Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul. Who yah got?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here's probably one time that so many misused him and
then they went to the locked closet. Oh, you just
hate that. It just takes one. It just takes one.
It really does.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Hey, it's Emory here, Matt Case is over there. We're
going to talk about this boxing match and stuff. But
I first wanted to talk about we were talking about
paid orseat endorsers or endorsees of politicians, Like you get
paid to then say, okay, I'll say I endorse you
don sent me an email and said this careful, emmery,
you're throwing us stones from inside a glasshouse. You make

(00:28):
paid endorsements for multiple k if they bee advertisers. Nothing
wrong with that, because it is required that you make
a full disclosure. It's an interesting point, he says, modest proposal.
Make that same requirement for paid political endorsements. And I say,
wait a second, you're onto something. Yes, I don't think
like an endorsement for a product is one thing. I

(00:50):
can use the product, you know, and even when I
don't use the product, I can know the people who
are selling the product. I don't just really nearly say
that I'm going to endorse a product that I don't
know anything about or that I don't know the person
that's in charge of it. That's a dangerous game. You
start endorsing all sorts of stuff that you don't even
really believe in. The next thing, you know, guess what,
everybody's mad at you because they didn't have a good

(01:12):
experience with somebody out there. So I think it's a
little bit different than if a politician's like, hey, tell
people you support me. You may not even actually support them.
You may not, But politics is a little bit different
because are the people who make decisions for you, Like
even if I told you over and over again that
I only use Scratchkey heating and cooling for my HVAC

(01:33):
system needs. Or if you know, going to Total Wine
and More, which is a brand new place off of
seventy second here in Omaha. You should check that place out.
I just went this this morning for the first time.
I saw that on your Facebook. Yeah, Total Wine and More.
Really happy to be endorsing them. Now. You know why
I endorse them. It's an incredible place. That's why I
shot there. I bought a ton of stuff there. You

(01:55):
know how much money I spent there today? Two hundred
and twelve dollars. Not quite that much, but yeah, that's all.
It's enough for me to get through, you know, the
holiday season. Thanks for undercutting me there, thank.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
You, I did it again. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
So, like it's a little bit different than hey, endorse
me the one person that could win this election, the
single person that could be making the rules. Even though
I'm endorsing Total Wine and More. That doesn't mean I'm
telling you, like under the shadow of a doubt, that
you can't go shop somewhere else. You have the freedom
to do that. I'm just telling you why Total Wine
and More makes sense for me, or scrats keating Coally

(02:27):
makes sense for me, or retires spart makes it, you
know what I mean. And if you think that my
perspective or my messaging makes sense to you, yeah, sure.
But I do like the idea of the disclosure because
I do have to disclose that, you know, I'm endorsing
these people, and I do. But you know what, I
would be interested if that had to be set because
Beyonce didn't show up and show everybody how much money

(02:48):
she was paid. Now that it has to be public
knowledge where the campaign finances go, right, because that's part
of campaign finance laws. You have to, like, all the
money has to be trackable. You can't just be like
embezzling it into different things or lying about where it goes.
There are laws about that. But I think it's important
that the actual people who are doing the paid endorsement,

(03:10):
if they were paid to do it and wouldn't have
otherwise endorsed that person, they need to make that clear.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Am I wrong? Crystal Clear? Thanks? Three ten? You know
what tonight is? I do know what tonight is. What
is it? It's the fight on Netflix? Wrong, UCLA plays Washington. Now,
I'm just kidding. You're right.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
When did they announce this? This was a while ago.
And what did you say? You said, this is not
this is a joke. You said, quite literally, this is
a joke. There's no way this actually will happen. I
said that somebody said that.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
It wasn't me. Oh it wasn't you. No, it wasn't Wait,
but you're saying it was me. I'm saying it could
have been you. Never it was somebody. Somebody said it
to me, somebody maybe it was Maybe it was you.
Maybe if somebody else, somebody, somebody said there's no way
they're gonna get fifty eight year old Mike Tyson into
a boxing ring. I would that was definitely not me.

(04:06):
I I don't know. I wouldn't make those kind of
claims because I have no idea. I didn't expect it
to do anything but happened. Why would they do it
if they wasn't gonna happen. Well, then he had some
ulcer something. They had to push it back. It was
supposed to be earlier this year. Well, he had some
old man condition. I mean, it's concerning. You know, Yeah,
he's an old man, I know. I mean there are
plenty of sixty year olds out there. Like, who you

(04:28):
calling old? He's fifty eight?

