“This is new to me,” Mike Tyson tweeted on Monday. “I saw Jake at St. Barths and he never mentioned it.” And with that, rumors of a famous exhibition between “The Worst Man on the Planet” and Paul stopped.
It was reported by various outlets today (including Boxing Insider) that “A verbal agreement was made to get it, but like all sports business, now it’s all about contracts and splits… Mike was looking for a certain character to play with. join the ring with guaranteed profit sharing.” The main source for this information seems to be Sun, received information from an unnamed “business associate” of Tyson’s.
