Olympic gold medalist boxer and former world champion, Anthony Joshua fought a You-tuber Jake Paul last night and the world of boxing criticised Joshua. What were we after? To be entertained by Joshua having his head punched off right? But for Joshua, why would he not take a fight that is said to have earned him £70million, to fight a guy who was unlikely to land a single meaningful punch on him! Clever guy Joshua! He went in, stroll in the park, gets his £70m and off he goes!
Now, how much of this reported £70m gets to Joshua’s bank account? Let’s say, £10m. The rest goes to his promoter, his team of countless staff etc. So, for about 20 minutes of him walking around Jake Paul, he has made a bunch of money for himself and those around him. Well done to him!
ENTERTAINMENT right?
We want to sit at home and watch two people punch each other in the head. For our entertainment.
And the complaint people had against yesterday’s bout, was that they didn’t punch each other in the head hard enough!
Aliens must truly be laughing their heads off
When I read about all the hate and bile words out there, you just gotta shake your head.Why would one care if someone was black, white, brown or any other colour or whether it’s a man, woman or anything else. Why would one care?? I don’t! People can be whoever, whatever they want to be. We sit about in judgement while salivating over people beating each other up for our entertainment!
Knowledge can improve the world we live in
