He embodies the society that props him up.

he was probably born rich and put a lot of money into advertising

Idiocracy.

For a good chunk of history, kings and lords and the other wealthy folk who could afford lavish luxuries such as entertainment would hire a "fool."

Now, every schlub and his granny has an always-on computer camera telephone TV in their pocket with access to all entertainment ever recorded anywhere. By and large, the fool is still a pretty popular choice.

Tools...so hot right now

I call it the "Dumbing Down of America"

If he fucks off from boxing he'll probably try to join his brother in WWE, where all the fights are fake.

That fight was embarrassing.

I was surprised that Baumgardner/Beaudoin was as competitive as it was. I expected Baumgardner to knock her out about halfway.

The whole card seemed lopsided. Well, except Silva's fight. That was pretty cool to see a 50yo man perform like that though.

He's already poisoned the sport.

All of this is true. The ring was 22ft instead of the normal 20 iirc (so in my sane measurements conversion about a 60cm difference per side) and Paul’s antics were annoying af, albeit fun to watch in a cringe kind of way.

You should add two to the list of his former opponents: Younger brother of a top tier boxer who never seems to want to be there (against whom he lost) and former top tier 30 years past his prime.

If it’s true that Netflix forced him into AJ it’s hilarious though, as I understand he’s their only boxer with any following and they just embarrassed him.

I wonder if that's true. I was confused about why Paul would've taken the fight. Joshua is a bit past his prime but he's not washed up. And has had a pretty good career. He's really a tremendously skilled fighter and I doubt Paul, as egotistical as he might be, thought he could win.

I did see another commenter speculating that Paul took the fight knowing he would lose, but thinking with a larger ring and his skills at running, he could survive until the end and that he would legitimize himself as a real professional boxer. Made sense to me. But interesting if Netflix forced him.

When this NPC blinks, throw a strong punch to get an instant knockdown.

( context )

That's Glass Joe. But his name is a reference to glass jaw, which refers to the jaw being a weakpoint that can knock out boxers fairly quickly

git: 'gud' is not a git command. See 'git --help' 

also, a lisp/speech impediment that will make him self conscious and never speak in public again

I mean, it's literally his job to get punched in the face. We're allowed to be happy when he does it.

Did he have a stroke typing that or am I out of the loop with wrestling lingo and it makes sense to people?

There are controversies about his previous matches potentially/ probably being rigged.

He assumed Baron Harkonnen was going to have this guy drugged also.

That was his brother https://en.wikipedia.org/...

Well, I dont see people paying attention to the clown, only a black guy being celebrated for punching racists :D

Btw. I never heard of the guy before and will not look him up, knowing that a racist was pinched is all the good news I need today :)

Racist people often support other racists.

Paul is a known scammer, so him being a racist is just more shit on top of the diarrhea that is his personality

It may shock you to learn it was completely intentional.

nah that is him sucking up to the group he thinks is winning in the US right now. If this was five years ago he probably would have gone with a rainbow or sth.
