Eddie Hearn slams Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson \u201cfreak show\u201d YouTube: The Stomping Ground\/NetflixEddie Hearn has labeled Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson as a \u201cfreak show\u201d, admitting that he will wait and see who is on the undercard before deciding whether to watch the fight or not. Tyson, 57, will take on Paul, 27, on July, 20. The fight will be streamed live on Netflix, taking place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the NFL\u2018s Dallas Cowboys. Tyson Fury has claimed that the bout is \u201cfantastic for boxing\u201c, as the Gypsy King shared his support for the fight. Yet Anthony Joshua\u2019s promoter, Hearn, has now given a scathing assessment of the upcoming fight as he refused to hold back in his critique of the contest. Eddie Hearn: Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson a \u201cfreak show\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s difficult, you know my opinion, I\u2019ve given interviews on it before,\u201d Hearn told the Stomping Ground\u2019s YouTube channel. \u201cBut if you say anything negative, you\u2019re a hater. I get the event. I know what people want to see. They want to see freak shows. And that\u2019s what it is, it\u2019s a freak show. Topic starts at 15:40. \u201cIt\u2019ll do really well. People will tune in. But it\u2019s not for everyone. If you grew up watching Mike Tyson and he\u2019s one of your greatest fighters of all-time, the last thing you want to do is see him get back in the ring at 58-years-old [when the fight takes place on July, 20] and lose to Jake Paul. \u201cThe general consensus from the casual audience is \u2018Oh that\u2019s a bit of a freak show, I\u2019ll watch that\u2019. Who knows what\u2019s going to be on the card, maybe it\u2019s a great night of boxing, we\u2019ll see.\u201d Asked whether he will watch the fight, Hearn replied: \u201cWe\u2019ll see. We\u2019ll see what\u2019s on the undercard. I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
