I didn’t even know it was happening and I hate all of you for informing me it happened at all.
Tbf I found out about it last night in a similar fashion lol
Shaq was literally at the fight though…
My eyes don’t work when I’m sleeping mate.
Ew wtf is with the dumb ass watermark in the center
I think it’s fitting of the community
It’s too much effort for a low effort community
Idk I didn’t watch the fight but I was hoping Mike Tyson (even now out of his prime) could’ve knocked out Jake Paul. Sad it didn’t turn out that way.
I think this is probably how most people felt, and the powers that be did a great job of taking advantage of it. As a good friend put it- “They got the hate watch on lock”
Wow. I didn’t watch the fight because I knew he would take a dive, but I didn’t want to believe it or see it. The (no longer) baddest man on earth just threw away his legacy and reputation for a few bucks…
$20 million is one hell of an incentive to take a dive…
It’s never enough for wealth hoarding addicts. With a little knowhow and elbow grease, someone can set themselves up for a comfortable life with a measly 50k and become self sustainable. He’s addicted to the lifestyle of the rich and the famous.
Man declared bankruptcy in 2003 even though he was making like 30 mil per fight by then. Man just had to have his tigers, bugattis and mansions lol

Say more.
Right? I wonder if this involves living in a van, down by the river.
Depends what you want out of life.
I want a huge house, a car, a tree and the ability to feed my family.
Do your thing, dude. Our modest lifestyle doesn’t infringe on your “huge house” aspirations.
Teaching yourself horticulture, buying a plot of land, renting the equipment to clear your living space and dig to install a septic tank, and either building or buying a tiny home, is less complicated and expensive than it sounds and the returns are for life, and your descendents’.
Most people think it’s too hard to do, but this life is less difficult for me than modern city/suburb life. It’s more natural to what the human experience is supposed to be. Free of slavery/perpetual debt. And I used to work 12hr days of hard labour, yet still paycheck to paycheck, never advancing in life, deeply miserable.
Hunting, fishing, trapping, and foraging are easily taught invaluable skills that should be first-hand knowledge.
It really all depends on what a person truly wants out of their life.
Edit: bonus, you can always sell your goods at markets for extra cash if you need it.
Teaching yourself … buying a plot of land, renting the equipment … install a septic tank, … a tiny home, is less complicated and expensive than it sounds
Cool, got those numbers? Plus I want time investment required as well. You talk big, son.

“Lower your standards”, got it.
With respect, I’m not going to argue with someone who doesn’t want that life, but the numbers are leagues higher to live depending on purchasing everything, especially superficial purchases, and most people can’t even afford a home within that system anymore, so they are forced to find other means of survival at this point.
You do you, so long as you’re happy!
I must add that focusing your energy towards working for yourself is infinitely rewarding. All that time spent is time I enjoy.
You aren’t going to argue because 50k isn’t remotely close to achieving what you are talking about and you know it.
I don’t think you can even buy a tiny home for $50k these days, let alone a big enough plot of land to support all of these activities, and also pay for the equipment to get the land ready.
You can buy pre-fab tiny homes here for 15-20k these days. There’s so many companies doing it now you can find affordable models that fit your needs.
All you have to do is have enough cash to not work while you learn to do all that labor including building codes designed to keep you from killing yourself. Every time I hear somebody advocate for off grid or tiny living, it sounds like a total grift based off the American fantasy of self sufficiency.
Every time I hear someone advocating against self-sufficiency and dependency on a fascist system, the alarm bells go off.
It seems alien to most because we are indoctrinated to fear individualism and anything that deviates from the status quo, and take “comfort” in the deeply corrupt system we are all forced to participate in.
Like I said in another comment, at this point people are forced to do this purely out of survival, because living within the system is just not possible anymore. It’s much easier to understand and empathize if you’ve experienced poverty and discrimination.

That’s why I also suggested purchasing pre-fab. Hell, you could buy a trailer or even a shipping container, or whatever is within your means.
Change is hard for the average person, and most will resist it.

Are you serious? The US jerks itself off with bootstraps and stories of self made millionaires.
Well, I think I know how seriously to take you.
I don’t think it was a dive as much as it was that he is a 58 year old man with knee problems fighting a trained 27 year old in their prime.
A 58 year old silverback gorilla with a team of doctors pumping him full of roids and other performance enhancers. He had the chance to show the world he’s still a beast, but he took the the paycheck to promote JP instead.
JP never faced a proper opponent in a proper fight.
A 27 year old who has never fought a boxer prospect in his own weight and picks fights with MMA fighters who can only throw punches or retirees. In a fight that’s almost always a publicity fight.
Boxing is all about cardio. A 58 year old vs a 27 year old when they both train is always going to that 27 year old. Mike Tyson going the distance is still impressive as hell
Though Tyson most likely has quadruple the testosterone of a healthy 27 year old man coursing through his system, on top of whatever other performance enhancers lol
He did make the bookies quite happy.
Tyson has an huge ego, at least he did when he was still professional. He was getting smacked by childish moves me and my brothers would’ve used. It probably hurts a bit even with the 20 million he got.
I was having sex!
I said I would stick around until it buffered one more time. Ended up going to bed before the fight started. Fight was lost by 0KB.
I don’t get it, did people really think Paul would lose?
I don’t get it, did people really
thinkhope Paul would lose?
If you were naive and basing your evaluation on talent: yes.
If you were canny to how the shell game works: 😂
did people really think
Sadly no
I don’t even know who this Paul guy is, but people seem to really dislike him.
Remember the YouTuber who showed the bodies of men who had died by suicide hanging from trees? This is his brother. Trash people who are good at making people hate them.
Thankfully, no.
Genuinely not sure who it was even for.
If you don’t like boxing, you weren’t going to enjoy it.

It was for all the people talking about it all the time.
For people who pretend they like boxing?
I saw some really good fights that night. Went to an armored MMA event. Did not disappoint.
people who had no idea what was happening until they woke up this morning.
Fuck you lot.
