05:01Slide, then drop, drop, drop, walkie, walkie, walkie, hit you, hit you, hit you, hit you,
05:15hit you, hit you, hit you, hit you, watch it, watch it, I step back, it's like I have
05:24my business. Joe Rogan remarks on Floyd's smaller frame compared to Mike's, but Trent's
05:29argues Mike's past performance against Jake Paul proves he cannot land meaningful hits
05:33on Floyd. The last one, it looked a little bit like sparring. Yeah, I don't know. I think
05:39it was scripted. Yeah. I ain't never seen Tyson biting his gloves and like you could just,
05:44it was taking all that he could not to like hit him. It was just like, it's, it's, it's
05:52heartbreaking to see an icon go out like that. Yeah. You know, and. But it's crazy
05:58also to see him fight at 57 years old. Like that's nuts. Yeah, but still like, he shouldn't
06:03have been in there at all. You know, I think it's other ways. Yeah. You know, it's other
06:09ways for people. But what did he get? He got at least 20, right? Yeah, but still, I think.
06:15But I think he needed that money. Yeah, but with all his connections and things like that,
06:19I think people could have put him in the right position to make some money if he's got people
06:25with him that are looking out for his best interest. But you know how it is when there's
06:28a guy like that, that's a big name. Usually everybody around him pretends they're looking
06:33out for their best interest. But there's always lawsuits later on. You find out someone was
06:38stealing money or not paying him what he deserved. There's always a bunch of bullshit involved.
06:43Wade Plemons offers a detailed analysis of the Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson fight, highlighting
06:48how telling that bout was regarding Mike's current physical condition and overall readiness.
06:53Even when Jake approached the fight cautiously and held back, Mike struggled to maintain his
06:58usual dominance, showing clear signs of fatigue, slower reflexes, and diminished punching power.
07:04Still strong as an ox, but how much can you really expect him to do anything versus Floyd?
07:09Couldn't really land on, I mean, he landed like one or two punches on Jake, but couldn't really
07:12do much with him. What's he going to try to do with Floyd Mayweather? Floyd's going to
07:16make him look silly in this exhibition. And it's going to look worse than what we saw with Jake
07:21because of how small Floyd is. But Terrence Crawford said something interesting there as
07:26well. He said, you know, I've never seen Mike Tyson bite his gloves like that. And I think
07:30Terrence Crawford is a pretty big historian of the sport. And I'm not saying he should know
07:34everything about it. I certainly don't. But Mike Tyson has indeed bit his gloves. And this is what
07:40Terrence is talking about. This was the, the, uh, you know, narrative around the fight was that Mike
07:46Tyson was biting his gloves so that he wouldn't punch Jake in the face because that.
07:52Plemons points out that these weaknesses serve as a warning to anyone considering stepping into
07:57the ring with him at this stage of his career. Shifting focus to the anticipated fight against
08:01Floyd Mayweather, he emphasizes that Mike will face a far more challenging opponent. Unlike Jake,
08:07Floyd's approach relies not on brute strength, but on precision, speed, timing, and technical mastery.
08:13His combinations are calculated. His accuracy relentless and his ability to exploit an opponent's
08:19mistakes makes him a formidable challenge for anyone, even a legend like Tyson. According to
08:24Plemons, the matchup carries significant risk and may be unnecessary as it highlights Mike's
08:29vulnerabilities while giving Floyd a clear tactical edge. He concludes that the fight is not just
08:34difficult. It is a contest that probably shouldn't even be happening given the imbalance in readiness
08:40and style between the two fighters. And even the great Teddy Atlas has spoken about this with Tyson
08:45and his career. Questions out there. My son told me about the thumb biting. Okay. Thumb biting,
08:51right? And we're not talking about the thumb biting with your nephews or with your children or,
08:56you know, with, with that stuff. We're talking about Mike Tyson biting his thumb through the car.
