Who wins? Mike Tyson seems too crazy to fix a fight.. Jake Paul is fighting Tommy Fury in December and it looks like Logan will fight Mike Tyson.

It'll be a fixed bullshit scam just like the Woodley fight.

They've realized they can make lots of money by staging these weird spectacle fights.

And doing them in a boxing ring is much easier.... much thicker gloves and far less chance of a flash KO, even by accident.

Props to them, they're just following in the footsteps of dudes like Connor McGregor.

I don't think either of them are good fighters though.... I imagine if they really were, they'd be killing dudes in real competition as they stack up however many wins in a row they need for a 500M spectacle title fight.

I think that's why they don't even try with MMA, because they know they'd have to fake too many disciplines at once in front of an audience, and if they even slightly pissed off their mark, the guy could really hurt them, whereas in boxing against older/slower dudes, even if you piss them off, they can't rage KO you.

Tyson at 1/10th of his former ability would still be able to liquefy a regular dudes face.

If Paul doesn't wind up on his back in the first minute then that shit is fixed.

Okay so after Tyson doesn't KO him and they dance around for however many rounds as Tyson agrees his cardio will hold..... who next?

I need to see a roster of over 50 former boxers or just people whom the Pauls can "fight".

Think I heard or read somewhere that Logan Paul has a big announcement coming at the end of November. He had Tyson on his Podcast before his Mayweather fight. They seemed friendly enough as Mike was chewing on mushrooms during the whole thing.

I don't think the Woodley fight was fixed. Woodley has been gun shy for a while he doesn't like getting hit.

Logan Paul is a good wrestler in Ohio he was going into his first year at Ohio State before he got famous. He's also a BJJ blue belt.

Nobody denies that Logan Paul is an extremely tough guy that can do these things. People are suggesting that it's probably not good to get into a boxing match with Mike Tyson, and nobody thinks that Mike Tyson would give him his full effort behind a punch.

I think you are mistaken lol I am a fight fan.

I love boxing and MMA.... if they are good/great fighters they should be competing.

Guys their age train and then fight amateur competition to build up their cred, and then get more and more opportunities on bigger and bigger cards for more and more money.

These guys are just staging spectacle fights for money.

If they truly are great fighters, they could and would make far more money by just beating the **** out of someone on Dana White's Contender series and then winning a UFC fight and then winning a UFC belt.

Could use that as a springboard into big boxing money.

If they were awesome fighters who put on great fights, that'd make me happy.

So they setup a fight with a gunshy, over-the-hill former champ, in a sport he's never competed in professionally.

You keep talking out both sides of your mouth.

They are good fighters who setup fights with bad fighters?

He's a good wrestler who clearly got dominated by a real one?

If either of the Paul bros is legit, all they need do is give Dana White a call and get on a prelim card.

It'd be a huge money maker for both them and the UFC.

Woodley is extremely apprehensive and overly concerned with being "caught". Can hear that in his interviews. That's why Jake wouldn't give him a rematch, afraid Woodley found out he didn't have much of a punch to be concerned about and wouldn't make the same mistake in a rematch.

These guys also making much more money in these celebrity bouts than they would coming up the hard way. Also they know they can't compete at that level. Celebrity matches let them pick opponents more wisely. It's gotta sell but don't want too much of a monster opponent.

Ugh, I've always been a fan of Tyson as a boxer, but it's sad that he's entering this realm of side-show boxing. The Roy Jones Jr. fight was fine in that you had two guys of similar age, but this is just stupid. I hope Tyson wins but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets embarrassed.

I guess the good thing about this is, if anyone can put an end to these young toolbags desperate to box over-the-hill fighters, it's Tyson. I hope he demolishes either one of these guys and retires them from ever wanting to do this again.

I'm just glad Fury and Wilder are around to give some credibility to boxing right now, because fights like this do nothing but put a stain on the sport.

Who's saying there great fighters? They are journeymen facing tougher competition every fight. Do you really think a fighter with five or six fights should be fighting guys like Canelo? That's stupid.

They can't go the traditional path being famous puts a huge target on their back.

I never said they should fight Canelo, so that's just a fun strawman.

Exactly what he should do they're new they can beat the top guys in the sport you're uneducated if you think they can. The smart move is to fight guys on your skill level.

Yes and thats nothing to be ashamed.

UFC doesn't hold boxing matches its a MMA organization.

Fights like these are a different genre in themselves and not a real part of pro boxing.
