It was rigged?

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.

He won 40 mil and Mike won 20 mil.

It was dumb, we paid attention, Tyson cashed in. Nobody was hurt. They both won.
- Yeah, but I would have really appreciated it if Paul was hit KO. Would have made everything just a bit nicer.
- Nobody was hurt
  
  I mean, they both also won just a little bit of CTE.
- Money doesn't make him any less a loser.
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.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

If anyone actually watched the whole thing, Tyson came out hot and Paul had a moment of fear. Then old man got hit a few times and looked like he was about to wobble to the ground.

I thought it was gonna be fake and scripted. And most of it was. But, the actual fight? Mike came out hot and it was pretty clear Paul could have taken him out a number of times but didn’t. He didn’t want to hurt him.

Look, I don’t like Jake Paul or Mike Tyson. But, it was a media event. It wasn’t “rigged”

But, it was a media event. It wasn’t “rigged”

You could gamble on it, which means there was money to be made courting suckers.

I'm sure the lion's share of "rigged" proclamations were coming from folks who got baited into bad bets.
I think Tyson had the power in his arms to do some damage but he just did not have the speed to get in at all after 2 rounds. And he'd leave himself open if he tried.
- After the 3rd he couldn't stance, he was flat on his feet.
Thanks for an actually smart summary. I only watched the first few rounds, then skipped to the end, but I have the same impression.

Paul was using his head, not wanting kill a 58 yrs old sport legend accidentally. Also, he stayed in distance, to avoid accidentally walking into a stronger punch from Tyson’s shorter arms. The match we have seen is the logical result of these factors, no scripting needed.

Paul and Tyson made 40 and 20 million from this, 120 million ppl watched live on Netflix, so now the phones will not stop ringing at Paul’s promotion agency to make fights like these happen in the future, as I bet a lot of boxers would love to make money like Tyson did.
Thanks for the summary, I was wondering how it went down.
Best summary I've read.

The same people who took this seriously are the same people who mock wrestling fans. And wrestling fans could see through this.

What about Mexican wrestling fans? Since they are wearing masks it might be a bit harder for them to see through this.
- You buffoon. Those masks have X-ray. They saw better.
Wrestling fans know good kayfabe when they see it.

Fake News, you couldn’t watch the fight on Netflix it was stills between buffers.

But for real who expect an out of form 60yo to do anything but loose.

Things do get looser as you get older
The only way we watched is on my wife's Ipad and it was because we weren't watching live. We were about 10 minutes behind the live stream. I tried to join on my Google TV and Netflix would crash.
Watched it outside of USA. Buffered once between rounds. Was fine.
- Also outside USA and stream didn't work on PC at all starting around the final undercard fight. It kinda worked on my phone for some reason but ended up just finding a pirate stream to continue watching on my computer.
  
  Wasn't until the post fight commentary that my official stream started working again

So… uh… what am I looking at here? What’s this pic supposed to show? I just see two guys in a boxing ring.

It’s clickbait. I bet the article has 5 screenshots of twitter comments, and paraphrases them in 10 paragraphs, while also sharing a lot irrelevant info and linking other articles abut the match.
- the rules of boxing:
  
  who is Jake Paul?
  
  who is Mike Tyson?
  
  why is this fight relevant?
  
  definition and etymology of the word 'faked'

Unpopular opinion i guess but here we go. The event was scripted but not the fight. Mike's knee was hurt, he came into the fight bandaged and on some videos of him prefight you can see how slow and wobbly he is on his feet. He came in hot but after round two it seems like he hurt his knee. Round 3-8 Mike was basically standing his ground in peekaboo stance and had no real ability to enter the longer reach of Jake who didn't force an early decision and played it out respectfully while still having to be careful about Mike's hands. I personally enjoyed the event, we all have this question in some form at some point: "What if this old legend came back into the sport, would he/her be able to compete?". I didn't come to watch a carnage, i was curious, how far the legend could push himself at 58 and i got my answer, i was entertained.

Thanks for sharing. This gave me a new perspective on the match.
Excellent summary, but I think folks were sad because a bunch of us had tuned in hoping to see :
Apparently the match was also delayed due to some medical issue Tyson had recently where he was seen coughing up blood during a plane flight.

And I've heard that his knee was in a brace pre-fight.

Everything about it was shit. Hopefully Netflix will never get a sporting event again. Biased opinions all the way through the fights. Commentators talking about the other fights while fights were happening. During Barrios vs Ramos WBC belt fight, they were talking about the upcoming fights. Their audio went to Holyfields earpiece, later on a mic went. Their servers crashed. Rosie Perez is not 'the first lady of boxing' What other commentary there was, was horseshit. Plugging all their shows by zooming in on their 'celebrity' crowd. I'm paying premium to watch the boxing. I don't give a fuck about Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz and their new shit film. Or the two Cobra Kai clowns. Every five minutes. The trailers for the shows just interrupted everything. I couldn't watch the best fight of the night live because their servers went down.
