    I’m NOT watching the fight cause I refuse to give attention and money to a convicted rapist and an influencer creep

      I was not aware about Tyson being a rapist. Thanks for bringing this up. Damn them both.

        It happened so long ago, I forget many people weren’t around. I thought it was common knowledge. I think it was the movie the hangover which started turning him into a meme and caused people to transfer that into actually liking Tyson. He’s an idiot at best, a rapist at worst.

        https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/boxing/jake-paul-vs-mike-tyson-fight-why-b2647687.html

        Most fucked up part of the article, Tyson speaking about his victim:

        "I just hate her guts,” he said of Washington in 2003. “She put me in that state, where I don’t know. I really wish I did now. But now I really do want to rape her.”

        Tyson has also been quoted as saying he did “four or five things worse than what I’m accused of”. To eliminate any potential uncertainty – four or five things worse than rape.
