The bout is scheduled to take place on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Texas and will be available to all Netflix subscribers. Additional information, including the co-main event and undercards, will be announced at a later date. It is being produced in a partnership between Netflix and Paul’s and Nakisa Bidarian’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP).
If Mike Tyson will go in 100% in this fight? I will put my money on him. The thing is that this is exhibitions and maybe they are going to orchestrate how the ending will be, maybe a draw. But this totally unexpected though, but who can blame Tyson, it's million in the table for this fight and so he will have to bag it in as Jake Paul is one of the hottest commodity in exhibition fight.
Mike even at almost 60 is still very dangerous. He once the most feared boxer, as anyone he touches will simply go down even if Tyson is just about 5'8 and fighting bigger guys in the HW division.

I don't know much about Tyson's condition if he can still go the full fight, his last match was over three years ago, I'm sure there are a lot of changes in the body as we age its different when you're in training and you're in an actual fight, and Jake Paul is young and hungry since this is co-produced by Netflix I'm sure the subscription base will increase before the fight.
I'm waiting for the undercard so I can add it to my post, and I'm going to make sure that my subscription is good so we can watch this fight.
"If Mike Tyson will go in 100% in this fight? I will put my money on him.Even when Mike Tyson go full at 100%, I will not bet my money for him why, because Mike Tyson is a retired boxer, why Jake Paul the YouTuber is still active boxing.
Who do you think will win in this match?I think Mike Tyson will have a Knockout win against Jake Paul but that if Mike is still in a good condition in boxing just like Pacman. If he is still in that sports even on his retirements there is a higher chance that what I said above is gonna happen. Jake Paul surely prepared this fight long before it was being matched so this is really a good fight and he also has a higher chance of winning here because he is younger and I think the tale of the tape is in favor of this guy as well but not sure about a knockout against Tyson.
I'm not a big fan of such fights, and would never bought a ticket or pay-per-view for it, but at the same time, I'm not going to lie - I am curious how will that unfold.Lets wait to see exact rules they are going to have for this fight, but I know I wont bet against Tyson.
Mike might be old, but he still has a lot of power and explosiveness and surely won't be stepping into a ring to get a beating from some showbiz kid.
Paul's weight in recent fights was only around ~84 kg, while Tyson was at 100kg during the fight against Roy Jones Jr. in Nov 2020. I'd imagine Paul will probably want to bulk up a bit.
The current odds on Mike are x3.2, which I think could be a good bet to take.

I dont like Jake Paul and anything his is doing but I am sure he is going to make a big show from this event.
Draw is rear in boxing but not so unusual in fights like this ;)
If I'm not mistaken, Tyson is the underdog in this fight. So I do agree, odd makers knows that he is old already and maybe can't pull that trigger against a young Jake Paul.
That is the thing we appreciate with Jake Paul though, he make this whole exhibition matches his own, like Floyd and now was able to get one of the legends in boxing in Mike Tyson to box again.

Main reason for fights like this is quick collection of money, they are not going to allow Tyson to fight with normal boxing rules.
I remember his Tyson fight with Roy Jones Jr in 2020 and that was a split draw decision.
That exhibition fight with Roy Jones was rigged, every one from the referee to the judges colluded to make the fight a draw.Many fights in boxing are rigged, not just that one.
Seen and heard some former boxer, and they say that this might hurt Tyson's legacy. And what will add this to Jake Paul? I mean if he wanted to be a pro then fight a pro boxer simple as that, not ex-basketball player or ex-MMA. And now a old former boxer? What will he get?Jake Paul is just a social media guy and a youtuber, but he is not doing bad in boxing and he already have pro boxing fights.

He has nine wins and only one defeat from Tommy Fury, younger brother of Tyson Fury.
I don't understand why these organizers keep bringing such boxing matches...first off is Tyson and Jake Paul in the same weight category, I don't it and secondly why try box Tyson when his past his prime and gotten slower..plus would you even celebrate if you beat an Old Tyson...
(...)
All I see are opportunists orself individuals trying to feed off his popularity , otherwise it would be bad to have his legendary status being tarnished by these small matches against the likes of Jake doing it for the numbers.... otherwise this will easily be a draw to keep both men's reputation intact.

