But this will definitely be interesting to watch. However, just like any (albeit exhibition) Tyson fights. It is clear that this is done solely for the sake of money and the fight is not real. Well, it doesn't matter. But for Tyson's fans, of whom there are still many left in this world, such an event is like a journey into the past. By the way, there's a good TV series about Tyson, "Mike," released by hulu in 2022.
Mike Tyson seems to be hoping for a repeat payday like he had in the Jake Paul fight, but honestly, I’m not interested in watching another blatant money grab. Floyd Mayweather may be a master at selling fights, but I doubt he can make this one work. Tyson clearly couldn’t pull the trigger in his bout with Paul, and that alone suggests this matchup is destined to flop. If Mayweather really wants to generate buzz, he’d be better off fighting Pacquiao, that would actually sell.
That Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight though is a big success as far as I can see it. And with Floyd's mastery of selling fights, maybe this could be one of the biggest for this year. But I do agree that this is just a money grab.
I already see the narrative in some social media sites that Floyd doesn't believed that Mike Tyson is one of the best and that him, Floyd is the GOAT which Mike Tyson doesn't agree. So let's see if this is going to sell for their fans. Floyd is not going to fight Manny, he is avoiding him even in exhibition fight.
