I guess Netflix is paying around $50 to $75 million for this fight.
The fight will be free to stream LIVE for all netflix subscribers.
Whoever smokes the most weed before and during the fight wins.

I can't believe this is being talked about in a serious fashion. Gonna be just like Mike vs RJJr. Sparring until a draw.
Might as well analyze WWE matchups.
i hate how interested i am to find out what scenario comes to pass.
Tyson was an absolute legend. People of all ages tuned into his fights and wanted to see KOs.
Now we are tuning in to see wtf will happen. Will Tyson be amped up on drugs and try to bite Jake’s ear?
Somewhat sad to see a legend in this position having to fight at age 58. But I do have Netflix and will be part of the record setting stream of this gong show.
18 oz gloves and headguards.
apparently it would be so hard for tyson to be sanctioned as a pro at age 58 that they are just going to use training / sparring gear.
I went to Tyson's fight against Lennox Lewis and we were all shocked on just how old he looked in the ring. He was barely moving by like round #4 and towards the end was literally target practice for Lewis. He was in his mid 30s. Now pushing 60, no way this is going to be watchable. People are going to be incredibly disappointed.
I saw an interview with the Rock and he said he literally is training every day and actually has a ring in Florida and Hawaii to train for what will be a limited match in Wrestlemania. He is 50 and said its the toughest thing physically he has ever done, trying to act like he is 30 in the ring. And the outcome is staged.
Now that I think it, this outcome is probably staged as well. No way it gets sanctioned, it would tarnish the sport that already is on life support, at least in the USA. It's a sad state for US boxing the sport never really recovered after the Mayweather- Pacquiao disastrous pay per view.
Negreanu responding to Tyson's post where he showed a training video and asked "Do you still wanna eff with me?"

Garrett. Would you consider fighting Iron Mike after he turns 65?
word on the street is that tyson had a heart attack last night in an airport.

I truly wonder even if he did have a minor heart attack if they’d cancel or they’d try to hide it? Obviously the boxing commissions wouldn’t clear it, but this is closer to an exhibition match that is choreographed similar to WWE. Dude is 57. The purse hasn’t been released, at least last I saw, but I read he’s expected to make at least $25 million and possibly closer to $40 million.
You aren’t seeing another payday like that in your life if your Mike.

real talk he might drop dead in the ring.
I hope Tyson is able to fight. If he dies, he dies.
Despite his lavish lifestyle blowing through millions and his rape conviction, I feel bad that his net worth is likely a few million at this point.
Don King alone likely stole 100 mill from Tyson.
Has anyone ever got a pass for being a convicted rapist in terms of public opinion like Mike? I’m guilty of it also. I sometimes forget he is a legit convicted rapist. It doesn’t seem to follow him for some reason and he’s viewed as this lovable Mike now. I see moms of my generation. hoping he beats up Jake Paul.
I saw something about that Danny Masterson dude the other day. I was thinking about how Scientology connections might have prevented him from being arrested back in 2003, but had he been caught, he likely would have been out in 2 years. Mike served 3 years. Cosby is a more similar case. Multiple victims, old cases, drugging, and he got 3–10 year sentence before they let him out. He probably would have done 2 years anyway.
So while Scientology might have saved him 2-3 years of his youth, he couldn’t have had worse timing to get charged with 20 year old rapes than during metoo with Leah Remini sitting front low lobbying for him to get locked up. He legit does like 2 years in 2003 and got 30-life.
Weird derail, but I recall when Kobe died, half the comments on Twitter referred to him being a rapist for a case they never brought. Never see it mentioned with Tyson.

Now, I don't think a 19 year decided that day to trap him in advance, Mike was hammered it was 2am and she willfully went up to his room out of starstruck syndrome. What was a 19 year old doing with a 25 year guy in a bar anyway at 2am? Yeah I get the 'no means no' argument, my gosh its been jammed down our throat the last few years. But my gut has always said she decided she was raped after the fact, after consulting with her mother who drove the prosecution.Quote:

If he was a predator like Michael Jackson you would have thought another accusation would have happened by now. By his own admission he was out of control at the time, but this was not a guy prowling for women, he just got used to the fact women would go up to his hotel room late at night. Funny thing is most of his boxing earnings happened after he was released from prison, before he squandered it all.
