Disgraceful elder abuse. A 31 year age difference and Tyson wearing a knee brace. In his prime Tyson would have finished in the first round and you’d need a mop to get Jake Paul out of the ring.
I bet many "elders" (not even retirement age) would line up to get "abused" to the tune of $20M. The outcome was not at all surprising but the payouts were.
Disgraceful elder abuse is when Americans are forced to work near or past their retirement age because the social safety net provided by the US is a paltry farce. This was just a business transaction between two rich, violent assholes.
Agree that Tyson agreed to the fight and got a good payoff. I meant that it’s a really hollow victory for Jake Paul. As a senior myself a bit older than Iron Mike, a 27-year-old beating him up doesn’t impress me.

Also no argument from me about the plight of America’s seniors. I’m one of them, though I don’t live there anymore so I can afford retirement.
