    I don’t see how Paul wins here at all. Either he beats up a 60 year old man or gets beat by a 60 year old man. There’s no way to look good in this.

      He won 40 mil and Mike won 20 mil.

      It was dumb, we paid attention, Tyson cashed in. Nobody was hurt. They both won.

      Hit the old man enough to win by decision but not actually hurt him. That’s the only real winning path - and exactly what happened.

      Meh it’s the 60 year old man’s decision to fight. Your argument is in the same vein as “you can’t fight against a woman”. If they want it, so be it.

        That’s not a fair comparison, age matters, most people don’t get smarter or stronger when they grow old. More fair comparison would be “you can’t fight against a child”, some children are quite strong for their age, as Mike definitely is for his age, and some eager children would surely want to fight against a professional in his prime. But there’s no point for said professional to fight them apart from a show match, and you don’t destroy children or elders in a show match even of you can.

        Other then the fact of “money” I don’t see why Tyson did this. He’s a fuckin legend and he knows he’s better then this hothead youtuber. Paul his boxing pants are worth 1million because it’s full of diamonds. How far from reality do you want to live. But whatever.

          It’s not unheard of for boxers to get in the ring after their prime for exhibition matches. Why wouldn’t they want to get more out of their career
