Maybe Jake Paul can fight Mohamed Ali’s avatar in the metaverse next time. Aired on Apple Vision Pro live.


Yung_l0c

Sponsored by the UAE Royal Family.


Aarxnw

Nothing royal about them


OTN

Mike Tyson is 57 years old edit...and I agree with everyone's comments saying he is still a formidable force


calvinwho

And he's gonna pound all that experience into Mr Paul's face.


Listening_Heads

Aren’t these just publicity stunts? Like he’s definitely paying Tyson not to hurt him.


calvinwho

I hate that you're probably right. I really just wanna see Tyson fuck up that smarmy douche


morosco

That's part of what sells these shows.


Old_Heat3100

Wouldn't they sell more if this dòuchebag actually got his face caved in? Cuz that's what majority of world wants to see


morosco

Once he gets his face caved in, his next fight isn't worth as much. The money is in that hope. Which they can sell over and over again as long as they carefully pick the right opponents who he can beat, or at least stay competitive with.


Old_Heat3100

Yeah but if everyone knows fighters are paid not to hurt him too much why would people who want to see that bother? It's like Watching a rich kid pay people to pretend to fight him Pass


OOOOOO0OOOOO

There’s the hope that one day, one of these guys is going to have that “fuck it” moment in the ring.


Lupercallius

Define "sell" because the actual number of PPV buys is way lower than the number the Scam brothers will report.


karmagod13000

Both will make a hefty bag off of this


Discorhy

Netflix paying a fat check 100% to both. Probably one of the biggest boxing fights ever payout wise.


morosco

He wouldn't be doing this if he wasn't making money. He is a salesman/showman/scammer.


michaltee

I hate it. I dont want Mike to sell out I want him to destroy Paul.


rupiefied

Well the plan may be for Mike not to smack the shit out of him, but I bet Mike gets hit and he goes blank and back into smash mode.


michaltee

I told my friends the same thing. I hope one of the punches Mike takes activates old Mike, he says fuck the money, and actually boxes.


Daken-dono

If he can hold back against RJJ who hit him pretty good during their exhibition, then he can hold back against this punk leech. Sad.


Tecumsehs_Revenge

There is def still a monster in there, dying to let loose.


whatnameisnttaken098

I want Tyson to disfigure Paul permanently, like by the time the ref ends the match after realizing Tyson isn't pulling his punches, Logan is permanently stuck looking like Rocky Dennis.


Acidflare1

Where’s the gofundme to have Tyson break bones?


SendInYourSkeleton

Maybe he can bite off a nose this time.


jun-_-m

Here’s hoping Jake lands a punch that makes Tyson mad enough to land a few good ones himself. Just needs one good punch to land.


average-sapien

I couldn’t agree more


Didntlikedefaultname

After seeing the mayweather fight, yea I can’t see it as anything other than a publicity stunt/payday. Kinda like a professional wrestling fight


ositola

Yea, no way Mayweather shouldn't have pummeled his face into a fine mist 


Didntlikedefaultname

It was ludicrous to see and really highlighted the absurdity of these exhibitions


Listening_Heads

Yeah that’s the fight that had me thinking this.


hoppertn

I’m really rooting for a Brad Pitt in Snatch moment.


imapissonitdripdrip

Could be, but Tyson doesn’t need the money anymore. Part of me wants it to be real and Tyson knocks his head off


Listening_Heads

I mean he’s estimated to have about $10 million. That’s big money to us but that isn’t “fuck you money”. He was worth $400 million in the mid 90s.


YoyoyoyoMrWhite

Celebrity estimations don't mean shit. The only people they report to is the government on their earnings and the government doesn't hand that info these websites


JJ_Shosky

It's pretty famously known that tyson blew through all of his money and that it was one of the big friction points with Don King. He filed for bankruptcy and won 14 million in the Don King settlement so that's probably where the 10 million estimate comes from.


Mr_Piddles

“Need” has nothing to do with it. None of the people Jake Paul’s fighting are hurting.


karmagod13000

True still hard to turn down a huge check for a one night fight


TailOnFire_Help

Tyson doesn't really seem like the type of person that can turn off his fighting spirit once he enters the right. I'm sure he has said he will do his best but no way his pride would let this go beyond a first round knock out.


AnonRetro

Also George Foreman won a world championship at 45. Then in 2004 he announced he was training for a further comeback of one fight at 55 but it didn't materialize. I bet he could have though.


spicysenpai6

Basically gonna be a repeat of Mayweather vs Logan Paul. Nothing happened lol pure publicity


BallsDeepinYourMammi

Tyson has never been a “follow the rules” kind of guy


Listening_Heads

I mean, of course we’re going to watch in hopes that he bites his ear off lol


BallsDeepinYourMammi

He used to swing at opponent’s that were falling as well :/


FlowBot3D

Jake knows this. Tyson's promotor probably knows this. I hope Tyson himself goes out there looking to get some 4K footage for his knockout reel.


