Eddie Hearn explains why Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson would trump Mayweather fight Instagram\/miketyson\/Amanda Westcott for SHOWTIMEBoxing promoter Eddie Hearn thinks that the rumored boxing match between Logan Paul and Mike Tyson is a bad idea, but he also thinks it will be better than the YouTuber\u2019s bout with Floyd Mayweather. Legendary boxer Mike Tyson is looking to make his return to the ring in February and reports have swirled that he will be battling The Maverick in what could be on the wildest spectacles to date. While many are excited for the potential contest, including former UFC champion Michael Bisping who believes Tyson will send the elder Paul brother to the hospital, boxing promoter Eddie Hearn isn\u2019t as onboard. During an appearance on True Geordie, he was asked for his thoughts on the fight and offered up some surprising criticism, even comparing it to Logan\u2019s exhibition against Floyd Mayweather. (Segment begins at 1:22:25) Hearn more excited for Paul vs Tyson than Mayweather fight When asked what he thought of the fight as a possibility, Hearn didn\u2019t pull any punches and slammed the rumored match while still preferring it over the Paul vs Mayweather bout. \u201cI prefer that, and I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m saying this, I prefer that to Floyd and Logan. That fight was absolutely a load of bull,\u201d he remarked. \u201cI thought \u2018what?\u2019 You\u2019ve got a pound for pound great again against a bloke that, I mean, not can\u2019t fight, but it was horrible.\u201d Interestingly, Logan and Mayweather\u2019s fight was applauded by many, including podcast host Joe Rogan who praised it as an entertaining \u201cfreak show.\u201d \u201cIt was horrible to watch,\u201d he added. \u201cTyson, it shouldn\u2019t happen, but at least I would want to find out what happens in that fight.\u201d Only time will tell if Logan and Tyson do in fact duke it out and if it ends up being more entertaining than when the YouTuber took on Floyd. In any case, hopefully, we can find out by February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
