 I watched the thing. I resubbed with netflix for a month to watch
it. Wife was a bit mad about it but hey, we have unlimited access to
some old movies and 80s tv shows for a month. It's like MeTV withhout the
commercials.
 Quite possibly the worst boxing match I've ever seen. I'm nearly
convinced Tyson came in high on something. Appeared at the venue wearing
chaps with nothing underneath, so he flashed the world his naked ass,
something we can't unsee. Tyson was a far cry from anything we saw in
his training videos. His demeanor in the ring was lethargic until it
came time to avoid the punches. He did plenty of defense to avoid injury.
 And I'm pretty sure they had a no-knockout clause on the contract. Tyson
didn't attack Paul at all and played defense the whole time. If it were
a real fight, Tyson would've knocked out Paul - but that would've ended
Paul's "career."
 The whole thing is suspicious, but at the end of the day, Tyson earned
about a million dollars a minute dancing in the ring with his wobbly
legs. Paul earned about two million a minute. Not a bad payday.
 

The show was as it was meant to be, but the scripting was less than low grade wrasslin'.
