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.

Netflix definitely will get more sporting events. Right now it’s looking like they’ll get NFL games

I honestly didn’t watch it, but if I did it would’ve been to see him get hurt

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.

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.

No way, you’re telling me a televised MMA fight was staged? Say it isn’t so!

Also MMA doesn’t have anything to do with being staged.

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.
