    Reason why mike slapped jake is because jake stepped on his right foot toes, it probably hurt him.

    You're right, I just a different clip and Jake Paul literally stepped on his toes. Tyson wasn't having it.

    Don't know how they're able to collect bets on it.

    We all saw what happened in the Roy Jones fight, Jones had 60 seconds of boxing in him and Mike held him up for half the fight then Mike's gas ran out and they held each other up.

    If Paul didn't have his YouTube channel he could still be a guy out there with a 10-4-2 record, why not?

    Those wrestlers and basketball players he faced weren't much better than your typical tomato cans but they weren't much worse either.

    A fine? That was half the work he did to earn the purse!

    But where were his clothes????

    Mike should get the medal of freedom for slapping Jake.

    I don't agree with that. If Jake Paul competed properly at cruiserweight or light heavyweight 100% he would have a losing record. The guys he has fought are not only old non boxer's but they were all a lot naturally smaller than him. A journeyman light heavy or cruiser would beat him in my opinion.

    I think Tyson looks in poor shape, a lot worse than he did against Jones. I think he's overdone it with the roids, he looks a blocky mess.

    He weighed 5 pounds less for this fight than he did in his final fight against McBride, and at 58 years old. He's In great shape for a guy his age.

    Yeah. He had a pretty big belly then.

    Strong acting performance though. He was great in the cameos.
