Mike Tyson might be warming to the idea of fighting Jake Paul.
The legendary boxer told Joe Rogan on the former heavyweight champ’s podcast that he would face the YouTuber-turned-boxer in an exhibition to break the pay-per-view record of 4.6 million set by Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao in 2015.
“Hell yeah, only to break the record,” Tyson said when he was asked whether he’d face Paul. “Let’s do it Jakey, God, wouldn’t that be cool?”
Tyson went on: “Jake Paul believe it not is more profitable than the champs. This guy probably brings about 80 million people to the table.”
The 55-year-old fought Roy Jones Jr. in a successful exhibition in November 2020.
Tyson, who has partied with Paul, worries about his counterpart’s behavior.

“I worry about him getting in trouble before the fight (between them) happened,” Tyson said. “I’d tell him, ‘Hey man, you’re going to go for jail for real, chill out.’ This dude’s crazy, he would be throwing stuff at people, bottles and stuff.”
