[BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson

[kotwica666]

None of his good friends wants to see him fight again at this age, Dana White even said that to the face of Mike Tyson in one of the interview that he does not want to see him compete again even for fun.

And Dana White is right. Even though I would love to see Mike Tyson in the ring, we must realize that he has already taken a lot of hits to the head in his life. There is a very high probability that each subsequent one could cause irreversible consequences. Fortunately, we have video recordings of Tyson's fights (although of poor quality), but they will have to be enough for us.

As for Logan Paul, he for sure have earned enough by simply making fuss around a possible fight with Mike Tyson, so he should be happy.

And it seems, Tyson is not anymore for the money here. So he doesn't want this exhibition fight anymore. He realized, if he will push thru, he's like been milking by these Paul brothers and he doesn't want that to be his last legacy. So yeah, good for Mike Tyson to stop this kind of entertainment in boxing. He's pretty much settled already with his life.

Mike Tyson has a good podcast going on and i am sure he will be fine with that and many public shows that are booked along with his other business especially marijuana business which he started and he is successful in that aspect and he does not need to fight to make money at this age. He wanted to come back because fighting was his passion and to keep his body fit but financially he is safe now.

Mike Tyson's fight videos are of very poor quality, but they can be restored using neural networks and artificial intelligence. 

In the future, it might even be possible to recreate these fights in 3D.  And then create a full-fledged avatar of Mike Tyson (as well as recreate the avatar of Paul Logan). 

It will be possible to organize a battle between these avatars and place bets on the outcome of the battle. 

Therefore, it is not so important whether this fight will take place in reality or not. 

The development of technology will lead to the fact that we will still see this fight, but in virtual reality.

The fact is that Mike is too old to be fighting.  Sure, he could still kick nearly everyone's ass, but the risk of injury or permanent health issues is too much for someone in his position to risk.

Tyson said he was a recovering drug addict, that alone would exclude him from qualifying in most mainstream fights.   Putting the body through that kind of strain can force a serious injury or possibly even cardiac incident, a famous sportsman just died at 53 not far off Tyson's age.    Add in normal injuries that occur like all the areas around the eye that are easily damaged and age its not worth the risk.   From the time on he said he was in recovery I thought it became quite impossible and he gets paid enough just to talk about old fights why risk losing health for money.

When it comes to Mike's cocaine problems, he has spoken about it many times, and he firmly says it's in the past. At the moment, he admits to only smoking marijuana. However, at the moment it doesn't matter as much as just how old he is. No one doubts that Mike still has great abilities and huge experience, but let's not forget that this is a heavy weight. There are no weak players in this weight, and even one not very strong hit could be fatal for any 54-year-old. Even for Iron Mike.

I have also no doubt that Mike's punches are still fatal and he still have that strength to knock out any opponent he takes if he's given a chance, but again he already spoke that his boxing business is over.
Yes he is been open about his addiction in the past, the fact that he's letting people and the public know about that means that he have gone through past that addiction already. And now, yes he is into marijuana only as he also have his own marijuana business called Tyson Ranch.

It was indeed a good thing to see that he somehow managed to overcome his past mistakes, I really thought that it was his end after he got addicted and some other issues that he wasted so much money. And now he is trying to rectify everything by doing some good cause and building business which is a successful especially his Marijuana venture and other business that he's handling.
Yes boxing was his passion but he also knew that his days at the ring and he have no troubles in money now.

nor me but he is a big monster. he always does what he wants. I watched an old video after the fight where he said: I broke my back(spinal) from a motorcycle accident  and said that one day he could not move anymore, after this I will not surprised anything from this guy

I thought Tyson would take this fight for the sake of easy money, but it turns out just the opposite:

Mike Tyson words: "I don't think I'd ever just do stuff like that anymore. I wanted to do it the first time just for fun, just to have fun. Then some people took it to another level and made it financial and the fun went out of it."

If there was a serious discussion about the fight then i am sure Mike Tyson would have approved for the fight but in this instance the Paul brothers just used the name of Mike Tyson to get more promotion and nothing else and they get more media time.

It seems that health is more important to him than money, and even though I wish we could see Iron Mike in the ring, I'm glad he makes very rational and wise decisions.

None of his good friends wants to see him fight again at this age, Dana White even said that to the face of Mike Tyson in one of the interview that he does not want to see him compete again even for fun.

