As with all televised sporting events, I didn’t catch the fight. But what I’ve read about it sounds like a disappointment for all. Tyson today is an entertainer more than a fighter. The other guy’s resume sounds like he’s only an entertainer. How did two entertainers put on an event so deeply unentertaining?

In other unworthy-of-a-thread news, I am posting from an airline lounge. I stayed at the farm last night so I could sleep in until 4:00 and drive 2 hours to catch a flight with a 30-minute layover. Due to low oxygen bottle pressure, slow maintenance paperwork on a Saturday morning at the remote regional airline outpost, and even slower deicing, my flight was delayed. I hit the ground at a run and made the 3/4-mile distance between gates in less than the 7 minutes I had, but they had just closed the door on me. Now I’m on standby for a flight 3 hours later and hoping against being stuck on an even later one. Total travel time is going to be 11-13 hours even if nothing else goes wrong. It would have been 3.7 hours in my own plane.

The Tyson-Paul fight wasn’t about the matchup, it was about generating/motivating a younger audience for boxing and Netflix proving they could livestream sports.

I don’t think either business objective was fairly met.

or a pathetic attempt to generate an audience so a utube personality could sell more sugar water and body spray. What it ended up being was a horrible to watch fight where a 58 year old man got beat up by someone in their 20s.

Does anyone watch boxing anymore?
 
I watched a youtube video. I did NOT watch until the end, I did NOT like and I did NOT subscribe. "there's a rebel lying deep in my soul"

Is it one product "energy drink and body spray"? Because that sounds both horrible, and a rip off of an old Saturday Night Live skit.

Re boxing, no, I don't think so. I think this last one was officially Fonzie doing the water ski thing.
 
Ah yes. “Shimmer”.

Not my generation. Body spray, etc. The new Old Spice commercials showing a dude lathering himself in a bath tub. I guess it speaks to the target audience of Gen Z, although Old Spice is a Baby Boomer brand. Now, get off my yard and stop listening to your weird music while pop in a REO Speedwagen cassette into my Walkman.

Wanna play stupid injuries?

One of my many submissions... I broke my foot hiding from the dog to see how long it would take her to find me. Turned off the lights in the mancave I'm building above the detached garage. Hustle down the stairs. Jump the last couple and attempt to go around the corner. Land on a bag of ice melt Ankle rolled and heard the pop. I knew it was broke before completing the fall.

Ok, I see some folks here won't let this go, so here it is...I was unloading the dish washer. I grabbed a couple of glasses off the top rack (I did not roll it out) and while coming out I hit that little tang that holds the door closed while it is running, and it laid me open. Stupid place to put a latch. Anyone think I have a case against Whirlpool.??

One good part, I did not have to clean the blood off the door. I just turned the washer on...
