Mike got $20M, so good for him.

If this was mentioned here I missed it. Michael Irvin is saying the fight was fixed to the point Tyson could not throw upper cuts among other agreed to rules.. Anyone else see this report.

No, but Tyson definitely wasn't looking like he did with his training vids and such. I realize he's old but I watched the fight and didn't look right.

I was trying to embed this to save you guys clicking a Twitter link, but I don't see why someone would pull back this punch if they were trying to win a fight. This is just one example.

Class action lawsuit already been suggested in some articles I read based on the fact it was a sanctioned fight that bets were taken on.

 

[Jason Snyder]

If people passed it off as a sanctioned fight, knowing it was fixed, prison sentences are in the future. Pretty big accusations.

that video clip says it all,,,Jake was wide open and if Tyson would have went forward with that punch it could have very well KO'ed Jake.

 

[GSPHUNTER]

To me the tape looks fake, doctored.

Did people think this was anything other than entertainment? It was WWF with gloves on.

I mean, most boxing isn't on the level...but this side show? Lol

 

[Fatcamp]

I could only take the first two rounds yesterday, but found it puzzling that what was shown in training clips of Tyson working mitts and a heavy bag was completely absent in the fight.

No power combinations. I find that odd. Oh well.

That’s what I said from the beginning. I can’t believe people actually thought it was going to be a fight.

Tyson is a 58 year old man. He’s not going to get in the ring for a full blown fight with a juiced up 28 year old. We saw how slow and old he looked in the Roy Jones Jr fight. This was about making money.

 

[pacoalcracker]

58 or not, I still think Tyson could have dropped that punk in 2 rounds if not for specific rules to protect the punk. The punk knew this, hence the rules.

I was stronger and better fit at 58 than I was at 40..and i'm still stronger and better fit now at 64. You don't have to be able to run a marathon and bench 400 to KO an opponent...especially a cocky one.

 

[Ambush]

Tysons pre fight interview during the girl fight was the most entertaining part of the night. LMAO!!

 

[intunegp]

Jake's manager apparently went on a rant about the allegations that the fight was fixed...

"A lot of people comment, like and share. We're in an attention economy. People say outlandish things to bring awareness to themselves.

It's a sad state of society that people want to spend their time like that."

The lack of self-awareness is painful.

My feed started spinning right as Mike was walking in
Doesn’t sound like I missed much

Money fight. Imo, it looked like two friends sparring.
“l’m going to kill him” was just cheap talk.
