The vast majority of people want and expect Tyson to destroy Jake Paul - even though Mike Tyson will be 58, and Jake Paul will be 27. But it seems most aren't aware Jake Paul has a 9-1 record (a single split decision loss, against 6 of his wins by KO). He has wins over Ben Askrin, Nate Diaz, and Anderson Silva. What we do know is that Jake Paul can go the distance, but Mike Tyson gassed after the second round, and that was twenty years ago. Both can take and deliver a beating. Both are famous. Both have sexual assault allegations. Both have the power to KO an opponent in one punch.
It just might be the most watched fight in decades - unfortunately, every time I look at numbers I'm always met with PPV buy rates, which are usually quite low - the highest one was only 4.6 million, a far cry from the estimated 300 million to 1 billion viewers that fights like Ali vs Frazier attracted. Needless to say, it'll probably be the most watched fight in decades. The most watched fight since 2000 was the "freak show" fight Bob Sapp vs. Akebono at K-1 Premium Dynamite in 2003 at 54 million (back when both Akebono and Sapp were colossal celebrities in Japan, both figuratively and literally), I think Tyson vs. Jake Paul can beat this one.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
