Tyson/Paul Fight

[mtofell]

I think Tyson is going knock Paul's head off. Of course, this is an unprecedented event but I think it's just too easy to forget how much better a GOAT (or near it) is than a TikTok star. I'll take my chances with Tyson at 30 years older. I grabbed Tyson at +220 a few days ago and saw today it's down to +185 (Bovada).

Honestly, this is a tough thing to call and I think the value would be with either siding getting better odds. Also, I'm roughly Tyson's age and like the idea of an old man beating some ass!

never heard of them

is this UFC? or some kick boxing thing?

Worst… it’s a 3 ring circus of a boxing match. Old man v. social influencer in one ring, fans in the other, and hype machine media in the other ring. 🤣🤣🤣

i’m laying the juice with paul. he’s put in the work

Yep, he knows what he's doing - Opponents are hand-picked. Price seems high but that's what we thought when he fought Woodley, Diaz, and Perry. The kid is good enough to beat a 58 year old...

I don’t understand how anyone can put real money on Tyson. You do know he was boxing in 1985…

I don’t understand how anyone can put real money on Tyson. When is the last time he covered a bet? 30 years ago? Yes, he still looks crazy and is crazy. But don’t forget he was boxing in 1985…

[DrunkHorseplayer]

If Tyson truly gives a shit, he'll win but that's an enormous if. He might just be looking for a check.

Any value on fight going the distance +156 if there's a handshake agreement? Or do you guys think this ends early?

It should go the distance. They're using 14oz gloves, instead of the standard 10oz, 2 mins rounds with 8 rounds. That's only 16 mins of fighting, but then again it's a 58 yrs old man in the ring. o/u 5.5 so taking over

Oh wow I think that has a lot of value almost a bad line

[ddittie]

My money is on it going the distance and ending in a draw. +875

Also has value

u have to remember this is basically an exhibition and not a title fight

Before you head to the window or the app, you should know:

>The fight is sanctioned by the state of Texas
>Their gloves will be 14 ounces instead of 10 ounces.
>The rounds will be two minutes instead of three
>The fight is scheduled for just eight rounds

I wondered how you set odds on such an oddball fight, so I asked.

Answered Circa Sports risk manager Dylan Sullivan: “My approach is Tyson is old, has no power and probably can’t defend himself. Jake is young and juiced up. I don't think Tyson can hurt Paul or win 4 rounds, so my approach is to let the people bet Tyson.”

With a Total of 4.5 rounds at Circa, the Over is -130 and the Under +110.

[Mac4Lyfe]

I can’t believe people are still betting on Tyson. Folks are so enthralled by him, they’ll lose their rent on a guy that washed out over 2 decades ago. It makes no sense. I remember when he fought Lennox Lewis. EVERYBODY had money on Tyson. I believe I got Lewis like 4 or 5 to 1. I had a big boxing party and I had side bets with a bunch of my friends. I made out like a bandit. Tyson was never the same boxer after Cus and Jim Jacobs died, and he left Bill Clayton and Kevin Rooney. His development as a boxer stopped in 1988. Don King convinced him to leave that team. Probably the worst decision in Tyson’s torrid life.

[Getch13]

I just hit under 6.5 rounds at DK's -120

Jake respects the hell out of Tyson so there might be an off chance he doesn't want to hurt him but I doubt it.

[johnnyvegas13]

If u don’t think it goes distance your basically betting that refs stop early to protect Tyson

he might not win but I think he goes the distance

Great info and source... thanks! I get his thinking but at the core it's a BIG assumption.

I was surprised the odds were initially so long for Tyson which is why I grabbed the +220. The +170/180 that it currently sits at seems more reasonable and would indicate a lot of people are taking the shot with Tyson.

And fwiw, I'm not betting a paycheck or my kids' college fund... I threw down $100 to win $220. I'm mainly just entertained by the whole thing.

Better question- who the hell is actually watching this?

[povis]

People like to pretend that they don't care about this fight but they still going to watch it including me. over is interesting bet in my opinion

[Mac4Lyfe]

I’ll watch it but I’m a boxing nut.

[povis]

Gimmicky fight for sure but even sports fans not watching combat sports will see highlights on youtube or twitter.

[mjsuax13]

I’ll watch it but I’m a boxing nut.

I love boxing too but don’t see this as that… it’s not must see TV. I think it’s time Paul steps into the real arena of boxers instead of this gimmicky shit. God bless them all for getting paid from it but damn.

[SBR Andy]

As crazy as it sounds, a senior trader at BetMGM said the Paul-Tyson fight would be the "most bet on boxing match in BetMGM history."

Books are begging for Jake Paul $$

If Tyson were a typical 58 year old man, I could go along with what you guys are saying - but the guy is a monster, in fantastic shape, and looks to have been training hard for this. Don't rule out pride as well - I just feel like Tyson is going to steamroll Paul. But - I'll admit I don't really follow much boxing - I've just been caught up in the social media hype (I'm not too proud to admit it lol).

Better question- who the hell is actually watching this?

Well, it's on Netflix, so it's not like it's a PPV - I'll likely watch just to say I did.

Didn't he lose to the only semi-real boxer he fought ?

[BiloxiSaintsFan]

If you put these two in the streets and said fight, at 58 years old Tyson would demolish this clown.

If they fought a legit boxing match, Tyson at 58 would knock this dude out in 2 rounds or less.

The fact that they are basically wearing pillows for gloves in this fight to protect Paul says they know if Tyson wanted to he’d end this guy.

However, it’s all about money so like most of Paul’s stuff, it’s rigged in his favor.

That’s crazy but that’s the effect influencers like Paul attracts. Yes, many folks are taken by Tyson but these online influencers can reach people unlike no other.

Yes

[mtofell]

That’s crazy but that’s the effect influencers like Paul attracts. Yes, many folks are taken by Tyson but these online influencers can reach people unlike no other.

This likely also explains Tyson being the underdog.... The Jake Paul fan-boys have never heard of him and only see clips of Paul beating ass. Couple that with Tyson being 58 and everyone figures he's washed up. Problem is he's still Tyson and he's still got that crazy look in his eye. I honestly see this as a coin toss since there are just so many variables and unknowns. I just couldn't see eating a bunch of juice on either of them.

Hopefully, Paul's seen this:

Tremendous. I have been lucky enough to be around Mike a few times in my life and he is very straight forward and also hilarious.
