    Ariel has such an odd understanding of why people are upset. he's insistent on this narrative that you cannot call Jake Paul a bum while also being concerned for Mike or be upset for this fight being made. Jake Paul is by no means a high level boxer, but he is young, active, has access to the best trainers and facilities and is building a boxing resume . Mike Tyson is old, retired, doing podcasts, and puts out training footage once in a while. Can jake paul still be a bum. in terms of high level boxing, yes. can this make concern for mike tyson invalid? well no

    The fact that Ariel keeps saying he is not getting paid by Saudis or Jake is so disingenuous as we all know that payment comes in all kinds of subtle ways ( e.g.getting later hired to cover events, getting access for interviews etc). In fact, him trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the audience in this way, as if we are idiots, is all the more damning & condescending.

    Nope, your answer to the Paul V Tyson question was just skirting around the houses, no one cares about your involvement in networks, or if you like this you dont like that etc... the WHOLE point is about a young man with knock out power fighting someone almost 60 and if you cant just focus on that point, then I've lost respect for your opinions as you seem to be all in on Paul V Tyson... you guys are meant to be a legit combat sports fans? Would you be down to see Jon Jones have a cage fight when he's almost 60? of course not, its desperate and embarrassing and its not how we want to see our icons end up, but money makes these awful match ups happen. Your viewers are just shocked that you guys are not calling it out for the sad spectacle it is.
    Tyson will be 58 when that fight happens and you are (at this moment) ok with a fight between a 27 year boxer fighting a man who is pushing 60 who was recently walking around with a 'WALKING STICK'. And its true, look what happened to Belfort V Holyfield, it was sad and embarrassing to see an old fighter get stopped like that. I hope Tyson does not get fit enough to be cleared for this fight :(

      The WBC have no spine . They allow Tyson Fury to not take mandatories and say “he’s a victim of his own success” when he doesn’t fight for a year and talks about retirement. They gave a potential cheating boxer (Connor Benn) an excuse for him to use and didn’t remove him from their rankings. They also let Fury fight Francis (an 0-0 boxer at the time) for his WBC belt just so it could go on Furys record.

  • @Mike-dd8pn
    @Mike-dd8pn 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    The ignorance is nuts... the reason the ufc is capable of pulling such amazing numbers is because they reinvest such a large portion of profits back into the company, rather than giving 50% to the prelim fighters who joe blow has never heard of. Its crazy that this cant be figured out by guys like Ariel who have been part of this industry for so long.

  • @olivierolzolz1693
    @olivierolzolz1693 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    Ariel, at what point Mike Tyson is too old to fight against Jake Paul. Can we agree 70 years old is too old? I think we can also agree 65 is also too old. Personally, I think 57 is still too old and would only be OK against an opponent 10 years younger or less. But a 30 years gap??? It's called a freak show and now, it's not a fight that matters, you are so wrong this time.

    If Tyson wins then many will take temporary satifaction in the romance of Tyson getting one last win but ultimately it'll be a meaningless win and one Tyson didn't need. If Tyson loses then everyone knows it proves nothing, Jake will massively lose popularity and fight media will try and forget the whole embarrassment as quickly as possible.
    The point is that it's an entirely stupid fight, it's in dire taste and nothing Ariel or his co-worker said negates that fact.

  • @craigbarnes5237

    Using being paid by “only” the broadcaster is such a weak statement. The broadcaster is only paying the money they do because of the money they’re getting From the event organisers.
    And saying working an event is not endorsing the event is equally as weak, if held morals with conviction you’d turn it down. Just be “pretty damn real” stop parroting the narrative the men in suits/thawbs want to hear.
