Boxing has taken a nose dive in terms of popularity. Just now what it used to be. Couldn’t name any other active boxers besides Tyson Fury

What’s funny is people WANT to like it. Millions wanted to watch a fight tonight…and couldn’t.

Just watched the replay this morning. And…LOL. That was pathetic. The women’s fight was 1,000x more interesting.

Boxing has an opportunity to be back - except this is the garbage people come up with??

It was clearly scripted.

If all fairness it was a great night of boxing minus the main event. Minus Netflix not understanding that a billion people would be logging on and they could not keep up. Also, it was free. Good boxing and high profile boxing matches are never free. So I have nothing to
Complain about. Oh so Mike didn’t knock his head off. It went about exactly how I thought it would. I’m 50 and boxed a month wgo. Just sparred and my body felt like I got hit by a car. Can’t imagine another 8 years on my body

I don't think everything was scripted... but I definitely believe that Paul was specifically told not to embarrass Tyson.. and don't knock him out. It will be a win-win for everyone... Paul wins in a decision, but Tyson is able to say he can still hang in there at 58 years old.

It was a joke... HUGE grift.

Reading here and seeing the comments on social media I’m so glad I didn’t waste a second of my life watching that **** show. Although I will admit following along with people’s reactions was entertaining!!!!

I think Paul realized Mike didn’t have the ability and carried him. I don’t think he wanted to knock Mike out after he realized Mike was old and could not bring it.

Paul looked really thick and slow compared to “insert any Ukrainian champ of past quarter century”.

This is like if a random YouTuber played Magic Johnson in 2024 and it got higher ratings than NBA Finals because our entire culture has completely permanently jumped the shark.

Mr. Beast vs Michael Jordan, think of that YouTube monetization!

Eh, boxing is a dying sport. MMA is the prime combat sport now. These are boxing's last gasps.

Btw Jake Paul should keep doing exactly what he is doing. Fighting MMA guys and old boxers. He is making a crap ton of money. He will never be a champion level boxer. So keep fighting these types and make your money.

I feel like eventually people will lose interest in the gimmick. I figure he's got one more big payday when he fights a real boxer and gets his ass kicked and then he'll move on to other dumb influencer stuff.

Yeah but if you can pull even 5MM for one of these, most of us would be willing to do it.

I'd like to believe last night was such a pathetic product that his limelight is fading out. Who is going to give a **** after that stupid display?

Honestly think that anyone who watched is a sucker. Granted, everyone already has Netflix. If you subscribed, just to watch...yikes.

Granted, I do stupid things all of the time, so welcome to the club.
