No. ‘Cause we’re the ones that brought the deal to Mike Tyson. I don’t know why he [Logan Paul] would say that. Me, and Most Valuable Promotions, and my partner Nakisa [Bidarian] struck a deal with Netflix and then went to other fighters to try to get them involved. At the start, it was Tommy Fury. He wanted more money. There wasn’t more money. So, and then, we went to Mike Tyson. And after months of talking, got him to be down to fight. And so, Mike Tyson wasn’t offering him a deal. So, I don’t know what he’s talking about.”
That said, it’s hard to understand why Logan Paul would lie about the situation. Regardless, the fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will certainly attract a lot of eyeballs and it will be an interesting watch.