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Thing?

Speaker 1 (04:30):
You'll tell me he was constipated. So they had to
postpone it. Stop it. I'm just saying he likes cheese.
What do you want from the guy?

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Seriously, though, like, fifty eight years old is ancient in
boxing terms. I would not like Rocky Balboa his last
fight in the Rocky Balboa movie, what he's like fifty
eight close to sixty. He's about this same age. They
talk about it in the movie. You can go find it.
The whole idea is that people don't fight real fighters

(04:59):
and it's Jake Paul fighter. At this point, he's ten
to one seven KOs. He hasn't fought real legitimate boxers.
He's fought mostly celebrities but athletes, and he's knocked him out.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
What do we You know what I'm saying, isn't that weird?
Everything's weird nowadays?

Speaker 2 (05:16):
And they're using it's eight to two minute rounds for
this fight. It's the main event of a card that
includes you know a half dozen other fights. It starts
at seven o'clock hour time. The Tyson and Paul fight
is scheduled for eight two minute rounds. Usually it's three
minute rounds. They also are going to be using fourteen
ounce gloves instead of ten ounce gloves, And I'm trying
to think, like that's i think supposed to protect the

(05:39):
fighters more because you can't get as much speed into
the hits, right like UFC those guys, I mean, the
gloves are like what two ounce gloves like, they're they're tiny.
They barely just cover up their knuckles right that way
they can grab onto stuff. So fourteen ounces, I'm interested
to know like how that's going to impact, cause four
ounces is a lot of difference in like the way
that you can maneuver and how that's gonna feel. Yeah,

(06:02):
they're gonna be heavier, but it's gonna slow down even
just a little bit some of the impact. You would think,
what do you think happens here? Is this like it's happening?
And did you see what happened yesterday in their face off?
I did Mike walks over to him and slaps them
in the face and.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Mike WHI like, okay, Mike Tyson walks up there in
socks and underwear walks up to this thing. Yeah, because
they did their way in.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
They had to make sure they made weight, as if
that was going to stop this fight if one of
them didn't make weight. What was even the weight? I mean,
let's be honest, they didn't even They didn't even say
they were fighting at a specific weight.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
They're just doing it because that's what you do in
these things. I think they had to be under two thirty. Yeah,
so they're heavyweight. Yeah, heavyweight, but still, of course what
happens if you're over two thirty, then you're overweight. You
didn't make weight fight off, really, so you have to
be under something to be heavyweight. Yeah, you can't just
be like as big as you want. Well, I mean,
I'm sure that there. Well, that depends. So how did

(06:56):
Butterbean make it to all these fights?

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Like heavyweight and like wrestling is typically like two twenty five,
so you can't be you still have to make weight. Butterbean,
by the way, an exhibition boxer really kind of I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
I think he was a real boxer.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
He was actually a real boxer, but he was called
Butterbean for a reason. He knocked plenty of people out.
But he looks like a giant turkey. I mean, it's
just the whole reason they called him Butterbean.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Guess who else is fifty eight years old Butterbean and
he's three hundred and four pounds. Yeah, so I don't know.
I don't a whole lot of butter I don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
I think they have different rules for different things, especially
if they're exhibitions. Okay, but you have to still make
weight if you're going to do one of these things,
and it'd be legitimate.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
The number one search thing on butter Bean is when
did Butterbean die? He's still alive.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
He's the same age as Mike Tyson. It sounds like, yeah, anyway,
there you go.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
We'll talk.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
We'll talk about what we think is going to happen,
and if you've got some thoughts on this, or if
there's anybody else out there that you think you would
roundly like to see get punched in the face, because
I think Jake Paul falls into that for a lot
of people even know who he is, and for a while,
Mike Tyson, I think people would have figured Mike Tyson
needs a good, you know, couple of right hooks. I'd
love to see him get knocked out. Although Buster Douglass

(08:11):
did do that. Mike Tyson did lose some fights, not
a lot of them, but a few of them. And
now he's back into the ring for the first time
in over twenty years or something twenty ish years. It's
been twenty five years since you could consider him being
in his prime, and here he is back into the
ring again. I think a lot of people are going
to be interested in this, for good or for bad.
By three sixteen, we'll talk more here on news Radio

