AFAIK, Mike Tyson isn't in a very good financial situation. He would fight anyone for a few dollars.
This would be more like a circus or US wrestling rather than a real boxing match. At this point, I truly believe that there will be a fight between Floyd Mayweather and the Paul brothers(it doesn't mater Logan or Jake) in the near future. Mayweather and the Paul brothers both like money and shitcoin/NFT scams so there won't be a problem for them to setup a match and get some easy money. Grin

I really don't know who is going to win between Paul and Tyson, maybe whoever gets proclaimed as an outsider by the bookies. Grin

Where did you get that information? Wasnt it only in the past, his promoter Don King, stole most of Mike Tysons money. I havent heard that Tyson is in so bad situation that he would fight anybody. At least he has earned recently when he helped Francis Ngannou to prepare against Tyson Fury. And if he would really be in such urgent need of money, I think he could have organized a friendly fight with some of former boxing champions. That would be more easy and less harmful way to earn.

He is still a millionaire as what we can read online.

As of 2023, Mike Tyson, the iconic figure in the world of boxing, boasts an estimated net worth of around $10 million. This figure, sourced from Celebrity Net Worth, paints a complex picture of a career marked by astounding success and notable challenges.

That was in 2023, $10 million is already a lot of money. However, compared to other boxers who are making millions every fight, that might not be big enough, but for sure he is not struggling financially, unless he is living a lavish life. His fight with Jake Paul, this could be another million paycheck for him, so that's fine as if it will not happen, I'm sure other boxers will be interested with Mike, and he can still make money.

His life is very related to boxing, so we will see him from time to time, on and off the boxing ring.

$10 million dollars seems like a lot to normal people, but to Mike Tyson it is probably very concerning. Enough so that he's taking this fight... He doesn't have a day job, so it isn't like he has this regular stream of income. He has his podcast, which he just shut down, that I'm assuming employs a lot of people and costs him a lot to run. With all the podcasts nowadays, I'm sure he isn't bringing in the same money he was previously. So I think it really is a situation where he wants a final payday to retire on while simultaneously doing things like ending his podcast to cut his liabilities and give him a chance to be smart with his money going forward so he has a comfortable end of life scenario.
