Is Anyone Actually Gonna Watch This???

[Exhibitman]

I didn't put it in sports because that would be dignifying it...



An old fart and a dweeb...no thanks.

What will they do, play checkers?

Sorry, I read the poster as "A Live Goofball Sports Event".

I have NetFlix, so I'll probably watch it eventually out of curiosity...but likely not "Live", as I don't really give a fudge about it in real time.

Prime "Butterbean" would have probably deposited Jake Paul into the 3rd row. Unfortunately, 59 year-old Mike Tyson, who got beat badly by journeymen 20 years ago, and has been smoking weed almost non-stop ever since, should probably be worried about his health in this one.

Of course, the very likely possibility is this is probably just going to be a sparring session, and both guys are going to be laughing at the rest of us, while Netflix backs up a Brinks truck full of money to both of their front doors.

Certainly won't watch it but definitely hoping Tyson rearranges Paul's brain a little.

I don’t think it’ll ever happen they canceled it once already ,
And July 20th - why so far away ?
So they can both get paid for interviews and podcast for nine months .
Paul’s not interested in losing to a 59 year old and Tyson is not interested in losing to a non-boxing joker

If it is for free, I will watch it. It would be entertaining.

That was the old fight date.

Tyson had a bad ulcer flare-up on a plane flight close to the original date, which caused it to be postponed.

Been re-scheduled to November 15th.

It will happen. Too much money for it not to happen. Whether it will be a legitimate combat event, or an "Entertainment Event", with a pre-determined outcome is another question entirely.

I certainly wouldn't be putting any money on it if you're a gambling person...unless you know the script-writer personally.

Oops .. thanks

Apparently Netflix is using the same live streaming infrastructure as Amazon did for their first NFL games.

+1

It came back just in time to see the bad decision. Reminds me of NFL officiating.

I don't know what Jake Paul does and I don't care enough to look it up. I'm assuming this is boxing.
