Has the outcome been pre determined?
Most likely yes, but I did not read this specific contract.
If you can get in the know you might be able to see that it's written in the contract what can happen, including circumstances to occur for any result. I do think that Paul can't lose, but could be a draw.
But there could be a stipulation allowing for a Tyson victory if he does end up hitting Paul so hard he knocks him the fukk out or cause injury to throw in the towel, but that may not be the aim.
Now, whether or not I'm right in my prediction, doesn't change the fact that things are in the contract. This is on odd blend of altered rules, slightly sanctioned celebrity boxing that somehow Paul might be able to count towards a pro fight.
Tyson has matured, but he is knowns to be a different animal when in a fight. He might say fukk the contract and straight up kill Paul. If Tyson can take punches, and hard ones, he will walk down Paul.
We should be able to tell early on, when we see Tyson's demeanor in the first round, what kind of fight this will be.
But given the promotions at hand, I don't think we're her for Paul to lose.
That said, I firmly believe that Mike Tyson is a wildcard, even still. Did the life of shrooms and weed chill out the animal within? We'll see.
We do know that Tyson is ok with standing there, maybe even with a loss, saying he's a philanthropist, and talk about donating to charity.
It's all about that gray area of celebrity boxing and sanctioned pro events. There's a reason this fight is in Texas, I read that many states decline to sanction the bout.
