Tyson vs Paul Tonight!

[darthseinfeld]

For 20 million? I'd throw a fight. While it was an official fight, it really was just an exhibition match. Both guys held back.

Whats Tyson got in the account these days? ( Outside of 20 million) I know he had some money troubles a while. Tyson Mysteries did surprisingly well for him though

He might have but there was a stipulation in the Tyson contract that he wasn’t allowed to knock out Paul. This was all a show to try bringing back relevancy to a dying sport. It went swimmingly under the Jerrys’ Bigtop

This is what I was told as well. This was an exhibition, not a real fight. Tyson had Paul running around in the first two rounds, then shut down completely. Everyone, including myself, thought Tyson was out of gas. But was he? Or was that just Tyson letting Paul know what he could do. Not once did Tyson throw his signature punch. The one that put Buster Douglas on his back. I think Buster was the only boxer to ever survive that punch.

Yea, he clearly backed off after round two. He didn’t throw any of his signature combos and didn’t hit back much. Tyson was definitely slower but he could have went on the offensive if he wanted to. Scripted to let Paul win in a decision. It was more like the WWE
