In a viral sequence broadcast on BPM Sports, Gilbert Delorme triggered an explosion of laughter in the studio with a colorful statement about Jake Paul.
True to form, Delorme let his direct style speak for itself, stating:
“Seriously, I wouldn’t even pee on this character if he was on fire. Serious ? Serious ? It sickens me. This guy disgusts me. Guys. »
@bpmsportsradio Do you think Gilbert likes Jake Paul? ???????? #paul #tyson #boxe #fyp #foryou ♬ original sound – BPMSPORTSRADIO
This line, although exaggerated and deliberately provocative, sparked numerous comments on social networks.
While many praised the columnist’s scathing humor, others criticized the “inhumane” nature of his remarks.
However, Delorme’s fans insist on the importance of taking his comments at face value, pointing out that the man is known for his outspokenness, always full of sarcasm.
The moment took an even more hilarious turn when Delorme went on to describe how he would be “ecstatic on his couch” if boxing legend Mike Tyson were to literally “rip the head off” from Jake Paul during their next fight.
This exaggerated image provoked bursts of laughter around the table, while perfectly illustrating Delorme’s merciless style.
As a reminder, the controversial duel between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, scheduled for Dallas, itself raised a wave of accusations of fixed fights.
With his training gloves and his eight ounds shortened to two minutes, some denounce an orchestrated spectacle more than a real fight.
This did not prevent Delorme from positioning himself firmly against Paul, whom he considers to be a caricature of a sportsman.
If Delorme’s remarks made part of his audience laugh, they also reignited the debate on the limits of humor and criticism.
Is it acceptable to make such comments, even in an exaggerated and fictitious context?
Saying you wouldn’t piss on a burning man is harsh. Very hard.
Some Internet users judged that Delorme was going too far, while others applauded his ability to say out loud what many are thinking quietly.
Whatever the case, one thing is certain: Gilbert Delorme remains true to himself, a colorful character who leaves no one indifferent.
Whether you like his style or not, he continues to fuel discussions and continues to create memorable moments on the radio.
A real walking virality this Gilbert.
Meanwhile, the duel between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson raises questions far beyond the excitement it generates.
If the fight promises a large-scale spectacle, many voices are being raised to denounce its potentially “fake” and contrived nature.
Several clues suggest that this fight could be more like a theatrical show than a real sporting confrontation.
First of all, the very rules of the fight: 14 ounce gloves, intended to limit impacts, and two-minute rounds, well below the standards of professional boxing.
These adjustments are clearly aimed at minimizing the risks for both participants, but also demonstrate doubts about the authenticity of the sporting issue.
Some observers, including former champion Carl Froch, have expressed doubts about the competitive nature of the fight.
Froch says an agreement could exist preventing Mike Tyson from delivering real power blows to Jake Paul.
This hypothesis, although not confirmed, is echoed by other experts who speak of a “scripted fight” in the style of a professional wrestling show. Noted boxing analyst Teddy Atlas also said:
“The real question is: will this be an honest effort to inflict a knockout, or just a stage show? »
Jake Paul, despite his rise to power in the world of boxing, carries with him a reputation for controversial fights.
During his clash against Tyron Woodley, rumors circulated about a clause prohibiting Woodley from attempting a knockout.
Although these accusations were never proven, they reinforced the perception that Paul’s fights might be more promotional tools than genuine confrontations.
At 58, Mike Tyson remains a boxing icon, but his ability to compete in a real fight against a 27-year-old opponent is in doubt.
Tyson, who recently admitted to almost losing his life due to health problems, could hardly deliver a performance worthy of his great years.
However, his aura and his name are enough to attract attention and guarantee commercial success, even if the fight turns out to be a simple exhibition.
Jake Paul will pocket 40 million US dollars for this fight. Mike Tyson will pocket 20 million, he who was recently personally bankrupt.
The fight, broadcast live on Netflix, marks a turning point in the way the sport is presented. However, this transition towards more spectacular than competitive events could damage boxing’s credibility.
Renowned promoter Eddie Hearn called the fight a “disrespect to boxing” and refuses to even watch it.
“It’s irresponsible and dangerous, especially if something happens to Tyson,” he said.
Ultimately, this fight is designed to maximize profits and media buzz rather than deliver an authentic sporting clash.
Critics multiply, but tickets are sold and audiences are promised massive success. Whether the confrontation is real or orchestrated, it raises a central question: is boxing transforming into simple entertainment?
In any case, for us, the best entertainment in the world…it’s Gilbert Delorme.
For better and for worse. Because we could ask the same question?
Has Delorme also become a caricature to attract television ratings?
2 weights…2 measures…
