In reality, even lost, Mike still earned US$20 million in his pocket. This is not a real boxing match but an entertainment that just presents us in the midst of the current lack of boxing enthusiasts.
But it could be a blunder for Mike. he is a real g.o.a.t. on the boxing world. he is the same level with Muhammad Ali. but because he fights not for the title belt (but for money), people will consider him the same as Hollywood artists.
I guess this is what Mike targeting, he won't get that $20m outside of boxing so even if he lose from Jake Paul's fight he's still getting a lot of money from that fight. Plus he also gain praises or a lot more respect from people who's following his career since he withstand those challenges he face in this fight.
It didn't give bad effect to Mike's Legacy since people already know he's past status and no one can take that out from him just because he lose this fight. People understand that he's old and not capable to get involved with intense fight.
Mike joke around in interview and he said he want to fight Logan next. But I guess there's no promoter will gonna grab that statement since for sure there focus is with Paul now and maybe this is the last match of Tyson.
It was like Tyson said recently, regardless of the outcome of the fight ,he won, since he almost died during an ulcera crisis, having to receive 8 bags of blood and lost 11kg in the hospital,. Being back in the ring and enduring everything was practically a miracle, and he can give his children the opportunity to watch him step into the boxing ring again. Although the event was an exhibition, I think everyone won, Jake Paul, Tyson, Netflix and the audience that watched the fight all over the world.