That's the thing, we like tag people with permanent labels such as "you tuber" or "influencer" for convenience but the reality is, after long years of training boxing and having multiple boxing fights - maybe it's time to start viewing Paul as a boxer and demand from him to fight actual, active boxers.I don't understand why these organizers keep bringing such boxing matches...first off is Tyson and Jake Paul in the same weight category, I don't it and secondly why try box Tyson when his past his prime and gotten slower..plus would you even celebrate if you beat an Old Tyson...
Such fights will keep happening as long as there's demand for them.
That's Jake Paul's shtick - if he loses, he'll justify it by saying he lost to the legendary fighter from a higher weight class. If he wins, he'll declare himself the best in the world for beating legendary Iron Mike, disregarding 30 years gap and the fact he's long retired.(...)

I think Mike couldn't say no to the money he was offered and probably genuinely believes he could beat Paul.
and mike also missed the fight. his last fight was also an exhibition with Jones. i'm not sure how much he earn from that fight but this fight with Jake is probably bigger since its for all Netflix users.

Oh for sure it's going to be waaay bigger than fight with Jones Jr.
The Jones Jr. fight was not even properly hyped up, and was primarily aimed to the audience of boxing fans, many of whom disapprove of that kind of exhibition fights between long-retired boxers.
Say what you want about Jake Paul, but he can bring in a lot of views and can create proper hype, even if he does that in the wrong way. I have no doubt the money was a huge incentive for Tyson.

I have no doubt the money was a huge incentive for Tyson.Sure he needs to earn money somehow but I think he loves the sport of boxing and his fights are always interesting to watch, even excibitions.

I watched a movie about him and he said he lost most of his money earned in his younger days, because of his manager Don King.
I don't think Tyson is doing that bad, but is probably not as rich as many would expect, so potential $20 mills is not something he could ignore.Not anymore.
I don't think Tyson is doing that bad, but is probably not as rich as many would expect, so potential $20 mills is not something he could ignore.Tyson earned a lot during his prime days in boxing, he had a net worth of over $200 million, but now his net worth has dropped considerable to just around $10 million.
Had it been Micheal Tyson was that young, not old(58 years old) I would have believed that we might been seeing Tyson knocking out Jake Paul, but here we are seeing Tyson at his old age to fight a young fella at his prime that wants to make history for himself. Anyway, the fight is for the money because in the real sense, I wouldn't advise an old man(Micheal Tyson) to fight a young vibrant guy like Jake Paul to expect a winWho do you think will win in this match?I think Mike Tyson will have a Knockout win against Jake Paul but that if Mike is still in a good condition in boxing just like Pacman. If he is still in that sports even on his retirements there is a higher chance that what I said above is gonna happen.

Is it confirmed already that Mike Tyson is getting 20 millions for that fight? That is really a lot. I saw that there will be no PPV sales for this event. So the promotion isnt earning a lot. For some reason it can be considered as a free to watch fight, as it will be available for all those who have Netflix active subscription. I doubt that Jake Paul or Mike Tyson will get a % from subscription sales, because there are active and those who would buy subscription, and there is no specific promocode. Hard to tell who would buy subscription only to watch, or who will be buy it to watch movies or tv-series.
I have searched in google for Jake Paul previous fight rewards, and they were 1-5 millions for each fight. I believe there would be also fight bonuses later. But not 20 millions for a fight. For the previous exhibition fight, Mike Tyson earned 10 million for a fight against Roy Jones Jr. Jake Paul is a «smaller boxing start», so there is no way Mike would get 20 million this time.

Not sure about the $20 million, can you share the link please? I think there will still be PPV here. If you are a Netflix subscribers then you don't have to pay. But if you are not then you have to purchase it one time. I think that's from what I understand.I have searched in google for Jake Paul previous fight rewards, and they were 1-5 millions for each fight. I believe there would be also fight bonuses later.

It's because Jake has a promotional company name MVP and most of his fights are being produce under his own money. So he might have to get some as well, but it's not as big as what we have thought. But still, from a obscure Youtuber to now making millions easy in just one fight is already a big accomplishment for him.
Fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is now officially going to be sanctioned as professional fight and it will count on both fighter records!
Most people expected this to be exhibition fight without judges and with draw possibility because only knockout would count as a win, but Tyson must be prepared very well for this fight.
We are going to have fight with 8 rounds that are two-minute long, so someone could win the fight on points.
Jake Paul is heavy favorite, but odds on Tyson are looking so good:
