*NEW DATE* Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson exhibition - Netflix - 15th November 2024 (Texas)

[Tarquin Tarpaulin IV]

That's not true either - schoolboy boxing and intra-Cambridge fights weren't just sparring, there was a bell and a referee. I've stated that the first time I ever tried with the lighter gloves I was on floor within seconds so I'm hardly boasting.

Look - you've been hostile to me on another thread so you clearly don't like me. I've been on this forum for over 20 years and never had a problem with anyone before. Let's just block each other as life is far too short for acrimony.

I don't lie - perhaps as someone who has been a top level solicitor for over 25 years (if you don't believe that I can send you a copy of my Practicing Certificate) my phrasing can seem nuanced but I'm never false.

All the best


Loynesy

You’re 100% lying. Cambridge university is an ABA licensed club and they would have bouts with non regulation 16oz gloves.

Your out of touch.
Yes Cambridge University have a club registered with England Boxing but inter university boxing has frequently taken place outside of the NGB's control and regulations.

There's also confusion regarding glove sizes for formal competition. Up to 67k, 10oz gloves are worn, over 67k, 12oz.

Whilst the size worn has some relevance it's just another consideration along with age, weight, experience and ability.

[gp.]

Sensible move. If Tyson isn't up to the fight at the moment, it makes all sorts of sense to postpone it until he gets younger.

[ironbeard]

. . . hopefully forever.

[SeanBrennan]

. . . hopefully forever.

Amen and agreed.

[big lennox]

. . . hopefully forever.

Amen and agreed.

Agreed.

Can someone tell me what do these Paul brothers actually do , I read they have a billion followers on ticky toc , and intagram , but i'm not on them so can't quite follow what they actually do , i've read there influenzers , so besides giving out colds and flu , what do they actually do or did to make them so rich and famous , Or are they a bit like them Kardashian women just famous for being famous , or sucking dick .

I find things very frustrating nowadays , its a different world to what i was brought up in thats for sure

Various things from what I know but famous for having a huge YouTube following as youngsters playing pranks on people and that earned them an absolute fortune as it generates income from advertising.

I have no idea mate, they make me feel old. They get lauded as marketing geniuses, I have no idea what their genius is. Good luck to them but I think they just have a social media presence as opposed to any actual skill or talent.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Apparently, RJJ wants to fill this gap..

Is that a worser option?

If it wasn’t for Belfort it would have been Holyfield I bet.

Digital marketing - that's what it's all about - creating specific content to drive other people to your content, and then make money from advertising.

thanks, I work in business development and know digmar it's important but it just seems utterly empty in terms of purpose, like a meaningless facade with zero substance. I sit in meetings about marketing strategies and want to gouge my eyes out. I once endured a 3 hour meeting on nudge theory for marketing, I will never get those hours back.

As empty as it is, it works.

[Deserter]

My last role involved a lot of immersion in the 'creator economy' so I thought I'd share a different perspective just in case it's helpful in terms of understanding why it's grown and how it works.
So back in the day, if you wanted to distribute any media, you needed a lot of capital - launching a TV station, printing a newspaper, setting up a radio station... you get the picture. This meant that relatively few people were able to create and distribute content at any kind of meaningful scale.
Fast forward to now and tech advancements have meant those barriers to entry have been removed - think of it as a democratization of content, because virtually anyone can now have their own channel and build their own audience.
Yes, that means there is a lot of crap out there, but fundamentally I think this is a great thing, compared to the old world where a relatively small amount of powerful people determined what you read, listened to or watched.
I think where it causes confusion is we tend to zero in on a few high profile creators that divide opinion and equate that with disliking the medium. I'm no fan of either Paul brother, for example, but equally I disliked an awful lot of crap TV and presenters back in the day, so I just didn't watch them. The same with magazines - I thought stuff like Hello and OK! were absolute junk, but mags like Boxing News and Loaded 'spoke to me'.
By the same token, these creators thrive or die on their ability to connect with their target audiences - it's the age-old art of storytelling, with the only real difference being that tech means you can just reach way more people.
In terms of monetisation, the core element in advertising based on reach, but it's expanded way beyond that now into areas like sponsorships and product.
The creator economy is only going to grow and i think the beauty of it is access - take fitness as just one example, if I'd wanted to learn anything from muscle-ups to mobility, back in the day, I may have stumbled across a couple of relevant articles in Men's Health or a similar publication twice a year - now I can go on to YouTube and get amazing tutorials for free that help my learning and development massively.
PS. Know I'm a geek about these things so sorry if it's too long a post, but just wanted to share in the hope it would be insightful for some.

Digital marketing is about to get hollowed out anyway, AI is likely to replace search engines soon, which will entirely disrupt the marketplace.

Check this out, you might be interested in this. It's mind blowing the potential for this, in terms of the line between 'consumer' and 'creator.'

I think this is probably by far the most interesting application yet I've seen of the technology, - I don't know how old you are, but this reminds me of the 'choose your own adventure' books and Steve Jackson's excellent series 'fighting fantasy. but on steroids, the possibilities are really limitless.'

James, I'm 52 and LOVED Jackson's books so you've knocked it out the ballpark with that reference!
You've brought back some great memories - just did a quick google and genuinely can remember 'playing' The Warlock of Firetop Mountain' when I was in my first year at my hometown comp!
Anyway, thanks for sharing that article as hadn't read it yet - agreee 100% about the potential and Hollywood as we've known it in our lifetime is definitely in its death throes because of this type of advancement. The next few years are going to be a wild ride!

Couldn't care less about this shit

[SeanBrennan]

Couldn't care less about this shit

I am confident I could care less than even this mate

It is a non-subject for me

[tigermoth87]

Can't we just ban these sideshows from being discussed here?

Might as well start discussing WWE too. It's just as authentic as a youtuber and a washed up rapist having a sparring session and making sure not to hit each other hard