(08:33):
eleven to ten KFAB. It's going to be on Netflix,
and we talked about this before. We clarified this. You
don't have to pay extra to watch this on Netflix
Tonight like, this is just a thing that anybody can
watch as long as you have Netflix, any Netflix subscriber.
This is the kind of thing that would have cost
you one hundred bucks to get on pay per view
just a few years ago, and now all of a sudden,
here it is.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Anyway, phone lines are open four two, five, five, eight
elevens and we're taking your thoughts on this this wing
ding tonight. Mike is on the line. Mike, Welcome to
the show today. What do you got on your mind today?

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Hey, Emory, good afternoon to you. Real quick, before I
talk about this fight, you know you was talking about
Elon giving money away and stuff like that, and I
now remember Obama gave away cell phones back in the day.
The Democrats, per the Washington Post, this year paid seventy

(09:25):
five thousand people one hundred and sixty dollars each just
to contact like a dozen of their friends and family.
What you do the math, that equates to twelve million dollars.
So it goes on both sides. Yeah, Elon or whatever,
And okay, so on this fight, right. I'm an older guy.
I've been training jiu jitsu since I was forty four.

(09:48):
I was cornhusker State Wrestling when I was forty, I
went down there in the heavyweight and got a bronze
medal and freestyleion I sparred with some of the better
kick boxers around in the Midwest. Life sparring. Now, don't
don't hit kick me into next week, fellas, all right,
But so I'm a diehard combat sports fan. So I

(10:10):
don't know quite what to think about Jake Paul because
now I have a ton of respect for him. He
was a high level wrestler. He's been training hard and
boxing for years and years. That guy's a big dude
with a nasty right hand, Okay, and now now he's
fot Now it's so weird because he's fought legends in MMA.
He fought Anderson Silva, He's fought Nate Diaz. He just

(10:31):
beat Mike Mike Perry. Mike was a high level UFC
star and is probably the biggest name in bare knuckle
boxing right now, and he's taking them all. So I
got no problems with Mike going in on this. He
looks in great shape. And the reason he slapped Jake
yesterday is because Paul stepped on his toe and that's
why he planted. He came out and stepped on his toe.

(10:52):
But I honestly, I don't I don't know. I'm still
trying to figure out if some of these fights are
legit with Jaker, and I think they are, but I
don't know. And I've heard rumors to him ory like
stuff that's leaked out of this contract. Well, if Mike
knocks him out within under two rounds and then he
doesn't get paid percentage of this money, and they are
using the fourteen ounce gloves and it is only two minutes,

(11:14):
the fourteen ounce gloves are more that's sparring gloves, you know,
So they're not going to kill each other.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeallo, software right, Mike, Mike.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Mike looks in pretty good shape for me to my
eye test his He's still got a lot of pop
on his punch. His speed's not quite there. I'm not
quite sure on his balance. Jake catches him with the
right hand, he can knock him cold. But the thing is,
Mike's probably got forgotten so many combos that Jake has
no idea of. You know, Mike catches them with a
liver shot and an uppercut. Well, good night to Jake.

(11:42):
You know, I think Jake has If he wins, he
beats an old man, and you know, what do you
gain out of that? If he loses, he got knocked
out by a sixty year old. So it's an interesting
it's an interesting fight. I don't like I said, I
don't even know if these are all legit, and I'm
a diehard combat sports fan. So but I have no problem.
You know, if Mike's helthy, if the doctor's cleared him,
if that's what he wants to do, I got no

(12:03):
problem with it.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, okay, So Mike, let me just go ahead and ask,
I mean, you have to pick one. Who do you
think gets it done? And how right are they going
to go the distance here? Or do you think that
somebody's gonna get knocked out?

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Okay, So, if this is all on the legit, if
we're saying this is totally that, there's no.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
And I'm with I'm with you on that.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
I'm I'm still skeptical about all of that as well,
but let's just say it is.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
If it is, I think I think Jake probably gets
it by I think the ref will probably stop it
before Mike can get Now he could, like I said,
he's got listen, he's got a legit right hand, and
he could. It's about, you know, six to one. He's
close to two thirty, and he can knock into next
week if I think, I think the REF stops it before.