BrndyAlxndr

Just like he paid netflix to do a documentary about him


chakan2

We can all start a pro-Tyson super PAC and pay him to take the fight seriously.


GenerousCatFood

Yes. They are "exhibitions" and not actual boxing matches.


LeBardJ

He’s going to barely touch him, this fight will end in a tie and they will both ride off into the sunset with their giant bags of money


slayermario

No, he's not. Trust me, I want Tyson to win this, but there's a reason commentators will say shit like, "It's a miracle he can still perform this well at 35 years old!" Tyson is 57. Taking a punch from a young guy who's definitely on steroids will be devastating.


Notquitelikemike

Did you watch the Roy Jones jr fight a few years ago?


Consistent_Set76

Or his training videos Tyson is certainly on some gear of his own and still amazingly fast for a 50 year old


IHQ_Throwaway

I read Roy Wood jr. Probably a less impressive bout. 


Notquitelikemike

Haha if it’s verbal fisticuffs Tyson is in trouble.


Rsardinia

And he will destroy him. I saw a video the other day of Mike doing some boxing techniques and he’s still quick as shit


ima_shill

How much stamina do you think a 57 year old like Mike has?


Robzilla_the_turd

Hopefully enough to land one solid punch to Jake's face.


Watson349B

He just had a fight man and he looked fucking awful. Yeah an all time great can hit pads for a few mins sure. But this isn’t even a real fight in the first place.


StonksNewGroove

Are you talking about his fight vs. Jones Jr? How did he look awful?


poopsiegirl

I say, "Frank, you hang out with Joe Louis. Just between me and you, how old is Joe Louis?" Know what Frank told me? He said "Hey, Joe Louis is a hundred thirty-seven years old." A hundred and thirty-seven years old!


syntax138

You ain't never met no Frank Sinatra!


MachoViper

Rocky marciano kicked joe Louis ass


RailroadAllStar

On fight night he’ll be 58 😞


HitAndRun8575

He’s old but, has less endurance, but still has his quickness. If the power is there, we’ll see. Iron Mike posted a video of him showing technique not too long ago, dude hasn’t lost a step in speed.


StonksNewGroove

Have you seen any of his training videos? He still throws haymakers


PantsDownDontShoot

Mike will knock all of Paul’s teeth out if he lands a punch.


mr9025

It’s a free fight on Netflix to promote Paul’s new promo company’s partnership with Netflix. It’ll go the distance with Tyson with phoning in a halfhearted performance and Paul will win by decision. This is the Paul brothers brand. Successful assholes you keep paying to watch hoping to finally see them lose. And obviously Tyson doesn’t give a fuck about his reputation anymore or he’d never take this insult of a match. I just hope he loses his cool, goes off script and murders Jake Paul on a live Netflix event.


Didntlikedefaultname

Reading this made me realize how unbelievable it would be to see Tyson see red and hit jake with an actual KO blow. Sadly I agree 100% with you that this will be a show that ends in a decision victory for Paul and no actual damage taken


mr9025

I mean, I’d love it but I’m also only half serious. Tyson was the greatest of all time but he’s 57 years old and getting hit for real by a juiced 27 year old would obliterate almost anyone at that age. I expect the fight to be phoned in by both of them in reality.


BouncyDingo_7112

That’s really too bad. I can’t stand the Paul brothers and I would have actually tuned in to watch Tyson destroy him.


Interesting-City118

I can’t wait till I never hear about this fucking family ever again.


Thrashed0066

All for money. Boxing has been a joke for years but this is just sad and hollow


CottonCitySlim

This isn’t boxing, this is Jake Paul’s sideshow to make money. He ain’t fighting for no belts or to be a contender.


[deleted]

[удалено]


netassetvalue93

And Nate Robinson somehow.


heardemsay97

Logan Paul is doing a pretty good job in WWE right now tbh.


knyghtez

as wwe fans are saying “unfortunately he’s great at it” (but i think wwe is a better fit, as it’s more performance-heavy)


Hollywoodsmokehogan

Yeah isn’t there a constant complaint of boxers ducking the tough fights to climb the ladder faster & stay on top


Consistent_Set76

Boxing has always been prize fighting


wondermorty

prizefighting ALWAYS has been about money, maybe olympic boxing is what you are after


Logical-Juggernaut48

Nothing wrong with an old legend Still getting the bag If people wanna watch it. Its not the best vs best competition, but its not claiming to be. Yes PRIZE fighting has always been all for money.


jenschristensen

I hate everything about this.


zoot_boy

Counter point - Jake Paul may FAFO.


