    Given the price of the seats I'm guessing those who can't afford to be off work by then aren't the target to begin with.

    They are nearly giving tickets away...$200 and under. Don't ask what I paid....I bought 3 the day after the bout was announced.

    I'm wondering if they get more than 20,000 in attendance for an event that was supposedly going to sell out a 100,000 seat stadium.

    23 total minutes at $34 isn't bad.

    I got bets on a draw at 26/1 ( most bookmakers offer only 10/1 !!!! )
    Maybe dutch bookmakers know nothing about boxing

    I am surprised that this fight is free on Netflix.

    I thought it would be on Disney. Ha ha.

    Last time out, I’m certain that Mike could’ve KO’d Jones Jr as and when he liked.

    In fact, I think Mike showed great discipline in avoiding an accidental early KO of Roy.

    Mike considerately picked his moments and his target areas to allow Jones to survive.

    But that was several years back and it’s impossible to gage exactly where Mike is at now.

    I hope he straightens out the problem child, leaving him inert on the canvas.

    Mike being on the losing end is an extremely depressing thought.

    Oscar De La Hoya says he will “pray for Mike Tyson” in his “dangerous fight” against the “real fighter,” Jake Paul.
    “I'm gonna pray for Mike Tyson, because I love Mike Tyson," De La Hoya told TMZ. "I think Jake Paul, look, he's a real fighter. He really is. It's a dangerous fight. Mike Tyson, be careful, please.”

    Paul is a real fighter. In normal circumstances he'd be a journeyman but nevertheless he is a professional boxer and as such would destroy a barroom hardman without breaking sweat. How that fits up against a man who's nearly sixty but in his prime was one of the most feared fighters of all time we don't know, because it's never happened before and if the boxing authorities had any backbone it wouldn't be happening now.
