I think I’ll be cheering for Mike.

I’m rooting for the day nobody cares about this type of thing.

Personally, I am rooting for the stage to win the match. Fuck this PR stunt.

It’s hard to root for anyone in boxing because boxing isn’t a team sport in the same way as, say, an NFL game played by the Buffalo Bills. Based on the little I know about them both, I’m rooting for Mike.

Why does being a team sport or not affect whether you can root for them?

Not OP, but I kinda agree with them.
Teams are abstract, it’s easier to project your own ideals on to them. Not completely unlike respecting the office, even if loathing the politician currently holding it. It becomes “our thing”.
Also teams have longevity, or at least potential for longevity. Where I live, the two major local ice-hockey teams are founded in 1928 and 1967. There are families with generations of fans. Athlete’s career could be over in a decade.

Not going to watch because boxing is an incredibly boring sport. But I hope Jake Paul wins so he can continue his rise in the sport and keep putting on big fights for the boxing fans.
The bigger he becomes the more of an impact he can have with raising fighter pay in the ufc.

Sorry. Let me rewrite this to be more inline with lemmy opinion.
Looking forward to an old Mike Tyson knocking out Jake Paul because Jake Paul is a bad person! Jake Paul has no chance because Mike Tyson was a champion 30 years ago and has posted short heavily edited footage where he looked like a God on the pads.

Don’t care.