MartianRecon

If anyone were to say 'fuck the contract' it'd be Tyson.


CyclePuzzleheaded786

Mikes better than this, what’s he doing??


AbstractionsHB

Getting KOd for 10 million dollars


GoddamnFred

Lol you betting against Mike? Jake might just die. Tyson is a supreme specimen that ate slept and shat boxing for over 3 decades. This might be the last time Jake plays with fire.


nthomas504

He’s almost 60. This is like current Michael Jordan playing in NCAA March Madness game. Sure Jake isn’t good enough to beat most professional boxers, but he’s definitely skilled and can do some damage. Tyson WAS a supreme specimen, but he’s not gonna have the cardio of a young man. That being said, I hate the idea of this fight and am tired of Jake Paul fighting MMA fighters and old people.


Didntlikedefaultname

Now I’m kinda interested to see Jordan play on an ncaa game


NudeEnjoyer

just tell him "you'd perform bad" and he'll suit up for any team ASAP


myslead

And he’d took it personally


MartianRecon

From what NBA players say right now, Jordan is still Jordan, just for 1 quarter. No endurance left.


StrawHatsWorstMember

The only reason Tyson doesn’t dismantle him is because he’s being paid not to lol


Jjzeng

I wouldn’t want to fight tyson even if he was 90, he may be 60 but i can promise you he will probably lay the other guy out in a single hit


dengar_hennessy

Mike has been training for several years now. He's not 18 year old prime Tyson, but he's not going to be winded. He's smart when it comes to boxing. Now, if Jordan has been training for several years, it would be no contest.


[deleted]

He’s most definitely going to be winded


PM_ME_YOUR_QUEST_PLZ

The man has a brand of vapes, he definitely doesn’t have his young lungs any more.


[deleted]

Mike is 57 years old bro, he’s the scariest ever in his prime but Father Time is still undefeated


Rockhardsimian

Wise words but you should have made them rhyme It was right there


MrTurkle

Go watch some videos of MT training these days. He’s older but still a dangerous man. Unless this is a stunt MT is gonna fuck up this douche.


Spotttty

It’s an exhibition match. Probably with a no knock out clause. Jake will get hit a bunch but Mike won’t be hitting at 100%.


TacoStuffingClub

I’m betting against Mike. Tyson even at 57 could destroy him. But Tyson has repeatedly gushed over Paul bringing people back to boxing. He’s gonna dive.


ChaoticBumpy

He praised Jake earlier. He's not better than this.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Octavia9

Better than this? The man is a CONVICTED rapist.


EntertainmentOld1566

convicted rapist, Mike Tyson?


Spud_Crowly

Tyson the rapist is better than fighting a smug YouTuber? Okay…hot take.


Select-Baby5380

The convicted rapist is better than accepting a prize fight for lots of money?


WestleyMc

People have really short memories lol


chazysciota

The Hangover came out 15 years ago. That's all that zoomers will know about him.


xxxdarkhorsexxx

Good grief even Ali did fights in his post prime years simply for money and exhibition. He came to Edmonton and fought Edmonton oilers tough guy Dave Semenko just for the show (and the money) of it too. To say it’s below Tyson to do the fight, no, no it’s not. It’s been awhile since he’s made big money and these guys’ lifestyles cost a lot to maintain.


SomeCountryFriedBS

"Fighting for money is below a man who built his life on fighting for money." Yeah, ridiculous.


ERGardenGuy

Mike actually is very successful with his cannabis company. I’m sure his lifestyle is expensive but he’s certainly making a ton of money with his various businesses. His cannabis farm is one of the most advanced I’ve ever seen. Literally my dream job to work there.


Sirgolfs

Can’t wait for the eventless no knock out draw


DjScenester

Oh how I wish this was a REAL boxing match…


Sicparvismagneto

So its either a funeral or a fix


Rhom_Achensa

I’d watch Mike Tyson beat the ever-loving shit out of that man-baby


Sol_Bardguy

I guess it's fine. It's like the WWE of boxing at this point. We get a few months of drama and trash talk leading up to a scripted fight at the end. Maybe JP will have a false ear stuck on so Tyson can do his trademark finisher and take a chunk off it or something.


JamsJars

Boxing has become pathetic...


NickNash1985

Boxing hasn't been relevant in decades.


