Mike Tyson claps back at the critics of his fight against Jake Paul
A lot has been said about Mike Tyson’s fight against Paul. While some fans seem excited, others have criticized Jake Paul for fighting a 57-year-old retired boxer.
Responding to his critics, Tyson had this to say:
“I say in your prime you couldn’t draw a million people, man. What are you talking, you couldn’t sell out arena. Who at 58 could sell out an 80,000-seat arena? Why you think he wants to fight me and not anybody else? Everybody wants to fight him, all the boxers want to fight him. But if he fought them the only people that will come are the people that like him.”
It’s safe to say that Tyson is raising a very valid point here. That said, it will be interesting to see how the fight does.