(12:49):
I think the REF stops it before Mike gets to her,
kind of like what happened with Connor McGregor and jan
Floyd Mayweather. You know, they stopped it before Floyd really
started punishing them. Now again, Mike, again, he's got so
many combos. If Jake's not in proper position defensively, his
technique's not good defensively, it gets wild and Mike, Mike
goes to that body and comes up with upper cuts

(13:10):
her hooks. He still has the power to knock him cold.
But I think everything's on the up and up. I
think Jake wins by stoppage somewhere maybe fifth or sixth round,
and the REF stops it before Mike takes too much damage.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
I'm hearing that, Mike. Hey, I appreciate you calling in
on this man. It's I socking up people who know
what they're talking about. Thanks for calling in weekend. Yeah
yeah you two man? Thanks all right? What about you?
What about you? There beb.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
I say, Mike Tyson wins it. That's what I think.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
He said that as soon as they announced this. Yeah,
why do you feel that way?

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Because I feel that way and in fact, what happened yesterday,
Although that's childish and silly, and I think the whole
Staredown thing is just my personal opinion. I think I've
always seen that, and there are certain things that just
make you that.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
It's every single combat sport, though, I mean, yeah, even
pro wrestling has kind of started to do some of
that stuff.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
We though theirs is a little bit.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
They're able to kind of manipulate it a little differently
because it's not as legit.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
It will never not make me cringe. That's just me.
Every time I see it. I think the way they
get nose to nose and they're all like trying to
act tough and stare each other down, it's just it's
just stupid. That's just my personal opinion.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
So if you and I got into a fight and
they said, look, we'll pay you both seventeen thousand dollars each,
that's weird total to get paid for this. But let's
say that that's what's on the line for us. But
you have to make appearances to promote the fight, and
then the day before the fight, you both have to
go in your skivvies, wag in, make sure you are

(14:46):
a weight, and then you have to act really angry
against each other and stare each other down to make
people want to watch this fight.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
I wouldn't do it. You would not do it. Wouldn't
do any of that. I would never agree to a fight. No,
come on, besides that, No, besides what? How much money?
How much money do they have? It does them a
different person? So let's pretend I'm a different person. Is
that what you want? Like wrestling? Yes, sure, that's exactly
what they say. Is my name is? Is? Is Melvin? Melvin? Uh?

(15:21):
You didn't think about a last name yet? No, you're alias.
We look around the room, Melvin Goat? And what is
that on the on the calendar? He's a goat? Yeah,
it's a ram. My name is Melvin Mountain goat? And uh,
what do I have to do? Why are we doing this?

Speaker 2 (15:39):
We're fighting? They're paying us to do a boxing match,
like a celebrity boxing match. I don't want to do it,
you and me against each other.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
I wouldn't do it.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Well, we'll take care of each other. We'll use four well,
we'll use twenty ounce gloves. You will, but you'd barely
feel that. It's like we're rock'm sockem boppers. It's just
isn't for me sock'm boppers. You and me soccer match
in the middle. How much money do we have to
get on the line here? Not for the winner, You
and me are going to get the exact amount, no
matter who wins. How much money that has to be

(16:08):
on the line for you to say, okay, I'll do it.
There's got to be a number. You can't tell me
you wouldn't do that against me. I'll take care of you.
We just have to sell some tickets. We have to sell.
Some people want to see this thing. But you and me,
we'll talk about it. I'm not gonna kill you. I'm
not gonna hurt you. I'm not worried about that. Oh
it was that right? No, but seriously, and I'll take
some shots. I'll let you get some good ones on me.

(16:30):
How much money does it take for you to do
the whole thing, the promotion tour, the way in, the
stare down and the fight.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
How much money? I don't know. I've never thought of this.
It's this is nothing that I've ever considered. It's not
the sport for me. I respect people who like different things.
You're asking the wrong guy.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
If I put fifty grand on the table right now,
would you say yes? No, I'm not even close, not
even close. You have to do nothing but fight, like
like do a boxing match in front of people with me. Yeah,
fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Wouldn't do it.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Thousand dollars I would do it. If they put twenty
on the table, I'd probably do it, and I wouldn't
even like. I would fall, I would take it. I
would take a hit. I would, I would go down.
It's pretty I don't know. Matt's a bigger man than
I am. I and these guys are making millions upon
millions for this thing, So something to keep in mind.
