Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul
Tyson said that accepting this bout was a "no brainer" and an opportunity to shock the sports world because, at57, he is still in his prime.
In spite of his bankruptcy in 2010, he is still in good health, so why not pursue his passion and earn more money?
Tyson is expected to have made $20 million from the bout, but Paul's pay is still unknown.
Significant sponsorship and advertising money is anticipated from the event's ticket sales and the exclusive live stream on Netflix.
Jake Paul, who is frequently viewed as divisive, sees himself as the greatest enemy and says that opponents are coming up to take him on in an effort to "end the YouTube boxer" craze.
