The worst part of this whole thing is that Netflix paid Paul 40 million dollars for this farce, plus 20 for Tyson. For that price they could have completed The OA, or Sense8, or Lockwood, or Glow, or 1899, or Santa Clara but no we get 20 minutes of some smug youtube asshole punching an old man. Fuck Netfflix.
Or Santa Clarita diet or Mind Hunters or Space Force or
”You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself beat to death by Jake Paul…”
Boxism hype machine:"Keep in mind that Carter is undefeated, so this could go either way!"
"But what about the reports of Carter's dementia?"
"Actually that could be a great advantage for the former President, not getting tangled in Logan's past moves"
"And what about the rumours about Logan's last matches being rigged"
"No, this is completely different, it will be quite a challenge this time. I'll give it 50/50"
50/50? Paul would easily get his ass kicked in a real fight against Carter!
A real fight being a basic cognitive test? I'd definitely put my money on the 100-year-old over the guy who regularly gets hit in the head.
To balance the odds, Carter will be issued a pump action shotgun and 8 rounds of 00 buck.
Will the gun be mounted on his wheelchair cuz otherwise I think the recoil might take them both out 😬
Even with the years he has as a disadvantage, I would not have bet against Tyson.
It was genuinely surprising that he didn't win.
To be fair, it went to the judges, and they decided that Tyson didn't do as well as what's-his-face.... And looking at the numbers, it wasn't by much.
Say what you will about the man himself, but Tyson knows his sport and he's damn good at it.
With all that being said, what a crock of shit to waste so much time and effort so that some YouTube wannabe can match up against a retiree. Tyson won more fights than pretty boy has even officially fought, before that dickhead left his daddy's nutsack. Let me put that another way, there was no time in this guy's life where Tyson had yet to win a championship. He's been a world champion for tube boy's entire life.
As far as I'm concerned, Tyson was in it for the payday. Win or lose, Tyson was walking away on top.
I'm convinced it's all just an attempt to improve his statistics, making the average age of people he punches roughly around his own age.
Someone call up Connor McGregor, we need to find the old-man beating world champion
Rico Verhoeven maybe?
