Tyson vs. Jake Paul

[marssel]

There's way more than you'd think. A study came out yesterday showing Dallas is the 22nd most wealthy city in the world - we have 68,000 millionaires; 125 residents with net worth over $100MM; and 15 billionaires.

Oh I know there’s money there I lived in Plano, a bunch of my Marines live in Prosper. High School kids drive Lamborghinis, in fact the first Ferrari I drove belonged to a Plano West Linebacker, it was like me owning an old jeep in comparison. It’s a great place to make money imo the Mecca was Venice then Bevs and now its Arlington which feeds the surrounding area, it’s a great bodybuilder place to live. But my point isn’t that people don’t have the money it’s just the ones that do aren’t stupid enough to drop that on that package and the ones dumb enough to spend that are all famous morons. Ie and I’m pro Trump but even pre White House if Trump or Oprah etc. want to meet them and get shit signed they will. Even the ultra wealthy we don’t know as public figures are the people that get that free access, now if you said 500,000 I bet a lot more people would spend that. Again people like Saudi princes could easily pay that but everyone wants their favor and their money would not be needed for the access as they are just too influential. I guy with a couple dozen oil wells might say fuck it I’ll pay 500 K but 2 million, I dunno maybe if it was Tyson version 1986-88 yea and I think he’ll destroy Paul but if he fought young Mike he’d be a first round KO. I mean we saw Tyson coming up and were amazed but not unlike Jordan we didn’t truly appreciate the greatness until after it had passed. Times change obviously we watch it live with Mahomes and say Luka where we truly appreciate what we r seeing is historical. Tyson is a GOAT we realize we didn’t truly appreciate in his time so it’s almost an added air of nostalgia to this fight as well.

I would’ve thought the numbers of millionaires might’ve been higher. It’s really not that hard to attain if you even just used company matched IRA’s and started early

Bruh, that 62K millionaires in one city is fucking absurd.

True but most aren’t anywhere near liquid and remember a million dollars isn’t that much these days. A millionaire in Southern California isn’t living like a king anymore. Yes it’s a lot of money but 20 years ago millionaire meant something big and I think we’ve kind held on to that word as powerful as it used to be. At the end of the day imo no matter what’s in the bank if you don’t own land you aren’t wealthy.

Yes and no. Millionaire was coined decades and decades ago and the “mystique” of it is still there except it’s really not that big of a deal anymore.
It’s just not that hard to obtain after working 40 years or so with reasonable investing
Just after some quick reading, Dallas has 1.3 million people so approximately 5% +\- are millionaires. The percentage of millionaires in the US as a whole is just under 7%.

But with Dallas being rated as as high on the wealth scale I’m sure the averages of multi millionaires are huge compared to other cities

This is spot on what I was trying to convey

I guess it’s finally gonna happen in July. Damn I don’t know about this one. Tyson would’ve destroyed him in his prime but that was a long time ago. He’s 2 years older than me and I can’t imagine trying that with someone so young. Not that I’ve ever boxed but damn my body just isn’t what it used to be

I don’t anticipate this being any more of a real fight than Hulk Hogan & Mr T vs Rowdy Roddy Piper and Mr Wondeful, Paul Orndorf.

I dunno Tyson is already rich again I think Paul is a chump but I think Mike knows his rep is on the line after the hits he took publicly for biting Holyfield. He’s not Roy Jones he’s fucking Babe Ruth of bicing. Yea Ali was great but wouldn’t have a chance with Tyson. He’s king.

That's funny I thought of Thunder Lips and Balboa

This is looking worse for Tyson by the day.

Most major names in the boxing industry are predicting a loss for him and say he shouldn't be boxing at all.

Today he had a 'medical issue' on a flight that of course his reps say will have no impact on the fight - https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/27/sport/mike-tyson-medical-episode-flight/index.html

The article states he had indigestion. I think he will make it. I can't believe I read that and wasted my time.

You wasted your time by not researching further.

This article says indigestion. One of Tyson's reps said it was an ulcer flare up. Another rep for Tyson said it was an issue coming from the plane's air conditioning unit.

That all translates to something happened that they don't want people to know about.

You're not hinting that he had...diarrhea...are you? If so I got to do some more research on this.

I won’t lie I wanna see Tyson win. I think most of us over 35-40 do. His sparring videos look great. You think he’s gonna lose or actually get smoked? Main reason just being age? I just haven’t really seen Paul fight a legit boxer with skill in a legit fight, even when he’s fighting washed up mma dudes it’s all about paper for the mma guys who have his legacy already sealed in ufc. Tyson is a boxer to the bone a loss to Paul would hurt his rep and with all those weed farms he can’t be hurting for paper. Can he?

And I'm just razzing you. I'm sorry. I see what you are saying and hope Tyson is ok. I bet its nothing. This will be like an election where shit starts coming out closer to the event in all shapes and forms to drive up interest. But if it ends up that Tyson had diarrhea then my money is definitely on Paul.

The fight has now been delayed due to Tyson's unspecified medical issue - https://currently.att.yahoo.com/sports/mike-tyson-vs-jake-paul-232941116.html

Please can you post his sparring videos.

So far all I have seen are heavily edited 3-5 second clips of him hitting pads.

Just skimmed this thread again, truly lol at some of the comments about what a killer/monster/assassin/grizzly bear people expect a 60yr old man to be. Thanks again for the laughs.

I read "postponed indefinitely" and the other Paul brother (don't know his name at the moment) was willing to take his place. apparently there's a beef between them. Of course the ratings would be about a 1/10 without Tyson

This should surprise nobody but I bet 99.9% of this board knows nothing about when Japan tried to bring Tyson in, the fight they wanted to make with Bob Sapp, etc. This will go the same way.

 

[Alzadosghost]

What a bunch of bullshit. All of it.

Tyson vs. Paul has now been pushed back to November 15 - https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/40297849/jake-paul-mike-tyson-boxing-match-rescheduled-nov-15

I 100% guarantee this fight will never happen - Tyson's doing the same stuff he's done for the last 20 years when promoters tried to book him in big matchups.
