Jake vs. Tyson: A great marketing fight
That’s an insane amount of people that Jake can reach to create interest in his celebrity level boxing matches.
Jake, 27, chooses his opponents wisely, and may have hit the jackpot with his choice of 58-year-old Mike Tyson, who looked tired and much older than his chronological age during Tuesday’s training session in front of the Friday’s eight rounder on AT&T. Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
If things work well, Jake will destroy the legend Tyson and continue with stealth battles. He expects to attract Canelo Alvarez in the fight with him, that would bring a ton of money. Of course, Jake would have zero chance of winning.
It’s just about money, cheap entertainment, and bringing in more subscribers. You can’t blame Jake for not making easy money.
“I think it’s a great fight and a great marketing situation as well because a lot of people want to see it,” Roy Jones Jr. said. FighthypeThey’re talking about Friday’s match on Netflix between Iron Mike Tyson and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.
“It’s a young lion and an old lion. It’s a great situation for them. Give Jake a chance, with Mike being as old as he is. I think it’s a great opportunity for both fighters, but I still think Mike will be a little too much for Jake.”
Fans are asking if this is the REAL Lotta
