Truly don't know how anyone can take Jake Paul seriously

Dude fights washed MMA fighters and now senior citizens.
The kids a cash cow. I give him credit for building the brand and staying true to the gimmick

As a boxer? No way to tell how good he is until he fights a relevant boxer. His only fight against anyone remotely resembling a true boxer, he lost

Taylor Serrano was fight of the year potential

I was proud of Mike to be honest. Most badass thing about it was the post fight interview where he said “not sure, don’t think I’m done” when asked, almost sarcastically, what was next.

Seeing him get knocked out would have broken my heart. Also, Jake Paul can’t fight worth a shit.

Best fight was the co main event. Those ladies brawled.

Paul is a legit tough kid and knows how to make money but he has a long way to go before he's taken seriously as a boxer.

He eventually will think he’s that good or is and will fight someone legit

He’s no different than a lot of fighters if he wants it bad and puts time in he can get the best out of himself

He’s not my cup of tea I think he’s an ass hat but he’s 27 and made millions he’s copying his heroes

Eventually he will be riding a motor cycle over 20 Greyhound busses at Caesar’s Palace

I can't believe people still pay to watch these Jake Paul fights. He's not going to lose, and it's not because he's actually good, its because the moment he loses the cash grab is over. More people pay to see if he loses than see if he wins. These are nothing more than the WWE equivalent of boxing. Now someone might be thinking "but why would Tyson agree to lose to Paul?"......

In the words of Cam Neely, I can think of $20 million reasons why. Even if you look at the "unanimous decision" it was barley in Paul's favor. Paul gets to keep his shtick going, milking people for money. Tyson can claim that even though he was 30yrs older than Paul, he wekt the distance & barley lost.

When my wife and I were in Hawaii for our honeymoon, we did a harbor cruise in Maui. They turned all the lights off on the boat and you could see the Milky Way streaking across the sky. One of my favorite moments of the trip and we definitely will do that again when we get back there.

Appreciate it everyone.

She ate a little just now. It's just so hard to see your dog decline. I am grateful for the 14 1/2 years. But damn. I've had enough of my animals unexpectedly passing away.

At least with her...it's not unexpected. It's just a decline. She's got arthritis.


I'll be seeing what the next few days bring. Send good vibes.
Sending Oceans of Love to you and your pupper...

I hate Jake Paul as much as the next guy, but this notion that he can't fight/box is very overplayed. Reminds me of when everyone use to crap on Scal and he had that whole Scal Challenge thing and wiped the floor with everyone who wasn't a professional NBA player. That fight went exactly how it was going to go last night. Mike Tyson was going to look like a 58 year old man and Paul was going to win by decision and make sure Tyson went the distance.


As with a lot of boxing matchings, by the time the fight starts, all the money has been made. the ppv have been purchased, the bets have been placed, the advertising dollars spent, so the product in the ring is irrelevant

I'm at a wedding today where there's about a 3 hour gap between the mass and the reception, which is pretty annoying, not gonna lie. What are guests supposed to do during that time? I understand the difficulties of booking venues, but that's pretty inconsiderate.

Headed home to kill time but have to keep my suit on and can't really do anything big.

Three f***ing hours???

Never do a combined vacation with them. You will spend more time waiting for flight layovers.

Congratulations to the couple

I have been to quite a few weddings like that, sometimes it can't be helped due to scheduling. Usually the wedding party is somewhere having pictures taken, I didn't think it was that unusual. Definitely a pain for guests though.

This happened at my cousin’s wedding last month, the ceremony was at 2 and the reception not until 5. Luckily for us my uncle rented an AirBnB nearby so we all hung out there waiting for the reception to start, because I don’t know what we would have done otherwise.
