Jake Paul, known for his extravagant challenges, has launched a new bet for his upcoming fight. The controversial YouTuber-turned-boxer is offering an additional $5 million to Mike Tyson if the former champion can last more than four rounds in their bout. The fight, set for November 15, was already surrounded by criticism. With this bet, Paul aims to add even more spectacle to an already media-fueled match.
The offer adds to the $20 million Tyson is projected to earn for his participation in the fight. However, Paul didn’t stop there. In a video posted on Tuesday, the young boxer took it a step further by proposing a consequence if Tyson fails to last more than four rounds. “Mikey Mikey, if you can last more than four rounds with me, I’ll give you an extra $5 million… But if you don’t, then you have to get a tattoo that says, ‘I love Jake Paul,’” Paul declared in a challenging tone.
The most talked-about fight of the year
The bout between 27-year-old Jake Paul and 58-year-old Mike Tyson has become one of the most talked-about events in the boxing world. The fight will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and will be broadcast live on Netflix, which has heavily promoted the event. Experts have expressed divided opinions about the fight. Many have called it a “spectacle” and a “farce,” given the significant age and experience difference between the two fighters.
Despite the criticism, some believe Tyson still has a chance. Although he’s no longer the fighter who once dominated the boxing world, the legend remains feared for his punching power. If Tyson manages to land a solid punch, he could put Paul in serious trouble. On the other hand, Paul, who has received both praise and criticism for his transition into boxing, seems confident. During the promotion of the fight, he has focused on fun and provocation, something he has showcased on his social media platforms.
Jake Paul’s show continues to rise
Although the fight may seem like a circus to many, Jake Paul is expected to earn a substantial amount of money. Estimates suggest his earnings could exceed $40 million, further solidifying his place in the entertainment boxing business. Paul has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to capture the public’s attention, whether through his victories in the ring or his self-promotion tactics.
November 15 will be a decisive date for both fighters. While the outcome of the fight is uncertain, the $5 million bet has undoubtedly raised expectations. Tyson, who has shown intense training on his social media, will not only aim to last the four rounds but also to reaffirm his legacy. Meanwhile, Jake Paul is confident that, in the end, he will emerge victorious, with or without a tattoo involved.
