After Logan Paul\u2019s exhibition match against Floyd \u2018Money\u2019 Mayweather, nothing is off the cards for the Paul brothers when it comes to boxing. With Jake Paul being undefeated in his career, the YouTube star has been eyeing up some of the best fighters in the world like Saul \u2018Canelo\u2019 Alvarez. Though, there have also been wild rumors that he might be stepping into the ring against one of the greatest boxers of all-time \u2013 Mike Tyson. Previously \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike has shut down any possibility of a face-off, and now he\u2019s asked for an outrageous amount to fight Jake. During a recent episode of Tyson\u2019s Hotboxin\u2019 podcast, he was joined by WBC Middleweight Champion Jermall Charlo, who mentioned that we\u2019re still yet to see any YouTubers step in the ring with a \u201creal boxer\u201d to contend for a title. Furthermore, podcast co-host Paul Pierce added to the conversation with the rumors that Tyson could soon be facing off again Jake Paul \u2013 which would get a lot of attention and money for the two fighters according to Pierce. While it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess how much they\u2019d make, Charlo noted that it could possibly net them $49M. But, the legend is reluctant, stating that he\u2019ll only be fighting Paul if the price is right \u2013 and that price is above what WBC Champion claims they\u2019d get. \u201cWe gotta get some more money man, sh*t,\u201d Tyson said. \u201cBlue eyes, blonde hair \u2013 that sh*t is very expensive. We gotta get some more money.\u201d Later Tyson noted he want a \u201cbillion bucks\u201d for the bout. (Timestamp at 7:56) The boxing legend has previously admitted that \u201canything is possible\u201d and spoke about how charities would benefit from the two getting into the ring. Only time will tell if we\u2019ll see a fight between Paul and Tyson, but both would certainly be getting a huge payday if it went ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mike Tyson sets outrageous asking price for Jake Paul fight Instagram\/JakepaulBoxing legend \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike Tyson wants more than the rumored $50 million to step in the ring with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, but his price tag is a bit outrageous.
