Mike Tyson

Post by HighlyIrregular II » Thu Oct 10, 2024 4:49 pm

1. Tyson is just a little older than me. I know how it feels to be that age with reasonable genetics and no significant injuries. I haven't pushed myself like I was training for a million dollar fight, but all the younger people are just guessing and at least I have a little first-hand knowledge of what it's like to do physical stuff at my age. I think people my age are more capable than young people think.

2. Larry Holmes said he saw Tyson train and says he will last the 2 minute rounds with Jake Paul and will win.

3. I read: "the latest Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson odds list has Paul as the -330 favorite (risk $330 to win $100) to win, with Tyson a +250 underdog, with the over/under for total rounds at 5.5, with the Over price at -150." Great betting odds if you favor Tyson.

4. Jake Paul will pay Mike Tyson $5 million if Tyson can last more than four rounds. The odds were set before Tyson responded, and he still hasn't responded. If Tyson takes the bet, then he's less likely to win.

If Tyson doesn't take Paul's bet, I actually may bet on Tyson. Betting is legal in PA, but I don't know where to bet or how at the moment. I never bet on sports before. I may look into the best way to do this. I'd like to bet in a way where the state gets a piece rather than some business.

Update: Tyson commented on the $5 million offer and said it would take a lot more.
“He should offer more,’’ Tyson told USA TODAY Sports Thursday.

How much?

“Tell him probably about 20 (million),” Tyson said.

I find it really interesting that Mike Tyson had a net worth of around $300 million but is currently considered to have only $10 million.

It seems like he mostly just goes on random podcasts (such as Graham Hancock, which I didn't wait for and just signed off the stream) and it seemed like for the last few decades, he talked about pigeons or other random stuff.


This video claims he's worth $50 million (cannabis industry?)

I came across the Samuel L Jackson movie, titled, 'Resurrecting The Champ,' (2007) which I assumed was a made up story, possibly based on this real encounter captured on video:

A different boxer (Rocky Lockridge) I assumed this movie was based on.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Lockridge

Judging from the Wikipedia page, the clip would have been recorded before 2006, because after that time he suffered a stroke and required a cane to keep his balance.

It turns out the movie was inspired from a real article that was published in 1997, based on the account from a professional boxers son, where he had apparently been friends with Miles Davis and other things.

Whether the movie was based on a real homeless person who was a former professional boxer posing as one of his boxing rivals who had a bigger reputation than him, (kind of like "Stolen Valor") is still not certain.

The movie was named after the article:
Resurrecting the Champ" by J. R. Moehringer for Los Angeles Times Magazine

The real Bob Satterfield

And a 2023 move called, 'The Carpenter' is about Jesus training an MMA fighter in ancient Jerusalem.

The plotline has something to do with 'Vikings' but such a term didn't originate yet.