09:00First of all, that's something that he did in his amateur day. He did in his pro days. And now
09:06of
09:06course he did it again. Um, that's something that he has done. Uh, and, and he's, you know,
09:12for people that follow Mike Tyson, his career, they've seen it before. Uh, people are saying,
09:17Oh, and Tyson's smart. He's witty. You know, he knows what to say. He knows the image. He knows
09:22the importance of, of having that image. You know, how important that's why he got all the money.
09:28It wasn't about what he had left at 58. It was what maybe he might have. And the, again,
09:33the image, the image, the, the scary guy. Jeff Mayweather breaks down why Floyd Mayweather's
09:39fights continue to capture attention and why certain matchups generate so much discussion. He believes
09:45that part of Floyd's enduring appeal comes from the perception that he was often the bad guy in
09:50boxing. Fans frequently felt that some of his victories, particularly against high profile
09:54opponents, left questions unresolved and created the impression that the wrong guy won. Floyd's
10:00personality contributed heavily to this narrative. He never shied away from provoking audiences or
10:05making statements that fueled dislike. And he consistently maintained that tension throughout his
10:10career. According to Jeff, this deliberate antagonism became a major reason why fans
10:15remained invested, attending fights and tuning in to witness the ongoing story. He also explains
10:20that the fight with Manny Pacquiao is a prime example.
10:23Do you like the, do you like the fight as a matchup? I mean, it's not like Floyd's jumping
10:28in with someone who's been necessarily so active. I know Manny had a fight last year, but other than
10:33that, he was off for a while. So yeah, what do you think of the matchup itself?
10:36I don't think that, that, that matchup is really off because I mean, he fought Barrios and I don't know
10:45if he had any more fights in between that or whatever, but the thing is, this is that you've got
10:50two guys
10:51that are, you know, old for boxing, but it's good for them to be fighting one another. So, and I
11:01mean,
11:01then plus they are two of the greatest fighters in boxing history. So, you know, that part is easy
11:11to sell that, that part is easy to sell. But the, you know, the one thing is this, is that,
11:17you know,
11:18it took a long time for that fight to happen. Many believe the outcome did not satisfy the public's
11:23desire to see Floyd challenged, which is why discussions about rematches or exhibition bouts
11:28persist. Jeff emphasizes that this dynamic with Floyd as the villain who repeatedly defeats
11:33challengers drives both excitement and revenue. Beyond commentary, Jeff is now focusing on personal
11:39ventures, including his new YouTube channel, Jeff Mayweather Official, and his clothing line,
11:45Playhouse Athletic, which he sees as a reflection of his family legacy. Through these projects,
11:49he continues to engage fans while celebrating the broader Mayweather brand.
11:53I think, I think, I think that the wrong guy won. So, that's why it's easy, because Floyd always
12:05was the bad guy. Once again, he's going to be the bad guy. And so, and I think that if
12:16there's any way
12:21to try to remove his O, it may happen.
12:28Do you believe this is a comeback for more than one fight? Do you believe we'll see him for three,
12:33four, however many fights?
12:35Um, I don't know. I just think that the fight with him and Pacquiao is one of those fights,
12:43like I said, that the wrong guy won. And I think that's why this fight is still happening.
12:49Ariel Helwani recently offered a detailed perspective on the current state of professional
12:54boxing, highlighting how unpredictable the landscape has become when it comes to high-profile
12:59fights. He noted that many fans and even fellow commentators, including Carl Frock,
13:04often interpret announcements about potential bouts as direct confirmations or endorsements.
13:08But the reality is much more complex. Helwani explained that organizing major fights involves
13:14multiple layers of negotiation, strategy, and timing that are rarely visible to the public eye.
13:20Some people like the likes of Carl Frock view that as an endorsement. Like, look, man, I'm just
13:24working. It's a big opportunity to be on Netflix. I didn't put the fight together. I'm not paying
13:28these guys. So, you know, let's chill out. But all right, I'm not going to poo-poo this. I just
13:34don't
13:34know what CSI is. And the way it was presented made me think that there was, like, a secondary
13:41press release to come that they'll be involved in, like, some sort of, like, virtual boxing thing.
13:46Like, it just didn't seem real. You know why it didn't seem real? I'll tell you why. There's no
13:50date attached to it. There's no venue attached to it. Forget rules. Exhibition, non-exhibition,
13:56weight. I mean, here's a guy who fought a heavyweight fighting. Forget all that. These things can
14:01get figured out. The fine details. The fact that it was announced. Why announce something
14:07with no date or location attached to it? From contract clauses and promotional agreements to
14:13fighter availability and logistical considerations, many factors can delay or even prevent a matchup
14:19from happening. He emphasized that his role is not to speculate recklessly, but to analyze and report
14:25on developments professionally, giving fans an informed view of the sport. According to Helwani,
14:29the excitement surrounding big names and flashy promotions can easily be misleading. Just because
14:35a fight is teased or discussed doesn't guarantee it will materialize. Until contracts are signed and
14:40all details are finalized, even the most anticipated events remain uncertain, and fans should temper
14:46expectations accordingly. You know, trying to get some investors or something like that. But maybe also
14:52testing the waters. If the response was overwhelmingly positive, maybe you go, okay, we move forward.
14:57If the response is muted or negative, maybe you go, okay, we're not going to actually do this.
15:02You know, you, you, you lob it out there as a, as a way to pull the public and then
15:07make an
15:08adjustment. You don't think it happens. I do not think it happens. I just don't think there'll be
15:11enough interest. I don't think I know they have huge name value. There's zero after the last performance
15:19by Mike Tyson against Jake Paul. I don't think there's going to be interest in seeing Mike Tyson
15:23do that again. I think if this came, if this match was made on the heels of Mike Tyson versus
15:30Roy Jones
15:31Jr., I think this would be blockbuster. I think people would be falling over themselves to consume
15:37this. After the Jake Paul version of Mike Tyson, I don't think anybody's going to be interested.
15:41Simon Jordan reacts to the recent developments surrounding Floyd Mayweather, expressing skepticism
15:47about the intrigue of his upcoming bouts. He points out that while Mayweather's unbeaten record
15:52and professional status might seem appealing, in reality, it doesn't add much for serious boxing
15:57fans. Jordan notes that even Manny Pacquiao's recent comeback against Mario Barrios revealed the
16:02limitations of fighters past their prime, showing what remains of their skills and stamina. He questions
16:08the reasoning behind Mayweather facing Mike Tyson, suggesting that such exhibitions are less about
16:13sport and more about entertainment. Jordan emphasizes the role of platforms like Netflix
16:17in transforming sport into a broader entertainment product. By investing in high-profile events such as
16:23Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson or Anthony Joshua, Netflix calculates commercial success based on subscriber
16:29growth and engagement rather than pure sporting merit. He highlights the financial incentives behind
16:35these decisions, noting how these fights generate massive attention and revenue.
16:39Add any intrigue to this at all?
16:43No. Not really. I don't think so. I mean, Manny Pacquiao's had a fight recently, hasn't he, against Mario Barrios,
16:49who's just lost his title to Ryan Garcia, deservedly so. And that was, you know, a draw in which most
16:56people
16:56saw Pacquiao at the end of his career, saw what was left of him, and were not too happy that
17:01he came back again.
17:03Floyd Mayweather has had a variety of different bouts. I mean, I hear that he's going to fight
17:08Mike Tyson. I don't understand what that thinking is. Or an exhibition. We've seen him fight and hold up
17:13Conor McGregor in an exhibition fight. It's Netflix building entertainment models around sport.
17:21Sport is entertainment. It crosses over. Netflix have got a proven model of success that
17:27ultimately they invest some money into these sort of things, whether it's Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson
17:31or Jake Paul versus Anthony Joshua. They look at their lifetime value of their average subscriber.
17:36Not every subscriber, but their average subscriber.
17:38According to Jordan, boxing today exists across a spectrum from elite competition to media-driven
17:44spectacles, where personalities, promotion, and audience engagement often outweigh athletic
17:49considerations. He sees platforms like Netflix as accelerating this evolution,
17:54creating opportunities for boxers and content providers alike, while engaging a global audience.
18:00Even if purists view some matchups as unnecessary or too late in a fighter's career, Jordan recognizes
18:06that the business model works, expanding boxing's reach and financial ecosystem.
18:11And then they multiply it by the amount of subscribers they think they're going to get as new ones,
18:14and they make a commercial decision.
18:16Well, that's interesting, isn't it? Because everything that they've done so far
18:19is massive. And this obviously will be a talking point. I mean, Anthony Joshua's knockout
18:24victory over Jake Paul in December wasn't something that the boxing fraternity wanted,
18:29but it appears to be that they understand what people want, what the rest of the community wants.
18:35And actually, I don't know if that's the algorithm or just good research or just good instincts,
18:39but they do great numbers.
18:41They have a 300 million subscriber base around the world, bigger than that now.
18:45I think the growth on the Mike Tyson, Jake Paul fight, they got 2 million subscribers out of it,
18:52new subscribers. Now, irrespective of whether some of those subscribers churn or don't stay
18:56for a long period of time, the average Netflix subscriber is worth $900.
19:01Some will be worth $1,500, some will be worth $2,999.
19:08Max Kellerman reflects on Floyd Mayweather's career, emphasizing how dominant and strategic
19:14he was both inside and outside the ring. He explains that Floyd mastered the art of timing,
19:19carefully choosing when to fight and, just as importantly, when to avoid opponents.
19:23Rather than facing fighters in their prime, Floyd often waited for opportunities that maximized his
19:28advantage, securing high-profile bouts and building immense financial success.
19:33Kellerman acknowledges that Floyd changed boxing in a way that benefited the sports elite,
19:38but also frustrated fans who wanted to see the most competitive matchups.
19:42But he did beat Pacquiao, and nobody has changed the game like Floyd, Muddy, Mayweather.
19:46Yeah.
19:47In a bad way.
19:47In a bad way, thank you.
19:49Yeah, you got it.
19:49In a bad way.
19:50He was so big and so dominant.
19:52I can't do that.
19:53He mastered the art of knowing when to fight somebody and when not to fight somebody.
19:57I mean, he's the best in that game.
19:59He's the best in, you know, making money and making all the, you know, the huge fights happen.
20:02But why?
20:03Because he was timing every single one of them.
20:05He never fought nobody really in their prime, prime.
20:20He points out that Floyd's approach was revolutionary.
20:24Instead of allowing fans and networks to exploit him, he flipped the dynamic, exploiting their
20:29expectations to his own benefit.
20:30This strategy, while brilliant for Floyd, sometimes left fans feeling shortchanged because the
20:35fights weren't always as competitive as hoped.
20:38Kellerman highlights that Floyd's skill in navigating both the business and athletic
20:42sides of boxing is unmatched, giving him a strong argument as one of the greatest fighters ever.
20:48However, Kellerman notes that while Floyd may have been the best at playing the boxing game,
20:53his dominance was as much about strategy and timing as it was about in-ring talent.
20:57The sport.
20:58Thank you very much.
20:59You got a bag for that.
21:01I had a little, you know, incentive.
21:03I mean, Floyd has even told me before the Pacquiao fight, he said, look, TBE, the best
21:09ever.
21:10Someone, you want to talk about inside the ring?
21:12Someone else could have that.
21:13Now, Floyd, I'm sure thinks it's him.
21:15And he has a hell of a case.
21:16Floyd is one of the, he has an argument for best fighter ever.
21:19I just don't have him number one.
21:21But what he said was, I'm talking about the whole game.
21:24He's right.
21:25Floyd played the boxing game better than anyone ever played the boxing game.
21:30And that's just for today's video.
21:32Stay tuned until next time.
