I’m in absolutely no doubt that the event will be a financial success and that a lot of Jake followers will be excited to watch it, I just can’t help but question how many of them actually wanted this particular “fight” in the first place, over anything else that could have been put together. To someone in their teens / 20’s, Tyson must appear positively ancient.gp. wrote: ↑14 May 2024, 14:50Yep. They'd watch him wrap a parcel, but they'll be up for this. They know who Tyson is, for a start. If Paul fought Usyk they would still watch it, but it wouldnt be as exciting to them to watch Paul fight that Ukrainian guy nobody ever heard of as it would to see him fighting the great Mike Tyson. Everyone knows Mike Tyson! He's a boxer.
Bear in mind that you are talking about people who stood in lines for hours, drove miles and paid ten times the retail value to get hold of bottles of coloured sugar water when Jake Paul told them to. Although actually that was his brother, but same thing.
Anyway it is what it is. Tommy Fury is probably sitting somewhere wondering if he could somehow get Lennox to come back for one night only.
