Jake Paul urged to make Mike Tyson fight free on YouTube to prove match isn\u2019t about money Instagram\/Jakepaul\/miketysonFormer UFC Lightweight Champ Benson Henderson is demanding Jake Paul fight Mike Tyson for free on YouTube in order to prove he\u2019s not just in it for the money. Mike Tyson\u2019s upcoming return to the ring against influencer boxer Jake Paul has rubbed some people the wrong way, with many speaking out against the bout over Tyson\u2019s health. Despite numerous warnings, Tyson has remained committed to the fight and has been unfazed by the concerns of those in the combat sports world. One such voice belongs to former UFC champ-turned-boxer Benson Henderson, who believes that Jake Paul is only fighting the 58-year-old because of the payday for such a big event. Speaking with talkSPORT, Henderson said he takes issue with the significant age gap between \u2018Iron Mike\u2019 and \u2018The Problem Child.\u2019 (segment begins at 9:35) \u201cAlmost in no sport at all would a 58-year-old man stand any chance against a 27-year-old man in one-on-one combat sport,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s gonna be really hard unless the 27-year-old is pretty low level and the 58-year-old is still high-level, actively competing and actively doing stuff.\u201d The bout, currently slated for November 15, is going to air live on Netflix, but Henderson is convinced that Paul should put the fight on for free if he really doesn\u2019t care about money. In fact, Jake Paul even admitted he would be making a whopping $40M from the fight. \u201cIt is a big moneymaker. I think there\u2019s literally no other reason to do that fight other than to make money,\u201d the former UFC champ explained. \u201cIf you say, \u2018There is another reason do that fight.\u2019 Okay, do it for free. You\u2019re a YouTube star? Sure, no problem. Go do it for free. Put it on YouTube for free and still have that fight. Then tell me that it\u2019s about more than the money. \u201cIt\u2019s all about the money, which is cool. All respect to people doing whatever it is they wanna do to make their money. No disrespect for that. People have got to pay their bills. People have got to make money. So, if that\u2019s what you wanna do to make money, no problem. I\u2019m just not the biggest fan of it.\u201d While it\u2019s doubtful that such a high-profile match will suddenly be free, Mike Tyson himself even suggested that his big boxing return is all about his payday at the end. During an appearance on Logan Paul\u2019s podcast, Tyson shrugged off Jake\u2019s big brother\u2019s warnings about the fight and eyed his reward for going through with what could be his final time in the ring. \u201cThis is what\u2019s going to happen: Two men are gonna fight, somebody\u2019s gonna win, they might fight again, and then they go to their separate banks and life goes on,\u201d Tyson predicted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
