This November has started off with a tragic loss in our country. I'm talking about the fight this recent Friday on November 15, between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. I think we all could agree that we wanted to see this retired old man beat this wannabe ex-Youtuber, but unfortunately that isn't how it went down.
Jake Paul has been under fire in the past few years for his overall absurd behavior and controversy surrounding the women in his life and certain allegations that shadow him. He has been slowly falling out of relevancy, resorting to beating up retired 50 year old men to maintain his spotlight in the public. No, I am not kidding, he has only fought one current fighter, Tommy Fury, and lost that one, so "The Problem Child" of boxing was in a predicament and needed a way out.
On the other hand, Mike Tyson, convicted rapist, and now 58 year old retired and heavily injured man, had his own issue, he was broke. This raised concern for his life and his children's future.
This led these two to the fight that occurred this past Friday, where Tyson was given a certain deal by Paul. Fight him, allegedly rig the fight in favor of Paul, in exchange for 20 million dollars for Tyson and his kids future, leaving Paul with immense popularity and bringing him back into the public eye, fixing both of their problems simultaneously. As a result, we saw what happened this past Friday, a tragic attempt to mimic pro boxing. Despite that, they both got what they sought for, and neither seem to have any regrets. Congratulations Paul, you beat somebody's grandpa, and congrats Gramps, you got some money in exchange for some dignity.
