Don’t. He’s going to get a 50 mil payday.

And hopefully he puts an end to this Jake Paul character.
I think the 50 mil is just a rumor started by Paul.
I looked for a site that had what Tyson was making and only found
where Paul claimed Tyson would fight him for 50 mil, but didn't say that was the price

I know. Hard to tell with the PPV cut. Could be huge. I’m tuning in hoping to see Iron Mike destroy him.

Once Don King latched on to Tyson Rooney was out because Kevin was Tyson's stabilizing force and tried to keep King from ruining Mike
Tyson dumped Kevin because of Rooney and King not getting along.

Under King's guidance Mike Tyson didn't have the type of life coaching that "Cus" D'Amato gave him starting out and Rooney continued until Don King entered the picture and took over Tyson's career
Like most things Don King was involved in he ruined Tyson and used him for his own personal gain

Jake Paul will not allow anyone to hurt him. There’s no way in hell ALL 9 of his wins were legit vs some of those fighters, who were the best at their time. Unfortunately that YouTube money and the money saved from not having to pay their taxes will make sure that Tyson will make Paul look good.

Nearly everyone looks good in training videos, but damn, does Iron Mike look fierce in those videos and moving and punching like a guy 30 years younger. Jake Paul looks like a poseur.

I believe Cus D’Amato’s passing hurt Tyson a lot.
Kevin Rooney took over and was doing a good job controlling Tyson out of the ring as well as inside.
But didn't command the type of respect and thought of a father figure like Cus had with Tyson.
So King was able to turn Mike against Kevin and take the type of control D’Amato’s presence wouldn't allow King to have.

Funny how I’ve been called names for simply pointing out the hypocrisy that NO ONE in history of NJ HS Sports, or damm near ANYWHERE had to GIVE THE GAME BACK, FORFEIT THE NEXT GAME, DO THE RIGHT THING, BLAH BLAH BLAH for something no fault of their own until this week and most here agreed with that.

But I’m unclassy for calling two scumbags who is not associated with Rutgers, Logan and Jake Paul, SCUMBAGS and hoping Tyson puts Jake in a coma for reasons that most here won’t give a rats arse about, among the other bull 💩 shenanigans they have done in their past for clout and millions of likes/ 💰💰💰.

Don’t worry, Jake’s money that will go into Tyson’s account will make sure Jake won’t be harmed in this Paul Brothers Exhibition.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I just hope Mike doesn’t get injured… what would the excuses be like🙏

Those videos shows Tyson’s skills are still insane at his age.

If this fight was legit: won’t last past Round 2. But it won’t be so…
A training camp video ( of less than a minute ) is nothing of proof that Iron Mike Tyson is going to be able to beat even a guy like Paul. Tyson is now an actor( ha ha) but still a danger because it only takes one punch. This kid is either going to be moving , bobbing , weaving or he’ll get in trouble. I believe Mike needs a payday for those psychological visits which cost big $$$$.Who actually cares about this anyway. The guy was a great boxer/ puncher , a tad nutty always and should just continue with staying on his meds.

The thing is, Tyson still has a lot of power but he has to get pretty close to land them. Paul has a long reach. I think Paul will be jabbing, clenching if Tyson moves in, and Paul trying to land a big punch after clinching. I hope Mike Tyson wins but it will be tough especially if it goes over two or three rounds.

Don't know what will happen but forget about his prime. If this was 10 years ago Mike floors him in one.
However, since this is the digital age Paul is the young moneymaker who can't lose so he won't.

The fight isn't until July, so there is plenty of time to finalize the script and fleece the suckers who will get Netflix just to see this farce. Calling this a sporting event is like calling a hot dog a tube steak.

Why bother watching this when everyone knows this “fight” will go the distance and Paul somehow “wins” a fight vs a fighter who is considered one of the best of all time.

All of SD Jones' matches were the same. 6 consecutive head butts, the 7th one gets blocked, then he gets pinned.
But there was always hope and entertainment. Maybe, just maybe that 6th head butt would bring us an upset one day.

Tyson will try to impose his will inside on Paul … Paul will attempt to stick n move… if he can avoid the pressure( tough job) Mike will be hard pressed . If the fight goes past 4- 5 rounds then Mike will lose.He will need to knock him out early.

If this was real life, Tyson would destroy this goof in two minutes. But we all know how fake these Paul fights are. If this is legit, I hope Tyson puts that scumbag in a coma.
Wow - sounds like you are an angry elf.

I don't know who this challenger is, but I'll be pulling for Iron Mike. I've always thought he was one of the most interesting sports figures in my lifetime. I love hearing interviews with him...

Iron Mike Sharp! Ha! Would Leapin’ Lanny Poffo be on that list or did he win on occasion? Can’t remember…

It's rare that someone that was so out of control and such an *** mellows and gets a little wisdom with age. Full respect to Mike.

Leaping Lanny Poffo???

If you ever listen to the Jim Cornette Podcasts, some of the Lanny Poffo story that they talk about are bat 💩 crazy!!!

Add Jose Luis Rivera to that list.
Other stepping stones who would on occasion win a match.

Steve Lombardi - The Brooklyn Brawler
The Unpredictable Johnny Rodz - had the best face plant in all of WWF history.

There was also Frank Williams. This guy looked like they pulled him off a barstool to wrestle.

I got a more recent Jobber for you (2000 is not recent but…)

Mike Bell. I still don’t know if it was his fault or Perry Saturn’s but he almost died from a legit Perry Saturn butt kicking after a botch. Terry Runnels saved him by calming Saturn down at ringside.

Perry Saturn, who was definitely at the Eddie Guerrero/ Chris Benoit level at the time was never to be taken seriously again.
