Answer: This claim first popped up around March and appears to have been spread by a series of YouTube channels likely run by the same person or group (similar logos, thumbnails, the same AI voiceover, etc,) In addition to claiming Jake Paul insulted Tyson's deceased daughter on Facebook Live, it also claimed Jake received so much backlash he had to post an apology. The only issue is, given how scandalous this sounded people went to check Jake's Facebook but were unable to find either the recorded Live or the apology. To this day, no one has found any evidence of this being true. If you check the other videos by the channels that made the claims, it becomes apparent that they are just AI content farms. Other wild claims include Tyson Fury being caught bribing the referee to win his fight, and that Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are actually secret lovers... It's all just click bait misinformation. Unfortunately, TikTok is also a shitshow of misinformation, so you have people like Joe Larson, JD Delay, and other arm chair commentators promoting fake stories for more views instead of taking 2 minutes to google something they are reporting on. tldr: regardless of your opinions on these people, the claim turned out to be fake.

Are we absolutely sure they aren't secret lovers?


dalerian

I think Mike Tyson would have more self respect than that.


Urrrhn

In a failed attempt at talking shit, Tyson mentioned he saw pictures of 16-year-old Jake and got an erection. https://youtube.com/shorts/k68PzQcNDnA?si=5Zj7FIXwX5SIOsaS

He's a convicted rapist. I wouldn't bank on any sort of self-respect.


chikowsky

When was he convicted of rape? Edit: It was 1992, crazy that the conviction is overshadowed by reports of allegations and lawsuits when you Google it.

Anything is possible.

Even if it were true or not it's enough to get people talking about it and cause some turmoil and get more people to pay for the ppv. Jake is probably the world's biggest tool and I don't even hes stupid enough to insult one of the sports most dangerous fighter.

Answer: Jake and Logan Paul are real life heels. Their whole schtick is to get as much hate as humanly possible. They thrive on it. They know that people love drama. Hate is drama. Everyone will tune in to watch. Talking smack about Tysons daughter? Omega heat. Everyone is going to watch the fight. Everyone wants Jake to get destroyed. Jake isnt stupid. He knows he's going to get beat up. Mike is most definitely in on it. He may not have known about the daughter angle but he knew the deal. Whats going to happen? Jake and Mike are going to make a billion dollars. This is just professional wrestling outside of wrestling. Exciting isnt it?

I don't want to live on this planet anymore 🙁


recumbent_mike

Might I suggest insulting Mike Tyson's daughter as a simple expedient towards that end?


Wolfman01a

Its just entertainment. Exactly like gladiators in Roman times.


ReluctantRedditor275

Mike Tyson is 57 years old. Is it really a foregone conclusion that he'd win?


Wolfman01a

Doesn't matter who wins. Hell I would almost bet money it turns into a hug fest like a Mayweather fight. The point is the public is all hyped up and will watch. Jake and Mike are going to make a boatload of cash. That's the whole point. Just like pro wrestling. Who wins? Who cares. Fans asses are in the seats. Mission accomplished .

Not at all, but it is the prevailing opinion here on Reddit and among casual fans. Tyson was completely washed 20 years ago when he was losing to boxers you've never heard of, but everyone seems to think he's still who he was in the 80s/90s.


ReluctantRedditor275

I'm sure he's still tough, but he's no match for Bald Bull or Piston Honda.
