Mike Tyson contract claim suggests he could lose money if he KOs Jake Paul Associated PressFormer world champion Carl Froch has claimed rules in the fight\u2019s contract could see Mike Tyson receive less money if he knocks out Jake Paul in the first round of their fight on July 20, live on Netflix. Froch, a former super-middleweight world champion, has raised concerns over the contract in place between the Paul and Tyson and the ramifications it might have for the fight. \u201cFrom what I\u2019m hearing with the contracts, allegedly, he gets paid less if he wins in round one, Tyson, or if he gets a knockout, he gets paid even less,\u201d he told Safebettingsites.co.uk. \u201cThere\u2019s restrictions in his contract based on how he wins. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s been confirmed, but I\u2019ve read somewhere that there\u2019s a clause in his contract that means he\u2019s going to earn less money if he goes out there and destroys Jake Paul. Because that\u2019s Mike Tyson\u2019s chance, isn\u2019t it? \u201cComes out, still got all of his power, still got his punching power, still feels strong, can still throw a few decent punches, but his fitness and cardiovascular endurance are pretty much gone, his reflexes are shot to bits, he\u2019s got no real timing, he can\u2019t extend and he hasn\u2019t got the speed to land shots.\u201d \u201cSo the best chance Mike Tyson\u2019s got is to get on Jake Paul or Jake Paul tries to grab hold of him and push him off, manhandle him and smash him on the side of the head,\u201d Froch continued. \u201cMike Tyson has got a chance early on at the start of the fight if he connects, so I reckon Jake Paul is a massive favourite in a shambles of an exhibition, which I think shouldn\u2019t be happening.\u201d While Froch\u2019s claims remain unsubstantiated, preparations for the fight are ramping up as we get closer to the July 20 fight date. Tyson, 57, suffered a shock medical emergency which sparked concerns as to whether the fight would indeed go ahead or not. However, the man 30 years Paul\u2019s senior, has put any fears of the contest being called off to rest, after he confirmed that he was back to 100%, something that he claimed he he does not need to be at in order to beat \u2018The Problem Child\u2019. This is not the first time that Froch has spoken out over the pair\u2019s fight. \u2018The Cobra\u2019 has already suggested that the fight is a \u201cfix\u201d, claiming that the bout is set to follow a script. 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. A mouth-watering $2 million VIP ticket package has already been revealed, ahead of their official sale on Thursday, May 16 at 12pm ET. The fight has divided opinion in the boxing world. Tyson Fury has insisted that the bout is \u201cfantastic for boxing,\u201d while Anthony Joshua\u2019s promoter, Eddie Hearn, dubbed it a \u201cfreak show.\u201d Some of the biggest concerns surrounding the fight are over the 30-year age gap between the pair, with fears touted by some that Tyson could potentially suffer major injuries during the bout. But Tyson\u2019s trainer, Rafael Cordeiro, has dismissed fears concerning the boxing legend\u2019s health, insisting that the 57-year-old is in great shape.
