The Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight was awful.
The boxing was terrible, though Tyson deserves credit for just surviving at 58. Paul deserves credit for executing yet another multimillion-dollar con.
The padded gloves dictated that Tyson couldn't hurt Paul. The short rounds made it likely that Tyson wouldn't keel over.
Paul winning a decision was a result you could see coming long before the fight started. It wasn't a work. It was a shoot with a finagled result. #BestForBusiness
Netflix flunked the test. Too much buffering. Rotten picture. Bad announcing. Just a bush-league presentation. That doesn't bode well for their Steelers-Kansas City telecast on Christmas Day, or being the new home of WWE Monday Night Raw.
But speaking of WWE...
How about this tag-team match for WrestleMania 41 at Las Vegas this April: Jake Paul and brother Logan Paul vs. Mike Tyson and a WWE worker, maybe L.A. Knight.
Knight and Logan Paul could handle most of the work. (Logan Paul is a regular performer in WWE.) Tyson tags in to knock somebody out at the end. BIG POP.
Tyson was a huge hit when he was part of WrestleMania XIV's main event in 1998. WWE loves doing callbacks.
It couldn't be worse than that boxing match on Friday night. In fact, it would likely be much better.
WWE, unlike Netflix, understands big events.
