Does Biden get to wear his Bike Helmet? Even then...

Would Paul get a TKO if Biden fell off the stairs getting into the ring?

Paul doesnt fight anyone unless they can provide 'Proof of Pension.'

Lol, I'm sure Jake would certainly act like he earned a TKO in that situation

I know that's Mortal Kombat, but I'm picturing Paul doing the Guile, Street Fighter comb through the hair victory celebration, with Biden in the background on his face at the bottom of the plane stairs. He's even in the right location
Spoiler!

I should be a Boxing Promoter. I can do this!

Paul vs. 78 Year old Terminal Cancer Patient!

People would buy tickets to that!

Or! Oh yeah! Even better! Remember that old game "how many 5-year-olds can you beat up?"

Turn it around! Fence off a Senior's home and make him fight them all! They get to keep their Walkers, Canes and Wheelchairs though...just to even things up!

Sports medicine Dr. breaks down what is really happening with Tyson's body and why this fight should never have happened.

As horrible a display of "boxing" that Paul/Tyson ended up being, along with the girls they were a huge financial bonanza


Quote:
The main event that pitted the YouTuber-turned-boxer against an iconic heavyweight champion -- paired with a historic co-main event in which Katie Taylor narrowly defeat Amanda Serrano via controversial split decision -- was the biggest gate for any boxing or MMA event outside of Las Vegas in U.S. history, according to a statement from Paul's Most Valuable Promotions

Over 72,300 fans attended Paul vs. Tyson and brought in $18,117,072 in total revenue. The event, promoted by MVP Promotions and streamed live on Netflix, clocks in as the ninth-highest combat sports gate ever in U.S. history and set a record as the highest-grossing gate at AT&T Stadium for a combat sports event.

Well at least Logan's next fight isn't against a senior citizen, so props, I guess...

I am no aficionado of the ways of the pugilist but isnt MacGregor...

A) An absolute Unit?
B) Insanely tough?
C) Insane?

Like. I know people mock Paul for never fighting a true pro but this seems like he's going to get cranked like a rock 'em-sock 'em robot.

Am I missing something?

Not if it's all staged and neither really tries like the last one. It's all about the hype and the Benjamins.

Also crazy to want Logan to win, since no one in the right mind could cheer for that Rapist.

So McGregor is fighting the older brother? I think McGregor takes it. He didn't look too bad against Mayweather. Logan looked like an clown last time he fought. Jake is better IMO.

Isn't Paul way bigger than Macgregor?

Doesn't really matter since it will be scripted anyway, but might be weird having a heavyweight face a smaller guy.

McGregor is 5'8 and probably walks around at about 175.

Logan Paul is 6'2 and probably around 205.

So ya, McGregor is much more talented but Paul has significant size/reach advantage

No way McGregor beats Paul in a boxing match.

Just once I'd like to see one of these circus matches done as an MMA match, but guys like Paul will never do that because they would get humiliated.
