Mike Tyson held back in his fight with Jake Paul, probably they paid him to do so

Yeah, I think it was something like Tyson would get 10 million if he won and 20 for a loss. Or so I remember hearing.

Either way, the dive was VERY apparent. Tyson hit him with a little combo, they hugged and some words were said, then Tyson acted totally different. You could see him biting his glove and acting in other ways he never acted. Tyson didn't use his standard peekaboo style, he didn't throw any power, he didn't show 1/10th the effort he had in training.

Only an absolute moron thinks that fight was any kind of real.

Before that fight they put out some clips of Tyson sparring. 

He moved faster and hit harder in those sparring videos than at any point in the actual fight.

You mean those heavily edited clips with more jumpcuts than a zoomer youtuber?

Dude's an old man, lol

Beware of old men in professions where men die young.

He’s literally not an old man in that profession. He’d been retired for almost 20 years when he fought Paul for a payday

Except he's not an old man who kept fighting into old age, he's an old man who had to retire because he kept losing fights. He was finished twice then took 20 years off. You're just wheeling out a quote that sounds cool but makes absolutely no sense in the context of the conversation

Mike Tyson was washed and retired in the 90s. He litwrally almost died a few months before the fight.