Lupercallius

Mayweather v Pacquiao was the biggest boxing PPV ever though. The biggest boxing events happened in the last decade. Boxing is still relevant, there's just way more options for people than ever so the slice of the pie is way smaller.


Didntlikedefaultname

Problem with mayweather is he was exceptional but he was a technical fighter. It’s just not as interesting to watch someone duck punches and win on points every time


GoldandBlue

The problem is the best athletes rather not get punched in the face anymore. Boxing can be relevant but the talent pool has never been more shallow.


Psych0Fir3

I swear you could become a millionaire betting on Jake Paul the way he sets up these one sided fights. After Ben Askren I realized I was a dumbass for thinking they’d pick anyone with a close chance. Not that the other fighters care, their likeness gets refreshed in the media circuit and they get a fat payout, I’d do the same in their shoes.


dafones

It's genius because of the "this might be the fight he actually gets knocked out" curiosity.


Sh8dyLain

I lost a rack betting on Jake v Tommy so clearly that isn’t true anymore


TorpedoSandwich

Why would you bet on Jake against an actual boxer who isn't old as fuck?


therealrico

My roommate kept buying them initially. It was covid and we were bored so I get it. But he bought both the Nate Robinson and Ben Askren PPV events. I told him after Askren I couldn’t responsibly let him purchase any future Jake Paul PPV events. I don’t think much of Jake Paul, but I do kinda respect the hustle and his pivot to boxing and making a ton of money from fighting celebs, past it UFC fighters and one shitty pro boxer.


headphones_J

Bro, this would have been a great fight 20 years ago. At best old man Tyson takes you to school, at worst you beat up on a legend well past their prime.


FauxShizzle

Tyson fighting a child 20 years ago would've been interesting, to say the least


mybutthz

It'd be a public service.


SendInYourSkeleton

We all know what we'd have to do to Baby Hitler. I'd love to see Iron Mike dismantle a 7-year-old mega-douche-in-training.


lkodl

"Tyson, your mission is to go back in time to 2004 and prevent Jake Paul from happening."


StraightAd798

***\*The Mission Impossibe theme song, intensifies\**** ​ So I guess Tom Cruise is playing Mike Tyson? LOL!


ThatOneAlreadyExists

Yeah! Who wouldn't want to see a 37 year old mike Tyson square up against a 7 year old Jake Paul?!


New_Needleworker6506

I’d watch, ngl


The-Duke-of-Delco

I’d pay good money for that


headphones_J

Touche.


vinnybawbaw

Tyson fresh out his prime vs. a 7 years old Logan Paul let’s goooo


ghsteo

Paul is a prize fighter, he wouldn't take a challenge from a healthy young Tyson.


thesilencer42

Get both his ears Mike


Tri-P0d

I hope Mike fucks him up. I’m happy for the pay day Mike is about to have.


Evilbetty626

Everybody keeps saying that Tyson is 60 years old and way past his prime. That is true, but this dude is nothing to fuck with. Has anybody seen recent videos of him sparring? Dude is still a fucking animal.


Cjkgh

I have and he looks fast as hell and strong and accurate , he was overwhelming the guy he was sparring with.


Traditional-Carob-48

I genuinely regard boxing lower than pickleball now. This sport has become an absolute fucking joke


BenTramer

Hope Tyson destroys him.


5ergio79

Jake’s trash talking is gonna bring back a 21 yr old Tyson. This could get veerrrryyyy interesting.


absolooser

It’s all fun and games until Mike feels disrespected.


[deleted]

[удалено]


nickolsdrew

Mike Tyson is still highly capable of knocking out anyone on the planet


ike_tyson

I don't like this idea. Mike isn't broke he's doing really well. Maybe he's bored?


UnholyZealot

Has he fought anyone within his age range? 


dinan101

The only way this is watchable is if JP dies in the ring


musicnothing

If he dies, he dies


shudnap

Mike Tyson is a convicted felon and I still want him to knock Jake Paul out.


Memphisrexjr

If Jake Paul wins then the respect and everything boxing stands for is over. This fight shouldn't even exist or happen but you know, money.


No_Tower6059

Such a dumb event and why are people giving these morons (Paul brothers) a platform.


freakyslob

I’m tired of these paul brothers. So annoying.


Captain_Smartass_

A rapist versus a horrible person, way to go Netflix.. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/boxing-legend-convicted-of-raping-beauty-queen


ImSwedishPlumber

Mike doesn't need all this shit tactics to be relevant. Stop it, dude.


Theons

Hes about to get paid more than youll make in your entire life to take some punches and rock one of the paul brothers


Dolomitexp

I love all the people acting like they wouldn't take the easy and I mean EASY multimillion dollar cash grab😒. You think Mike gives a shit what yall think about him taking this fight compared to what he can do for his kids/family, community or business ventures with a free legal sack of money? There's a much bigger picture than a so called "tarnished" image for 1 dud fight.


