Give the Paul brothers this – they attract top talent, albeit on the hill. Less than a year after Logan Paul fought Floyd Mayweather in a hugely lucrative exhibition, Sun is now reporting that younger brother Jake Paul is deeply engaged in “enhanced talks” with none other than Mike Tyson himself. Of course, those “talks” had to do with a multi-million dollar pay-per-view exhibit between the two men. “Representatives of Tyson and Paul,” Sun reports, “is rolling out pay-per-view plans later this year.” If it is agreed, the match will end in Las Vegas.
According to an unnamed “business associate” of Tyson’s: “A verbal agreement was made to start, but like all sports business, now it’s all about contracts and sharing money… Mike was looking for a certain character to get into the ring with guaranteed profit sharing.” With fighters like Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao now retired and figures like stars UFC Conor McGregor is no longer more dominant than they used to be, the Paul brothers seem to be taking the novel boxing phenomenon to the next level.
Of course, they couldn’t have done it without the big names, and Tyson is the biggest name you can get. Although now in his fifties, he was once dubbed the “ugliest man on the planet”, so fierce, so successful and so popular during his prime that Muhammad Ali and Jack Dempsey, had Possibly the only other boxers to have achieved it before. such a level of popularity. There have been no other fighters since. That means a fight between Paul and Tyson, even a Tyson in the hills, is sure to bring in loads of eyeballs and dollars.
The source, who asked not to be named, said that Paul “is eager to show the world that stepping into the ring with the man who was once dubbed the ugliest man on the planet will take his boxing career to the next level.” .” It will definitely take his novel boxing career to the next level. The question, of course, is how a promising boxer with limited experience – and that’s basically Paul’s thing – will do against an old, overgrown lion. mine? Whether or not this war happens, that will be the question millions of people may have to pay to see the answer to.
