The Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones PPV reportedly did 1.2-1.5 million buys, the largest buy rate in several years. It’s thought that Tyson brought in most of it, but popular YouTuber Jake Paul may have attracted a significant number also.

Snoop Doog was embarrassing to listen to, the guy is absolute moron!! People really want to listen to him commentate a fight!? It’s a complete circus show. The rapping in between bouts was not appealing at all, it was absolute garbage “music”. We we’re all laughing at it. But I guess that trash is what’s popular these days. Triller can try to sell fights, I certainly won’t be watching.
The one guy who I can’t remember his name reminded me of a black Napoleon Dynamite.
Seems like we’re in a world where shows like Big Brother and YouTubers produce the next big thing…. Man, I need to find another planet.
Yeah it sucks. The positive is that the shallow idiots how drive interest in youtubers boxing have very short attention spans. They are the same people who were crazy about Pokemon Go. They follow fads and they will move on.
How very true. Ho and mofo every third word. Girls love those kind of guys though. Until they’re dropped with 3 illegitimate kids.
10 million to do that. I would have done it for one. And at least made a go of it getting KO’d.
My goodness I cringed hearing those horrible “rappers” it’s like now days they pluck anybody off the streets and make him a star, no talent needed just ridiculous times we live in. I actually muted that horrible crap I just wish I could unsee it.
To have sugar Ray Leonard doing the expert commentary was wonderful and the only respectable part of the commentating then to have snoop dog jump in and butcher it up talking about uncles brawling at the family barbecue that killed it I’ve never rolled my eyes so much during a boxing telecast. I like snoop dog he’s a good guy but he has zero business calling blow by blow he must have smoked a blunt before trying his hand at commentating fights just outrageous and silly.
I actually forgot all about Claressa Shields since it seemed like she fell off the radar. I still chuckle when she said she could “bang” with any champion in boxing out there. If I recall, she called out Shawn Porter. Pretty sad when a person is on euphoric high so bad they over reach their boundaries in what they are capable of. I wish her luck in MMA.
Money wise the move seems to be right (she never made more than 400k) and in MMA apparently she is in search of few mega fights. One of them against Amanda Nuñez, other could be vs. Cris Cyborg.
I believe is a good move
A match with Nunez I would like to see. Stand up though, no ground work.
when did toothless Trex say she can bang with any champion?

Boxing Historian, a while back. She was trying to capitalize on Rhonda rousey’s desire to beat Floyd’s ass.
KO Nation. No pretty. As for Snoop. He was pure garbage with a boxing knowledge that appeared to start and end around 1988. Actually the whole crew were Class A fluffers.
Over 1.2 million. If its true, Awsuum.
Good for them. Glad everyone made money
Tysom should do his next exhibition with connor McGregor
Bring back HBO boxing.
I’m 46 years old and have been watching boxing since I was real young. I thought this was kind of sad for boxing at first. But after watching it with my older brother in law and my way younger neices cousins I realized that this was perfect for this day and age. Obviously you needed to enjoy rap music. But we all enjoyed the program and would love to pay for something like that again
Good for them. Make money money make . Tyson is definitely a lovable rogue now. He knows how to get people to reach in their pockets even when they know they’re gonna get cubic zirconia. He and the cast of characters put on a show that’s appropriate for today. We live in a attention deficit world where you have to grab folks attention right away.
