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.

[-] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 136 points 1 month ago

He won 40 mil and Mike won 20 mil.

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

[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 51 points 1 month ago

Yeah, but I would have really appreciated it if Paul was hit KO. Would have made everything just a bit nicer.

[-] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

Oh yeah, it would have.

I think if tyson won, they'd just get him to keep fighting weird fights.

"fight this baboon"

"fight this kangaroo"

"fight this pack of hot dogs"

"fight for your right, to paaaaaaaaartayyyyy"

I'd definitely watch Tyson take on all 3 of the Beastie Boys. Especially if the Boys dressed up in their Sabotage costumes.

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

I would pay to see it, but I have a feeling one of them won't be much of a challenge.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Is this really how I find out one of them died? Holy shit...

[-] amorangi@lemmy.nz 10 points 1 month ago

No, one of them went to live on a farm upstate

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Sorry to report, it's been a while that MCA hasn't been alive.

[-] 200ok@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Your comment is how I found out. Damn.

[-] anzo@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago

With or without the robot? FWIW Beastie Boys already defeated the Backstreet Boys on February 4, 1999...

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

He tried to fight a gorilla at a zoo one time. They didn’t let him.

[-] abbadon420@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

Yes, same reason I would've liked GOT to have a proper final season. It's for the story telling.

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

Well I think it’s pretty fair to say a lot of people were tuning in to see him get his ass beat. He’s made a career out of being a piece of shit that people want to see get knocked out. So he wins by us all hating him because if we’re hating him we’re paying attention to him.

[-] Bigfish@lemmynsfw.com 48 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 17 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

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

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I wouldn't fight a woman just because she wants it. I would feel horrible beating her up.

You have to understand that just because someone wants something, it doesn't mean they are thinking straight. You shouldn't take advantage of that.

[-] TechieDamien@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

Bold of you to assume that you wouldn't be the one being beat up.

[-] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 month ago

It can happen, but statistically adult man vs adult woman is not a fair fight.

I knew a guy at university; started going out with this smoking hot girl. She was a regional champ in jujitsu; it didn't last long, turns out she was a violent piece of shit. Beat him up twice, he left after the second one. She had major anger management issues.

But you turn that story around a little, similar situation, girl has same anger management issues, but without the training etc, she is unlikely to be a threat to any adult guy.

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I think it's batshit crazy that this has to be told to people these days. Are they competely unaware of the physical differences between men and women?

Have Hollywood movies become reality for those people?