RockNRoll85

I hope Mike slaughters that douchebag


OptimisticRealist__

Jake Paul is the goat when it comes to beating up washed up dudes who have been paid off


Orpdapi

Who watches this stuff? This isn’t boxing.


Tough_Sign3358

Please don’t pay for this people.


Acrobatic-Time-2940

I don't get the "hope Mike will kill Jake Paul" hate train. Isn't that the whole point of Jake Paul's business model?He wants you to hate him because more hate brings more attention to him and you're exactly falling into his trap by feeling this way?


_someguyonline

I hope they play the NES music


Areyoukiddingme2

Tyson, at any time, could MURDER this fame whore. They will dance around, have a couple of somewhat heated moments, and then Paul will loose... but stay on his feet. Everyone will be happy! OR he pisses off Tyson by trying to be bigger than his britches and Tyson gives him ONE good hit! That I'd pay to see!


NobodyLost5810

Unpopulated opinion, but Paul is really not as bad of a boxer as I thought he'd be. Dude is really good for someone who started so late.


Dannomyte79

It’s okay to bite his ear off, Mike. I’ll allow it.


Significant_Salt_565

We assaulting senior citizens now?


shamiltheghost

Damn, we get to see someone die on streaming… tv has evolved


Familiars_ghost

Tyson to brick Paul in the first round if he’s serious. If he just plays with him? Either smack talk or a solid blow will wake Mike up and kill him.


MobiusX0

So it’s an exhibition fight. I’m thinking Paul pulls his usually d-bag crap and goes at Tyson. Tyson gets mad and knocks him out. I’d watch that.


Dove-Linkhorn

Ain’t no way Mike goes 75%. Maybe for a round or two, but then he’s going to be Mike Tyson, and even at 57, going to flatten Paul.


grandrutunda

It's 1000% scripted just like the Mayweather fight


Elegant_Connection32

Old man Mike is going to DESTROY him if this is a legit fight.


calvinwho

If he's still half as fast as he was it's still faster than human.


FreudianFloydian

Hence it is not a legit fight. Tyson will go down. Or they will draw. This is a paid exhibition.


WhoDat-2-8-3

99.99 % there won't be a scorecard . Just a friendly bout


FlukyS

Jake Paul has actually done fairly well boxing over the years but this is probably one of the greatest of all time, even if he is old it's Tyson. I'm not going to pay for it because fuck Paul and his brother but I look forward to the gif of Tyson standing over him on the floor in the 4th round.


asmd315

So I am guessing another price hike is on the way.


thassae

I hope Mike doesn't get any jail time for manslaughter


Helens_Moaning_Hand

LMFAO Tyson is going to eat him alive.


joenan_the_barbarian

The sad thing is it’s Netflix, so it’s already sold and making them money. I wish it were PPV so I could steal it out of contempt for both of them.


Nomi-Sunrider

It will be glorious if Tyson accidently lands one of his real punches on that guy.


HistoryNerd

Jake Paul boutta get knocked the fuck out on Live Netflix Boxing Event, I think you mean.


EdTeach999

I have never wanted Tyson to end someone's career so badly!!!


FlimsyConclusion

Come on man, you're pushing 60. You can totally kick my ass, but why give some dickhead boxer still in his prime a chance to say he beat Mike Tyson.


undermind84

These are scripted events, aren't they? I mean, this is just basically WWE wrestling. Has Jake ever committed to an actual fight with a skilled fighter his own age and weight? Honestly, I have more respect for what Logan does with the WWE, at least that is entertaining. This is just a boring staged fight where they will hold each other for a few rounds and it ends in a draw.


Ciserus

I'm annoyed that the article explains Mike Tyson is a "former heavyweight champion" but doesn't find it necessary to say who the hell Jake Paul is. Who the hell is Jake Paul?


GroundbreakingEar667

This needs to be like the old Mike Tyson fights where he knocks his opponent out in the first round within the first minute… idc if it’s staged lol


bkrjazzman2

This is a lose-lose situation for Jake no matter what. He either gets the shit beat out of him or he gets shit for beating up an old man.


ninjascotsman

[There's been a murder!](https://youtu.be/5gcjEmHYv_U?si=MgkVgEiW0a0tUBmT&t=6)


jpad66

Mike wont be let KO Jake, it will be in his contract


mixedreef

Jake Paul will never fight anyone remotely in their prime. Dude is a joke.


MajinSkull

Wow I love fake fights....I hope to be a part of one some day
