Not that any of us lot will care about Mikes retirement pot

But I guess from Mikes point of view, Jake has given him the opportunity too rake up $20 million for 20 mins worth of work.

Sadly, that could well mean he wants more but after that performance, is it wanted?
 
That was so so so so great it makes me sad we don't see this sort of thing happen in other sports. What is the 1994 CL winning AC Milan team up to? Get them to play Man City tomorrow.

No - get them to play Bromley FC tomorrow and watch them (AC Milan) get destroyed or watch Bromley players take it easy on them out of respect.
 
I just wonder how this circus made it into the boxing thread.....shouldn't it just be in the entertainment forum if that is what you call it?

Hopefully it's enough money that he doesn't need to do it again. But he's had financial issues in the past so who knows.

But if he doesn't NEED to do it financially I don't think he'd WANT to do it, purely because it's got to bruise his ego.

That said, he might now be thinking that he can't let this be his last fight and try to chase a last hurrah.

Who knows what goes on in the minds of these ultra competitive, mega wealthy elite athletes.
 
Jake Paul will be thinking he’s best in the world now after beating a 58 year old man. Where’s all the proper boxing gone?

No he won't. Let's be honest. The man is smart enough to con millions out of people's hands. As much as he might pretend that's what he's thinking, he knows exactly what he's doing.
 
How did Taylor vs Serrano go by the way? Sky Sports reporting it as controversial. What do folks on here who watched the fight the full fight think? Deserved win or not?

Incredible fight. Serrano higher volume but Taylor more convincing punches/combinations. I think those calling it a steal are overreacting slightly. The commentary was very pro Serrano which might have influenced the "this is a steal" narrative.
 
Meh, i can easily imagine that it will get slightly more professional and that this is essentially how boxing will continue to evolve, WWE but with gloves

Slightly off topic but I think a lot of it is filling the void left by professional boxing. The heavyweight class has been lacklustre for too long.
 
Couldn't find a thread about Tyson and Paul.

Never would've thought it would be in the actual boxing thread :lol:
 
It is just beyond me how this shite generates money!
Did anyone actually pay to see this?
I don't have Netflix anymore as there are better movies to watch on free to air TV.
 
There must be 10 pages solely for this shit. I don’t think even Usyk Fury had as many posts. So obviously the freak show works
