Think it will be a good fight? (Poll Question)
I hope both teams have fun.
This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts.
Will it be a good fight? Nope.

Jake Paul isn't interested in becoming a world-class boxer. He's an entertainer and that's why he chooses gimmicky opponents. He doesn't seek a challenge, he seeks viewers. His critics point to how he only fights old, retired or close to retired fighters and this fight is no different. And he doesn't care because he's making money hand-over-fist.

Tyson is a huge get, but he's pushing 60 and is no where near prime Tyson, in mentality as well as physicality. Tyson is trying to enjoy life. He wants to entertain and make money. I'm sure he will train and say all the right things, but he ain't got that hunger any more. He'll probably take the loss and hug Jake Paul and boost him up and thank Jake and say that Jake is the real deal and all that

It's a circus matchup. Nothing more

Depends. If Jake pisses him off, I can see Tyson losing his temper and annihilating Jake.
The world may be going to Hell, but I am personally awash with convenience.
hopefully it has a lot of action

If Tyson was still the same person as he used to be he would 100% be in jail for murder by now if he wasn't dead. He was a psychotic rapist that bit a guy's ear off in an athletic contest. Even current Mike Tyson hates past Mike Tyson.
It would have been interesting if this was the late 80's/early 90's but now its just kind of sad. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Tyson could still clean his clock if he actually cared to try, but I just don't see him putting in that kind of work when he can just show up and cash an easy paycheck.

Mike Tyson still got a temper
I don't think there's a single thing I like about Jake Paul. He's like Elon, he just embarrasses himself over and over for being hatable.

Maybe the two of them could have a death match to be the first person to die on Mars.
^I thought him and that Zuckerberg guy was supposed to fight MMA style? Anyway yea, just a bunch of uber 'Rich' (insert race) guys who lucked out on other
peoples/banks money by investing in not so fringe Tech...

I believe it's only an exhibition, like the fight with Mayweather (was him or the other Paul bro?)
Can't say I care.

That's his schtick. He wants people to hate him and he books these fights so schmucks tune in hoping to see him lose and then he rides off into the sunset with a big bag of cash
Jake is going to get fucked up. This is going to be like watching a dumpster fire I cant watch.

Iron Mike is going to win for sure. I feel bad for Jake Paul even though he has terrible associations (I think his brother disrespected the dead)

Why would you feel bad for him, it isn't like someone is forcing him to do this, he literally went out of his way to make this happen. Jake Paul isn't just terrible by association, he's as big a jackass as his brother.

One can only hope no one slips anything into Tyson's system to make him go berserk. That would be tragic.

I'm hoping that somewhere Tyson is going through some Rocky-esque training montage so that he is absolutely jacked when he goes into the fight.
...mike wouldn't agree to lose, would he?

^depending on how much of the pot/split he's getting...

But again, it's an exhibition, so no matter what happens (probably a draw like his Roy Jones Jr fight) it's all just for entertainment...more like a WWE match, IMO
