  1. It think it is going to crush that. And that will make me a little sad. I just hope Tyson has some form of payout escalator if the number of views cross 25M
  2. Im just happy Tyson got a huge payday that wasnt tied to Don King to graft off of
  3. I think I am going to pull up the ESPN+ undercard of Davis Lemos and watch that now... this was horrible. Best fight of the night was the female title bout..
  4. Why? Joshua, Fury, Klittschko, and even Usyk are not really a major cut above the rest of the big boys in the last decade. They are lacking that true mix of power and technical ability that used to be the hallmark of the heavyweight division.
  5. This is shit boxing, but the number of people tuning in just shows how well good boxing could actually still do... The product has been shit in the heavyweight division for a while.
  6. 6 of 8, I got Paul up at least 3 rounds
  7. Seems like Tyson is hoping Paul's ego will get to stand still to try and KO him, because if not it is an easy win for Paul right now.
  8. TYwice in round 4 Paul almost got too close and Tyson pulled the uppercut, but right now Tyson is just not throwing a flurry.. just seems like he is waiting for round 6,7, & 8.
  9. Paul is using his reach and falling back and Tyson can't get to him... If Paul just runs all fight, he probably has this easily. The worst thing he could do is get close or trapped in a corner
  10. Liking this Spanish broadcast on starfish
  11. https://strfish.xyz/?p=60596
  12. Only 600M monthly users... Not account, users
  13. Paul has this look of "oh fuck" doesnt eh know this is a promotional money grab?
  14. I am going to laugh my ass off it Tyson just drops him in the first 30 seconds...
  15. On server 6 on stream east
  16. https://www.streameast.co/boxing/mike-tyson-vs-jake-paul/1
  17. Stream east... They have 6 servers from around the world going so if it hits a buffer, just swap servers...
  18. I would be very surprised if Hamas goes to Turkey. I would also be surprised if they go to Port Sudan. The problem is that no one wants them and Qatar is now desperately wants to be rid of them. As some added spice, OPEC+ overestimated Chinese demand and so it it unlikely they will be able to ramp up production to their targets anytime soon. They are also concerned that US tariffs and potential US overproduction could further weaken demand. Combine that with the potential end of the Ukraine war and lessening of Russian oil export restrictions and OPEC+ is concerned about future revenue estimates… All of this makes the hot potato game with who gets stuck with the Hamas leadership that much more high stakes. Maybe Turkey takes them, but there is little benefit to having them in your country at this point. Is it really worth the headache now since they are already walking the tightrope between NATO, the US, and Russia with Ukraine? Russia supports a Palestinian state but is staunchly opposed to any form of Islamic terrorism, and are in between on how to treat Hamas as a whole. I am not sure how Hamas being in Turkey works with that whole equation. As much of Erdogan likes to try to ride the line leveraging the tensions between the US and Turkey, and even the Arab nations to a point, this would probably put way too much of a target on Turkey if Iran, via Hamas, does something stupid. Worse, by giving Hamas a home, they are in essence siding with Iran, which has an extremely complicated relationship with Turkey and regardless how it would be framed cause a portion of Turkey be distrustful/upset of the situation. Could it happen? Sure. I would bet against it at this point though. What is strange is there is no real options for Hamas at all. It is really easy to come up with reasons not to house them anywhere outside of Iran, and I am real short on reasons to take them anywhere else on the Arabian peninsula.
  19. I dont either because it is a death sentence to go there. The real question is that how few viable options are there on the table if Port Sudan is considered a potential compromise? The Hamas leadership isn't worth the headache to protect at this point. Between the destruction of the Hezbollah leadership and changing political climate in the US, there is just no point to keep providing them cover.
  20. And maybe that is the real threat to Putin. If the restriction from the Biden Admin was no major attacks on major Russian population centers, and they have followed along with that mostly, then that is a major pivot point in all of this. With how limited the Russian Air Defense is, a massive set of home grown Ukrainian ballistic missiles all going to Moscow would make things real interesting in the land of public perception for Putin. Without knowing what those red lines are there is no way to know. That being said, that information asymmetry is a killer bargaining chip, if you can actually convince Russia that the Ukraine has had the means, but it was Biden keeping it from happening. Maybe we will see a few home grown missile launches as a proof of concept towards the Kerch bridge as the days slowly tick off to Jan.
