I didn't even know it was happening and I hate all of you for informing me it happened at all.

Tbf I found out about it last night in a similar fashion lol
Shaq was literally at the fight though...
My eyes don't work when I'm sleeping mate.
Ew wtf is with the dumb ass watermark in the center
I think it's fitting of the community
It's too much effort for a low effort community
Idk I didn't watch the fight but I was hoping Mike Tyson (even now out of his prime) could've knocked out Jake Paul. Sad it didn't turn out that way.
I think this is probably how most people felt, and the powers that be did a great job of taking advantage of it. As a good friend put it- "They got the hate watch on lock"
Wow. I didn't watch the fight because I knew he would take a dive, but I didn't want to believe it or see it. The (no longer) baddest man on earth just threw away his legacy and reputation for a few bucks...
$20 million is one hell of an incentive to take a dive....
It's never enough for wealth hoarding addicts. With a little knowhow and elbow grease, someone can set themselves up for a comfortable life with a measly 50k and become self sustainable. He's addicted to the lifestyle of the rich and the famous.
Man declared bankruptcy in 2003 even though he was making like 30 mil per fight by then. Man just had to have his tigers, bugattis and mansions lol

Say more.
Right? I wonder if this involves living in a van, down by the river.
Depends what you want out of life.
I want a huge house, a car, a tree and the ability to feed my family.
Do your thing, dude. Our modest lifestyle doesn't infringe on your "huge house" aspirations.

I don't think it was a dive as much as it was that he is a 58 year old man with knee problems fighting a trained 27 year old in their prime.
A 58 year old silverback gorilla with a team of doctors pumping him full of roids and other performance enhancers. He had the chance to show the world he's still a beast, but he took the the paycheck to promote JP instead.
JP never faced a proper opponent in a proper fight.
A 27 year old who has never fought a boxer prospect in his own weight and picks fights with MMA fighters who can only throw punches or retirees. In a fight that's almost always a publicity fight.
Boxing is all about cardio. A 58 year old vs a 27 year old when they both train is always going to that 27 year old. Mike Tyson going the distance is still impressive as hell
Though Tyson most likely has quadruple the testosterone of a healthy 27 year old man coursing through his system, on top of whatever other performance enhancers lol
He did make the bookies quite happy.
Tyson has an huge ego, at least he did when he was still professional. He was getting smacked by childish moves me and my brothers would've used. It probably hurts a bit even with the 20 million he got.
I was having sex!
I said I would stick around until it buffered one more time. Ended up going to bed before the fight started. Fight was lost by 0KB.
I don't get it, did people really think Paul would lose?
I don't get it, did people really ~~think~~ hope Paul would lose?
If you were naive and basing your evaluation on talent: yes.
If you were canny to how the shell game works: 😂
did people really think
Sadly no
I don't even know who this Paul guy is, but people seem to really dislike him.
Remember the YouTuber who showed the bodies of men who had died by suicide hanging from trees? This is his brother. Trash people who are good at making people hate them.
Thankfully, no.
Genuinely not sure who it was even for.
If you don't like boxing, you weren't going to enjoy it.

It was for all the people talking about it all the time.
For people who pretend they like boxing?
people who had no idea what was happening until they woke up this morning.
Fuck you lot.
I saw some really good fights that night. Went to an armored MMA event. Did not disappoint.
