What Happened When I Tried to Watch That Tyson Fight
So I heard everybody screaming about Mike Tyson slapping Jake Paul around on some stream. Woke up Saturday morning craving to see those famous punches myself.
Opened my laptop and typed “Tyson vs Paul live” like a dumbass first. Got hit with nothing but clickbait previews and highlight clips. Felt like chasing my own tail.
First Try – Netflix
Checked Netflix real quick cause they’ve had some fights before. Searched Tyson’s name and boom… nothing but docs and old movies. Felt like ordering pizza and getting salad.
Second Try – Twitter Hustle
Hopped on Twitter next. Saw dudes posting screenshots yelling “LIVE LINK IN BIO!!!”. Clicked three different profiles that all pulled the same scam:
- Page 1 made me download some “HD Streamer” app that asked for credit card
- Page 2 redirected me to shady Russian betting site
- Page 3 showed pixelated slideshow pretending to be live
Absolute garbage. Closed Twitter pissed.
The ESPN+ Disaster
Remembered ESPN+ streams boxing sometimes. Paid the $10 monthly fee thinking I finally got it.
- Logged in and the main page showed tennis highlights
- Sports section had UFC stuff but zero boxing
- Searched “Jake Paul” – only interviews and old press conferences
Cussed at my screen for three minutes straight. $10 flushed.
What Finally Worked
Texted my cousin Marcus who always watches fights. He schooled me:
- Turns out this specific fight was ONLY on this new site called “VisionRumble”
- Had to pay $50 pay-per-view AFTER subscribing $10 monthly
- Could only pay through crypto or prepaid cards
Bought a damn Visa gift card at Walgreens, signed up sweating bullets about payment going through. Stream was choppy for first round but smoothed out after. Saw the whole slapfest in grainy 720p. Marcus laughed when I told him it cost me $60 total.
Felt like jumping through flaming hoops just to watch two rich dudes slap each other. Next time? Might just wait till someone posts the knockout punch on TikTok.
