It was a show to begin with. People wanted to see Mike Tyson fight and that's what they got. It's just that the Mike Tyson we saw in the ring was 58 years old Tyson, not 29 years old. 

It was scam, people were expecting a fight, not tyson standing there biting his gloves all night. Just look at the way they edited him going all crazy at the bag and mits hittting with power. Clever of them, to show moments put together in chain, but didn't show tyson puffing out of breath 2 seconds later. They deceived the public into thinking tyson can fight and was roaring to go.

If tyson was short on money and desperate, he could have had a gofundme to help out. I'm sure millions would have chipped in. I would have given some money. But to stage a fight like that, is just bullshit. I've lost all respect for mike.  And i was a fan of him for over 30 years. 

Dude's a literal rapist and this is where you draw the line.

The first three rounds were good from Tyson. But frankly, if people expected something else, it's really their problem. Personally I think the fight was better on Tyson's part that I expected. I know everyone wanted to see Tyson beat the shit out of Paul, but at the same time everyone knew it wasn't going to happen.

Of course, fights like this have no actual purpose and there's nothing in stake, so they're really not interesting, but I still wouldn't call them a scam.

Mike Tyson is nearly 60. He requested 2 minute rounds because he knew 3 minutes would be rough. It didn't stop him from gassing in the second round.

KOing a 27 year old who has shown he knows how to fight is a lot more difficult for him now than it would have been in 1988. Think about it, Tyson had severely declined by 22 years ago. Lennox Lewis toyed with him before KOing him.

Yes he is old, and yes he requested those, because he can't maintain full fight of 12 round with 3 minutes each. That's clear. However the fact he is old, and does not have much stamina, does not turn off the fact that he could win by KO in the first or the second round. He had the power. All over the web there are videos and explanations how the fight was staged, rigged, and that Tyson choose the money over the fast win. And you deny all of that ?

Sure Paul can outlast him in stamina or longevity on the ring, but Tyson does not need outlasting or having enough stamina for the rounds past the 2nd, since he could easily knocked him out. He had many opportunities. Again, Tyson got paid, for the match to be what it was. Scripted. Tyson's power was always in the beginning of the matches. He does not need stamina or the young age, to be able to last till 6 or 8 or 10 round. And if it wasn't paid, Jake was done.

The fight with Lennox or even the previous losses has nothing to do with that.. First of all Paul is far from Lennox level in 2002. Second, Mike wasn't training enough for his 6 losses, and his personal life was a mess which also very much affected him in the ring too. Also for Paul he don't need to be prime like in 1988. He just needed the money he got payed for that rigged match. Surely Mike is weaker than himself in 1988, 1990, or even 1995 if you want. But he is still strong enough to knock out guy like Paul who only chooses old fighters and the one time he chose someone his age, he lost.

I would hope that the allegations are false.  And either way, MT is in a better place these days.  He's at peace and his family loves him.  And his daughter seems to not feel uncomfortable around mike as well.  So, i guess i'm ok with Mike.  

If he is in fact responsible for any of that then he needs to take ahold of himself and stay on the good side for the rest of his life.
