Anyone paying for the Tyson/Jones fight? I would watch if it were free, but I ain't paying for that.

I would pay if i could bet on it. But i have no clue how to handicap this. It could be 100 percent rigged and with the stance on this it would also be 100 percent acceptable.

I think Roy Jones is the better fighter at this point, but him winning does absolutely nothing to further this, if Tyson wins, then this goes further down the road.

Plus the true rules for exhibition make this a sparring session, but will these rules actually be enforced?

so this will be a pass for me. will still obviously be curious as to the result.

Fight is stopped for a "bad cut" Whatever that means
No knockouts
How the fuck can you guarantee a no knockout fight

And of course.....because they had to go there

However, while a special ‘Frontline Battle Belt’ with the inscription ‘Black Lives Matter’ will be given to whoever the judges pick, no official winner will be declared.

Why in the world would anyone pay for this:

• 8x 2 mins rounds
• 12oz gloves
• No head-guards
• No knockouts
• Fight stopped if there's a cut
• No official judges or winner
• WBC have ex-fighters judging

Because it's Mike Tyson. The most famous boxer of all time.(i know you could argue Ali, but he didn't have the mystique nor put the fear into people and opponents like prime tyson)

Would be like Michael Jordan coming back to play for a G-League team.

No
Actually it is a bit more like this
Anyone remember this?

1992



On February 28, 1992, two retired legends laced their shoes again, for one final one-on-one game in Atlantic City. These two legends were Julius Dr. J Erving and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the event took place as a pay-per-view with a price tag of $19.95 ($6 of which went to charity)

Don't remember that one. I remember when Shaq and Hakeem were going to do something similar but it got called off. It was around the late 90s i believe. Both were still playing.

Tyson could never beat a good boxer. Evander and Lewis were many times better than Tyson and would probably have beaten him 10 out of 10 times

Nobody with any sense is dropping any cash on an "over the hill show". Just ridiculous.

No fucking way there are so many options for entertainment. This is not one of them.
