    I honestly get along with him. He works with some on the guys at West Coast 503. I don’t know him well at all but I never had a problem with him.

    asking me to post concrete ideas, is like asking the Blazers to trade picks for superstars

    One of two things is going to occur if this fight actually happens.

    Either Tyson is going to put something on Paul Ajax won't take off and knock his ass into next year

    Or

    Jake Paul is going to beat up an almost 60 year old man.

    Either way, not a good look for Paul.

    Yeah but he doesn't care about look. He cares about money. This fight will make millions upon millions.

    Fighting an old man is a no win situation. If you lose you lost to an old man. If you win you beat an old man. This applies to women also. Never fight with a woman.

    Or--if he loses, he lost to a former world heavyweight champion, and if he wins, he beat a former world heavyweight champion.

    It's all about how you choose to frame it.

    One thing is for sure, while both Paul brothers are complete and utter twats, they both know how to promote themselves.

    This fight is a complete sham. They are just gonna spar with two minute rounds and then collect boatloads of cash. Lame. I'll still watch it, though. Lol

    I don't think they're going to be sparring at all. I think both guys will try to knock the other out. If Jake Paul can't knock out an old man then he will never be taken seriously as a boxer and he really seems to want to be considered for sanctioned championship level prize fights. If Mike Tyson can't knock out a guy who really hasn't had to fight any credentialed professional boxer it will humiliate him whether it should when he's 58 years old or not.

    I'll be shocked if it's a legit fight and they're both actually trying to knock each other out. But I hope that's the case.

    The way Tyson is laughing and pretending to push him, says it all. It's a money grab. Sham fight.

    We'll see. I think both guys have a definite incentive to knock the other out. My prediction is that either Tyson lands a big punch that Paul can't handle or Jake will overwhelm Iron Mike. I think the former is more likely.

    Jake Paul is a total act. This is just dollar tree comedy wrapped up in the “future of boxing culture”.

    almost idiocracy levels of relevance ultimately. Should be scary but the pop world is pretty gimmicky currently.
