@RobeOfTheMagi I knew nothing good would come from it.

To be fair, I do t know what about a bout between a social media guy and a 60 year old man doesn’t portend a boring event.
You are 100% right. Full disclosure…I bought the hype/hoped Tyson would beat the annoying social media guy. That being said if I didn’t have a Netflix account,I wouldn’t have gotten one just to see the fight. I agree with others that the Taylor/Serrano bout was great.
-
@RobeOfTheMagi agreed… Tyson is no clown
-
@Matt as if you need $20 mil - $50 is all it takes

Guys! When will the Iron Heart be brought to us? We are already like homeless people))

@Jett129 I didn’t watch but I saw a clip of Tyson feinting at his head as if to say “get your hands up!”
Really looked rigged AF in that moment.
-
@mclaincausey There were record setting amounts of money bet on this fight,and I’m of the opinion that whenever betting on any kind of sporting event,one should always entertain the possibility of “Larceny” and wager accordingly.

@mclaincausey It's inconceivable to me that anyone could bet on a football game with any level of confidence.

@Jett129 it’s now getting to be that way in college football too, for different reasons. I think the transfer portal seems to have resulted in more parity and anything can happen. I feel like it is purer in many ways than the NFL, including the influence of officiating, though.

We’re sorry about this, but we cannot ship to Russia with our UPS account at the moment, so things are out of our control. If you have a friend in a country nearby willing to help facilitate shipping, drop us an email

Good afternoon buddy. Thanks for the answer. So far there are difficulties in everything. I have friends and relatives in Europe. But there are difficulties with delivery and transfer of money. I pray to God that life will get better. For now I'm mixing Iron Heart with Momotaro. Extending the pleasure)))

@Giles I appreciate your humor)) I'm ready to love him to death with my trouser belt)))

@Jett129 yeah all my friends seemingly bet on sports. NFL is so rigged it’s like betting on WWE to me.
Doesn't the NFL have some strange legal side-steps with how they refer to their athletes? To negate bans for drug abuse etc. If they're down as an entertainment business too, then that's truly leaning into the WWE framework.

I'm not aware of this. They definitely have a performance enhancing substance policy which is worded that way to specifically open it up beyond illegal drugs. I'm not on board with the NFL rigging conspiracy theories, I just think the rules are too heavily reliant on in person officiating on the field when there are so many different camera angles to take advantage of. I understand that seeing the the game while its moving from the field perspective leads to a lot of missed calls and I understand how excessive calls result from the league emphasizing certain actions. It's a lot easier to spot a foul from above after you've seen the replay 5 times. @mclaincausey likes to wear his IHC-TF (tin foil).
