doesn't he deserve more?
I'm not sure what you meant, but Mike Tyson received a whopping $20 million in this one fight alone and this could be his biggest paycheck for all we know. Yes, he did last for the whole duration of the fight, but if you look closely, his punch output is going down after round two. So you can deduce that he is tiring, and tiring very quick and fast because of his old age.
Yes, we give Mike his credit and due in this fight, but we all know that he is not going to win against a young fighter in Jake Paul. Others including me are disappointed as there are no more actions in the ring between the two.
