    I don’t want to defend Mr. Beast. I’ve never watched any of his content. But the criticisms of him seem to be things like how distasteful performative charity is. And like, a few minor business disputes. And possibly being a bit too quick to dismiss someone on his team who allegedly groomed minors.

    Jake Paul has been accused of sexual assault and is pretty well established as racist. Heck, he wore Hulk Hogan swag the night of this match. He’s pushed outright crypto scams on his followers.

    Andrew Tate has more than a decade of plenty of accusations of sexual assault, including against minors, and human trafficking. He has paid out millions of dollars and still has outstanding criminal cases in multiple countries.

    I don’t know any of these people personally, but just looking at publicly available information from a distance it seems unfair to Mr. Beast to put him in the same group as actual criminals, racists, and sex offenders. It’s okay to just mildly dislike people.

      It also only benefits them.

      Saying how much [CELEBRITY] annoys you, only spreads their name and recognition and clicks on their content.

      The problem is these internet personalities have IRL influence and have committed IRL crimes and have gotten away with it because of their influence.

      Andrew Tate evaded rape and human trafficking charges he himself admitted he was guilty of because of his influence.

      Jake Paul also has credible accusations of rape he’s also evaded, while being a big MAGA promoter to dumb youth that will eventually be voting age.

      And Mr. Beast has been not so subtly supporting and promoting fascists like Elon Musk, while opening businesses for tyrants such as the Saudi Royal family, all in front of hundreds of millions of young audience members, all who will eventually reach voting age. Not to mention all the controversies that were revealed such as hiring pedophiles to appear in his videos, abusing employees, etc.

      Nerds screeching about what they call sportsball and getting riled. Making sure it stays a headline and he gets 150M for the next fight 🤣.

    I read that Paul got his jaw double-broken, and the guy was smiling at him when he knocked him out.

    Talk about a public service, beating Jake Paul’s ass and shutting him up for a month.

    Glorious.

    One of these days that fake face he’s been wearing for years, the one that makes him have that weird smile, will start peeling off and the mark of the beast on his forehead will be very noticeable!

        Nice. Thanks for sharing.

        I like that the guy that beat Tate was wearing pink boxing gloves. I’m sure there are some of his followers will think he’s less of an alpha now. 🙄

        Very satisfying to watch. Thank you. Absolute arrogance to get in the ring at 39 as unskilled as he is. I’m speaking from experience; had to give up the ghost at 36. Your body just will not recover from hard training as fast beyond your mid thirties. You can absolutely look lean and strong but you’ll never have the same levels of fitness.

        He ate the shots in fairness, but that’s it’s own bonus.

    I tried searching for it but I don’t see any fights he lost against an amateur in the results. He did get his jaw broke by a boxer his age, Anthony Joshua the former Two Time Heavyweight, TKO. He also lost to some guy named Tommy Fury who was also already a professional light heavyweight with an 8-0 record before the fight, winning in a split decision.

      Jake Paul is an excellent boxer. Not professional top 50, but he’d beat the living shit out of 99.9% of the planet. He can probably beat the shit out of most gym owners and trainers in their prime. But yeah he gets knocked out by one of those top 50 for 100M and you got fat flabby nerds coming out of the woodwork to talk trash.

        Unless he went “LET ME IIINNNN!!!” at some point early in his career…

        Also note that Epstein is not the only one, see P Didler, so if he does that kind of stuff, he does it with someone else, or even he could be the leader of one. (No evidence so far to support either)

      You wouldn’t be surprised to see him in the files? I think you mean “yes” you would (since it would make zero sense).

      Bold for you to assume everyone in here watches them.

      Even more bold to vigorously defend them like you do while sounding as douchy as you do.

      If you wanna watch them then go for it but do you mind letting us just have opinions? I kinda wanna listen to everyone else in here.

        You don’t think they track sm links and tracking who is trending and use those numbers to build the next package? He already made the current payday, he’s earning his next.

          You’re in this thread worshipping this guy and justifying his existence in a sport you have intimate knowledge of and we’re the nerds?

          This is pretty funny. Even morons can be nerds, as you’ve expertly proven.

          Wouldn’t this require the multitude of folks making fun of that fucking caveman, to watch said fights and actually pay to view them? Nobody here gives a fuck how much money he’s making.

      in my defense, me watching the fight makes them like a dollar richer or something, so it’s not MY fault, it’s everyone ELSE’S fault

      OP is right, though abrasive.

      Engagement is engagement. The more people talk about Tate and Paul, even if it’s negative, the bigger their mansions get.
