Tyson vs Paul

[Hot Lunch]

When it's time to sit down and watch TV, the wife and I will be watching Part 2 of Cobra Kai Season 6. Just released today. That's the beauty of modern technology. You don't have to watch things when they air.

Neither does this forum, but you still post here like a spectre at the feast!

You won't hear from me again.

Y'know, honestly... No. I've never been interested in the "talking" parts of the fight build-up, not in boxing, not in MMA, anywhere. I in fact actively avoid it. I can watch a UFC card in 2 hours instead of the broadcast 6 because I fast-forward through all the talky bits, the entrances, all that extraneous stuff. When I watch pro wrestling, which I do sometimes, I skip the promos and angles. I just want to see the action.

So Jake Paul's antics simply don't move me because I haven't seen them. I know his name and I know he has lots of terrible tattoos because I saw that weigh-in picture, but that's it.

But watching a journeyman boxer fight an old and shopworn Mike Tyson just doesn't excite me. I'm already not the most ardent boxing fight anymore, and this does nothing to re-kindle the flame.

I'll check out the results tomorrow, and if it turns out to be something spectacular, I'll watch the fight (I have Netflix). But only the fight.

I will not be watching, but I will want to know who wins..... I know who hope wins.... decisively.... but I don't want to name names....all I will say is he use to be a heavy weight boxing champ

Well not watching the fight. Kid has to watch a western movie for school, so we are watching Appaloosa.

Side complaint about this - was listening to the news and they were talking about how netflix has this and some random football games. With football basketball and hockey (I don't watch baseball often so not sure there), they're each on different streaming services now. Some are on cable as well, but not all - I can only watch about a third of the only sports team in raleigh, on raleigh cable for instance. So to watch one sport you might need cable and two separate streaming services. To watch all sports, you need like 6.

And they've got "aggregate" streaming services that cost more. But those still don't have what are often considered exclusive or prime time games since those are exclusive to streaming services, so you still need to buy the streaming service along with it.

Yet these leagues wonder why people keep going to "Free streaming sites" to watch these games.
