Jake Paul v Mike Tyson OFFICIAL November AT & T stadium 80,000 capacity!

This will be my first post on this thread as well, as I don't generally don't patronize circus events in boxing.

But I don't get how people are only talking about the possibility of Mike getting hurt.

Hey I get it. The guy's damn well near 60. That alone is a scary thought.

But having seen the exhibition between Iron Mike and RJJ four years ago... how about the possibility of Jake getting hurt?

This has all the makings of a very short circus... er... fight.

Either Mike's age betrays him in a very dangerous way, which we should all pray doesn't happen... or Mike unleashes a punch like Jake the YouTuber has never seen before, and it's lights OUT.

Sad that this event is even happening.

It could go either way, which is the big sell for this fight. More than likely it will be a dull contest where both agree not to hurt one another and goes the full distance.

As much as I would love to buy into all the vids of Tyson in training looking like a beast, they are 10 second snippets. This has got fix written all over it. Both guys standing off and boring as fuck.

That an ATG like Iron Mike would sell out to a circus event against a glorified YouTuber for something that'll end in a boring standoff... it's beyond sad.

Eddie is one hypocritical cunt.

Eddie Hearn has described November's Jake Paul v Mike Tyson headline bout in Texas as "dangerous, irresponsible and disrespectful to boxing".

Hearn will attend the event at AT&T Stadium to support Katie Taylor in her rematch with Amanda Serrano, but claims he will leave before the main event.

"The reality is that 20 years ago when Mike Tyson retired from the sport he was shot, completely finished," the Matchroom boss told BBC Sport. "It was actually sad to watch then, 20 years ago."

"I'm in awe of him - he's one of my favourite ever fighters, one of the greatest of all time - but he's a 58-year-old man," Hearn added.

"You only need to speak to him and look at him to know this guy should not be in a ring again."

"If I was Jake Paul I'd just feel a little bit embarrassed to be honest with you. It's a liberty," Hearn said.

"This is dangerous, irresponsible and, in my opinion, disrespectful to the sport of boxing."

The pair were due to fight on 20 July but Tyson had an ulcer flare-up that forced the match with the YouTuber to be rescheduled.

"That was the moment they should have realised that this was actually a bad idea," Hearn added.

"Everybody loves a dollar bill, including me, but sometimes the green-eyed monster can make you some bad decisions - and I think this is one of them."
