Mike Tyson’s Billion-Dollar Demand to Jake Paul Sums Up the Netflix Fight

Published

on

The decision to continue the fight was widely criticized in the boxing community, primarily due to the significant age difference of 31 years between both fighters. Despite these concerns, Tyson insists he is in good shape and will be ready to enter the ring later this week.

While Tyson is set to receive another massive payday, it will be significantly less than his initial asking price. Two years ago, on an episode of the Hotboxin podcast, the veteran boxer demanded $1 billion to take on the social media sensation.

In a candid exchange with Jermell Charlo and Paul Pierce, Tyson made it clear that money was a factor in a potential fight with Paul, stating: “Hey, I don’t have any f**king money. So where is the fucking contract? ” Despite denying knowledge of any negotiations with the YouTuber-turned-boxer, he admitted to socializing with Paul, including using drugs together.

“I don’t know anything about it. Listen, I’ve been smoking with him forever, I’ve also drank mushrooms with him. But I’ve never heard it. Not long ago I was with him in St. Barts party and he never told me that. I’ve never heard this from anyone, I just heard it from you. We need to get more man b***h, blue eyed, blonde hair, that’s b***h. This is very costly, we need to get some more money, man.

Pressed on the price to get into the ring with Paul, Tyson didn’t hesitate: “a billion dollars.”

Despite his nonchalant comment about the huge sum, the 58-year-old heavyweight legend has previously made it clear that his reasons for returning to boxing are not financial. Currently, Tyson’s income largely comes from his cannabis business rather than his boxing career.

He has expressed more interest in the challenge of fighting Jake Paul than the monetary gain, as evidenced by his comment at September’s Cage Wars MMA event in which he mentioned, “I could wait for a cannabis check every day,” he said.

“To me it’s nonsense. I am a man; I want to go out there and put myself at risk. Sometimes I want to see who I really am. I want to see what I’m really made of. I want to perform in front of the whole world. In my opinion, this is all I have known how to do since I was 14 years ancient. This fight won’t change my life enough financially. This is what I want to do. “

Boxing fans spent a fortune buying a staggering £1.5million of VIP tickets for Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson. Six guests will receive incredible access to both fighters and a huge range of benefits over three days.

The package includes a pre-fight locker room visit and a custom-built ringside room to elevate the lucky winners above the rest of the crowd. They will also be on stage during the ceremonial weigh-in and will have private entry to all events.

Jake Paul bet his entire £31million purse on the outcome of the Mike Tyson fight

Published

on

YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has placed his entire $40 million (£31 million) bet on the outcome of his upcoming fight against boxing legend Mike Tyson. The fight, which will take place next Friday in Dallas, will be Tyson’s first professional fight in almost two decades.

Considering he is 31 years younger than the former undisputed heavyweight champion, Paul is the bookmakers’ favorite to win. During the pre-main event bout, Paul accepted bets from several undercard fighters, including Neeraj Goyat, who bet his $1 million house.

Katie Taylor, who is ready for a rematch with Amanda Serrano, went a step further. When Paul asked her how much she wanted to bet, Taylor replied, “Do you want to bet your wallet?” Without hesitation, Paul agreed, saying, “Yes, let’s put the bag down. Deal” and shook Taylor’s hand.

While many doubt whether the bets will hold, Paul insists that contracts will be signed before Friday evening. Earlier this year, Paul bragged about his earnings from his 12th professional fight.

When asked if he brought Tyson in to “legitimize” his boxing career, Paul replied: “I didn’t bring him in for any shit; “I’m here to make $40 million and knock out a legend I don’t want.” don’t worry about anything else, he wanted it to be a professional fight and he really will get knocked out.”

Paul doesn’t hold back before fighting the legendary Tyson, boasting to reporters: “You’ll see in his record: Jake Paul knocks out Mike Tyson; I’m not here to do shit except make a bag. Every time fighters sit across from me and watch ‘YouTuber this, Disney kid that’ and they end up on the canvas… this will be no different. I offered this deal to this ancient bastard he signed with Netflix and we brought him the deal, you’re welcome my son.

Meanwhile, Tyson made the pre-fight farce clear during his latest press conference, giving terse answers and showing perceptible irritation when asked about a possible loss to Paul. “I said everything I had to say,” Tyson declared, quickly trying to deflect further questions.

But not to be silenced, he assured firmly, “I’m not going to lose.” When pressed again, his patience wore slim as he repeated, “Did you hear what I said?” In a edged response, Paul joked: “That’s cute. I’m not afraid of any man, so I want him to be wild ancient Mike.

Tony Bellew sent off as Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson press conference descends into chaos

Published

on

Former world champion Tony Bellew was kicked out of Mike Tyson’s press conference with Jake Paul after he went on a tirade against the YouTuber. Bellew is in Texas for Tyson’s heavyweight clash with Paul on Friday and interrupted the press conference to criticize Paul.

However, the stunt backfired when Bellew’s microphone failed and no one could hear the former cruiserweight champion. He was then awkwardly escorted out of the room by security as a confused Paul looked on.

Bellew has consistently criticized Paul, who has built a boxing career since his professional debut in 2020. In his 12th professional fight, he will face 58-year-old Tyson, and his only defeat was last year against Tommy Fury.

Earlier this week, Bellew criticized Paul for the Tyson fight. He said The best books about sports Offsore: “Mike Tyson is a grandfather.

“He is 58 years vintage. He’s approaching 60 and fighting a man who’s not even half his age. Disney Boy is attacking grandparents right now. It’s really scary. We might as well go to the nursing home and start digging out some of them.”

“If Mike shows up and puts his right hand on him, he will fall asleep. So who should he fight? 70 years vintage? If he wins, will he continue to play like this as he gets older? Is he going to come down? Will he face a real boxer?”

Despite a break from Bellew, Tyson remained largely hushed just two days before returning to the ring. The boxing legend last fought four years ago when he and Roy Jones Jr ended in a dull draw after eight rounds.

However, Paul had doubts whether Tyson would keep his promise and knock out the social media sensation. “He says he’s going to kill me, doesn’t he? I want this killer, I want there to be no excuses when I knock him out.”

Asked if Tyson had called him a “fabricated killer”, Paul replied: “Whatever you want to think, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the deadliest weapon in the world being produced is nuclear weapons.

“Someone is put to sleep, it will be a war. We’re both weighty hitters and it doesn’t go the distance.