Someone knows if this fight will actually take place or has Mike definitely withdraw and he wants nothing to do with these kind of exhibitions fights anymore? After all, I understand that when the pandemic was ongoing and people were craving for any kind of entertainment then something like this was necessary and even very attractive, however now that things are slowly going back to some sense of normality we do not need these kind of fights anymore.

I'm impressed. As for the possibilities of improving the graphics and even the 3D version, I can imagine that it will be possible. However, it is hard for me to imagine that artificial intelligence will be able to create a fight simulation based on the movements and capabilities of fighters from recorded fights. I am not saying that it will not be possible because I would like to, but at this point my brain is not able to imagine it yet. In any case, I keep my fingers crossed that I will still live to see such technical possibilities of artificial intelligence. It would definitely be something big!

As for Logan Paul, he for sure have earned enough by simply making fuss around a possible fight with Mike Tyson, so he should be happy.

It only proves one thing.

That whatever Logan wants to put in hype, he'll make sure that it will be on hype just as this fight that won't happen anymore.

Respect for the likes of Mike Tyson and whatever he wanted to do should be supported and from his retirement, he should be good and do the things that he like at his age that's no longer related on fighting including him on the ring.

[madnessteat]

Haha that's an interesting idea. I didn't even think of that. Most likely it was Logan Paul who initiated the Mike Tyson fight rumors so he can really use it to draw attention to himself and monetize it. In contrast, Mike Tyson continues to develop his marijuana plantations and make money in the real sector.

He is already popular so he can have a fight and make money.

However, fighting Mike Tyson could be dangerous for him and I cannot understand why it takes too long before Mike Tyson confirm that the fight will not happen or there will be no fight between them, so I have a feeling that they have gone into an initial negotiation and eventually did not agree on the terms.

I didnt actually expect something like this yet we know that marijuana isnt legal in most part of the country but it seems this one is pretty legit and he do really makes money with this.

Well, I can imagine that too! Or rather, I believe that everything in life involves money (or rather, almost everything lol)

But in fact, do you believe that this fight can really take place? During this war between Russia vs Ukraine, Covid-19 Pandemic among other bad things happening around the world!!?

Not anymore.

This match isn't going nowhere and not going to happen anymore. It's been said and I think that's already final and Mike is going to do whatever he wants for good.

And he's not going to give any attention for this match so we as fans, don't expect anything anymore and even there's something that happens by surprise, let it happen if it will.

Dana has a point, and this point that he's aging it's too risky for him because he yes might have that experience but we couldn't neglect the consequence because his body might not take it anymore. Mike Tyson have done enough in the industry, he doesn't have to fight anymore and he will be a legend that no one can argue. The following generations that doesn't know him can always look at some fights he did.

Indeed, Logan Paul surely monetized just from making a nonsense fuss. No doubt about that!

Doesnt really need to prove out more or something because he had already done enough and its just normal that he would prioritize his health rather than on risking on some exhibition fights which in general sense

it doesnt really need for him to do so and just like said by other people that he is earning decent money from his business and he doesnt really need any other things that he knows that he could
really put himself on danger.SO this fight wouldnt really happen and its just all rumors i would say.

Yeah, that was my point that's is why he doesn't want to partake on any matches at all for good even if it's an exhibition fight with sure money at stake because he knows his limits now and because his is not getting any younger, you know age comes with complications. Dana White was just also saying that Mike's decision was right but in other words with the same point.

[perla]

I see that this thread is active for more than months now but we still don't see any improvements with the negotiations. I don't think this match will happen and also I don't think Mike Tyson will show mercy to Logan Paul and he would beat that kid easily, which that's why I wanted this match to happen but I think it will never gonna happen now.

He's been growing marijuana for a long time, and as far as I know, he's still expanding that business.

I don't think an exhibition fight with Logan Paul, who is an amateur boxer, would seriously affect Mike Tyson's health. Personally, I'm sorry we won't get to see Mike Tyson kick his ass.

Not just you mate, truth is that almost all of the people who know Mike Tyson and other boxing fanatics are also looking forward to see Iron Mike fight again in the ring and beating the young Logan Paul who just wants to milk the industry for having some nonsense exhibition fights just like he did vs Mayweather.
Sadly, Mike have already talked about this few weeks or month ago that he won't be stepping into the ring to do fights for good. The thread is just active because some are still speculating that this match will happen and the OP is still letting the thread open.
