Shannon in Kansas City YT: Shannon's Bible Study IG:@showmeshannon

I don’t follow boxing but I know there was a big match last week. The fight was between internet personality and boxer Jake Paul and legendary boxer Mike Tyson. This boxing match should have never happened and it shows how much common sense, respect and boundaries are lacking in American society. This is yet another event that puts America’s racism on full display.

Mike Tyson is fifty eight years old. He was born in 1966. Jake Paul is twenty seven and was born in 1997. I don’t know why people are acting like this match is normal. High profile sporting events feature opponents in their prime. Jake Paul is a young man in his prime and Mike Tyson is eligible for senior citizen discounts. Jake Paul was born when Mike Tyson was in his prime.

This fight was highly disrespectful and took advantage of a vulnerable person. Tyson says he wants to fight again but Tyson wasn’t playing with a full deck from the start. He should have never been allowed to sign a contract for that fight. He shouldn’t have even been asked. Paul was declared the winner of this fight so it was good for his career. There are no official reports or how much money was made from the fight but this article shares that it is rumored that Paul made 40M, Tyson made 20M and 60M households watched the boxing match on Netflix. A lot of money was made from elder abuse and the elder made the least amount of money.

Paul nor Tyson have any pride. Paul should want to fight other men in their prime. Tyson shouldn’t have degraded himself with such nonsense. He’s a boxing legend and he has nothing else to prove. He should have been at a diner enjoying his senior discount.

Furthermore, the Paul vs. Tyson fight was racist. Imagine a young Black man in his prime fighting a White man that is nearly sixty and being put on a pedestal and declared the winner. This fight was organized to make a young White man a boxing star by giving him an advantage.

This high profile fight was an example of taking advantage of a person with cognitive, personal and intellectual problems and elder abuse. Netflix, Jake Paul and everyone that watched that fight should be ashamed of themselves. Once again I’m embarrassed and disturbed by American culture.
