Essential Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr (Nate Robinson vs Jake Paul undercard) Tonight @ 8PM ET - No Links

[EBK String]

Thought Mike and Roy put on a decent scrap. Would have been nice if Roy was better conditioned like Mike was though. You could tell they weren't really trying to KO each other, going for the head with power etc etc

7/10 experience. Would illegally stream again.

It was a trash fight, Roy barely got a decent punch in and was completely overmatched and out of shape. Mike could have ended him anytime he wanted.

Who wants smoke with Tyson now? From all indication he enjoyed himself and wants to fight again.

A fan decided to take on Mike Tyson after the boxing legend battled Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition fight. According to TMZ, Tyson was leaving Staples Center in Los Angeles on Saturday night when he came across a group of fans looking to get his autograph. A man in the crowd yelled out to Tyson, asking why he wouldn't let the guy fight him. Tyson jokingly said to the man that it wouldn't end well for him, and that's when the man swung at the former heavyweight champion.

TMZ also said the man proceeded to reach into his wristband, but Tyson's team jumped right in before the situation got worse. It was then reported the man took off, but members of Tyson's team indicated they recognized the man from a previous signing. Police officers were called about a possible batter involving Tyson around 11 p.m. PT, but when they responded to the scene, all parties have left and no report was filed.

This fight was originally supposed to be with Holyfield but it fell through and Roy was chosen instead.

Yep. Richard Pryor talked about it in one of his comedy acts.

"I was really good in the gym"



Joe Louis & Mike Tyson said, everyone has a plan until they get hit. You often see world class pros who have been boxing for decades get more defensive and go into more of a shell when they get hit too hard and often. When you're a beginner, every punch is "too hard", and it takes a lot of experience to be able to keep a cool head and apply your techniques under fire.

EARLY NUMBERS INDICATE 1.2 MILLION BUYS.

Tyson vs. Jones Exhibition Nets 1.6 Million PPV Buys, Says Triller Owner
By Manouk Akopyan

Published On Sun Dec 6, 2020, 07:23 AM EST

Mike Tyson’s exhibition versus Roy Jones Jr. garnered over 1.6 million pay-per-view buys, Triller owner Ryan Kavanaugh told BoxingScene.com.

Triller reportedly paid $50 million to land the rights to the fight and charged viewers $50 to order the event. If the 1.6 million number holds, the TikTok rival and social platform will have made $80,000,000 for their pilot program and launch into their live events business.

More PPV buys should be tabulated in the coming weeks as traditional cable operators share those numbers with Triller.

“Despite everyone wanting for it not to work, we upset them by changing things up and making it work and dominated the conversation,” Kavanaugh said.

Shortly after the completion of Tyson vs. Jones, Triller announced that it had formed a boxing program with entertainer Snoop Dogg billed as Fight Club, a separate entity from Tyson’s newly launched Legends Only League.

Triller and Snoop Dogg plan on putting on five to eight PPV events in 2021 following the same structure as Tyson vs. Jones featuring up-and-coming fighters and musical acts — sans the old man exhibition matches.

Tyson took home nearly $10 million for his scrap, while Jones had a $3 million payday. The purses listed for each all-time great by the California State Athletic Commission was $1 million.

Although the match was billed as an exhibition and not a “real fight” plenty of people were still interested in what both fighters had left in the tank.

The event marks the first boxing PPV that has gone over the million barrier since Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin crossed that threshold in back-to-back fights in 2017 (1.3 million) and 2018 and (1.1 million).

Tyson accumulated nearly the same PPV numbers he collected in his 1996 fight versus Evander Holyfield (1.59 million), but couldn't best his 1.97 million PPV number with Lennox Lewis in 2002, or the 1.99 million PPV figure from his rematch with Holyfield in 1997.

The “Bite Fight” still stands as the best-selling heavyweight fight of all time.

For context, the Tyson Fury versus Deontay Wilder rematch earlier this year drew nearly 850,000 PPV buys in what was arguably the most heavily promoted fight of all time from joint broadcast partners ESPN and FOX.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. still sits comfortably as the king of the PPV ring at the top four spots for best-selling boxing PPVs of all time with his fights against Manny Pacquiao (4.6 million) Conor McGregor (4.3 million) Oscar De La Hoya (2.4 million) and Canelo Alvarez (2.2 million).
