Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson live On Netflix July 20

[LogitechMouse]

Tyson was once a boxer that every boxer is feared to fight with because of how dangerous he is. Well, that was the Mike Tyson in his prime, and the Mike Tyson that we are seeing currently.

Body? Yes, his body is still in shape. The problem with this one is the age gap. We know how age is a factor in sports right? That huge age gap has a lot of disadvantages for Tyson while it will be an advantage for Jake Paul. Stamina, Endurance, Footwork, etc. Let's also include the fact that Jake Paul, even though he's not a boxer has been into some fights for the past year I think (can't remember).

Tyson being an underdog is no surprise because like I said, the age gap is a big factor not only in boxing but in the the world of sports. I love the man even though he bit Holyfield's ears during their fight way back decades ago, but I will side with Jake Paul with this. Experience is a factor, but age is a bigger factor.

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.
Many people claimed Ngannou won last time when he was in ring against Tyson Fury.

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.

[Woodie]

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.

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. 

Jake is not just up for the numbers but making money, he is known as youtuber and will make more fights, he is good at making matches for himself and at the same time making himself more popular.  he isnt even interested to any boxing organization.

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.

Yes, this is true as this could be his biggest paycheck after the Roy Jones fight. So it's easy for Mike Tyson to sign up the contract as Neflix is the backer in this fight and if I'm not wrong, Netflix is trying to compete with Amazon as well streaming boxing/MMA events.

So it's good that they take Tyson to promote their company getting into this business as we all know that HBO and lately Showtime already disengage themselves from the boxing scene and no longer going to stream fights.

Good move by Tyson, it's a win win for him.

It is most definitely a fight for money, Tyson can earn $20million from the fight.

There are some special rules for the fight,
-16 oz gloves (Usually 10 oz)
-2 minutes per round (Usually 3 mins)
-No official judges to score the fight.
-No winner unless via KO
-Each fighter must pass an EEG & EKG

$20M is going to make Mike richer again. AFAIK he invest in BTC, can't remember when he said it in an interview. those rules doesn't matter anymore but if he is aiming to win, he gotta KO Jake with that foam gloves.

since he is almost 60, his cardio will be the worse. even when there's just 2 minutes per round, he will definitely need an oxygen tank in his corner every round break. but i'm also going to believe Jake and Mike will have a sort of an agreement to make this fight up to the last round. they got to satisfy the Netflix users.

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.

Not surprised. Don King was infamous for being an absolute scumbag. But boxers didn't tend to do well in terms of post-retirement money management. I believe now they have some solutions available like sports pensions etc, but back then, they were on their own surrounded by people who just wanted to exploit them as far as possible.
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.
But he was bankrupt in 2003 and before that he was in very serious situation with drug substance abuse and he hit rock bottom.
His growing up was hard as a child but I think he is different man now, he has his own business, his own podcast and he is managing his anger better with age.

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.

To earn $20 million from this fight will be a major financial push for him at this age and stage in his career.

Does anyone have an idea of how much Jake Paul may earn from the fight? I have searched through the internet and have found no exact figure.

[bitbit97]

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.

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.

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 win
