This wasn’t a “real” fight in the ring. It was clearly a hype/money fight only. The late 20 year old boxer has a massive following (or hate following) with younger age groups; and Mike Tyson brings the older age groups out. Mike has earned somewhat of a legendary status.
Leading up to the fight, there were many staged interactions meant to rile up the audience and generate hype and drive subscription revenue, and subsequently make ad spots a premium ($$$).
Unfortunately, American television/entertainment is so fake. I can’t get even be bothered to engage or invest time into it anymore.
