He is fortunate to still be able to take advantage of the opportunity of making some money through fighting.
This is a good fight that he can win. Francis made so much money from just his two fights even though he lost, shows that there is enough money to be made from boxing.
Tyson is doing the fight for both money and ego.
I adore how Mike Tyson is doing all in his power to resurrect his former self, and even at his advanced age, the man still has some moves. And the reason the man is receiving inspiration is due to the benefit of earning that kind of money. Since Mike Tyson last fought, he has been training again and is determined to win at all costs. This match will be well-attended because fans from all over the world will be watching, and you can only image how much money many will make from simply betting on it. Boxing as money receiving those blows are not for free. And even if any of them should lose they will still make there money. I hope that ego does not take over him during the match if not it won't end well for him. But if it was for the money then he needs it. Because everyone needs money.
Mike Tyson himself is a popular name in boxing, so no doubt he can attract boxing fans to watch this fight. A lot are excited to see him again inside the ring. Though his age may not favour this intense fight, but if he knows what he's getting into, he knows how to prepare for this upcoming fight. Paul is much much younger but let us see how he will perform in front of the likes of Tyson.
Sure, money may be the motivating factor for Tyson but I believe, it is also combination of his pride. We don't know the rules for this exhibition fight. But they can easily favour Tyson here. Let us see how this will pan out. But so far, Jake Paul is the favourite on this match.
Its all about money talks and i dont believe about glory and pride on fighting up someone specially on your retired state and since you are a legendary boxer and have nothing to do with your time with or spent it out
then you would really be considering on agreeing any exhibition fights that would be set it out on which its true that Mike could drag tons of boxing fans around the globe considering that he's popular and known in boxing world on which it would be something that they would really be willing on paying on. So making money would really be easy into something a fight which isnt really that serious.
Most people would really be in concern with Mike's health due to age but i could say that he's still that fine and still pack a punch.
