Tyson should take whatever performance enhancing drugs that are necessary so that he can knock out that dip sh*t.

Jake Paul thinks a fight involving a 58 year old Mike Tyson is the biggest fight in history?

I'm sure it has your curiosity.

No way it's bigger than Mayweather/McGregor

Still be a fun spectacle. Jake Paul is an entertaining character, seems to be a pretty legitimate boxer at this point too. Not best in the world, but knows what he's doing

Hmm…well I would be surprised if Jake makes it thru the 1st round. I saw Tyson walking thru McCarron airport in Vegas and he looked like a flippin’ pit bull.

Question for those in the know. So I have heard of Jake Paul because of these exhibition fights, but I really don't know who he is. Was he "famous" before for something? I guess I am asking what is his story?

I watched a documentary on him, I believe on Netflix. YouTuber who started boxing from I believe a challenge from another YouTuber. Then kept doing it. Could be wrong on that.

he first became famous on Vine, social media app that was essentially the precursor to TikTok.

Twitter bought Vine and deleted it, after which Jake Paul became YouTube famous. he mostly did odd pranks and a few pretty bad rap songs.

got into boxing by beating up on other YouTubers. Then he followed by beating up on a tiny NBA guy. Then he beat up a few washed UFC fighters. then he lost to his first legit boxing opponent, Tommy Fury (brother of Tyson Fury).

since then, he has beaten Nate Diaz and a couple legitimate boxers.

he's a polarizing figure, but he's definitely entertaining and has clearly worked hard to hone his skills as a fighter.

I honestly have a hard time seeing Tyson winning this.

They guy got dusted by Kevin McBride…like 15 YEARS AGO.

19 years ago.

Exhibition bout with Roy Jones JR his only other action of two seriously washed up actors since then.

Anybody buying this PPV event needs to be checked into a local mental hospital.

1000%. I have an irrational hate for those obnoxious *****.
Wait, you want the black guy to beat the white guy? Whatever can RedMichelle come in here and lecture us for, if you do that?

Don't care
I'm sure you don't, just letting you know it's an exhibition where neither is looking to get hurt. I'll watch it cause I get it for free, wouldn't pay a nickel otherwise. LOL

Even at 57 or 58, Tyson, for 2-3 rounds is gonna be so much faster and skillful than Paul has ever fought. I hope Mike bounces his ***. If Tyson would revert back to his younger self with all the head movement, Paul would never lay a glove on him.

A 19-year Mike Tyson was a straight up killer. Knocking out grown men.

Uh oh...health issues (cough cough) have popped up for Tyson. Should have known. I was hoping this was a legit fight, but its hard for me to take this thing serious now.
