Mike Tyson never really wanted this fight in the first place. This potential bout was probably being floated only by the camp of Logan Paul for publicity and hype. But Mike Tyson never gave his commitment to this match. In fact, he even denied that he is interested in this fight. He never had any plan to actually climb the ring and face the much younger Youtuber. Although he still has a strong physique even at his age right now, he definitely knows he isn't anymore as strong.
all boxing matches require conditions and, it can't be arbitrary, how can someone who differs in the age of decades, fight in the ring. mike tyson is an astute man, accepting this challenge will only sink his popularity, much wiser not to accept that challenge.

It will only happen to sportsmen who cannot wisely manage their income from sports, so they spend it just for fun. If they could have a long-term plan for what they would do after they retire, they wouldn't go bankrupt but they might have a source of income in other businesses. A famous sportsman can earn a very large income throughout their career and it makes them have to be good at managing it so that the money will not just run out. They don't need to live a luxurious life like other people because it is their life and they already have their own choices.
I don't see a fight happening between Mike Tyson, until that's sorted. Mike Tyson has been on Logan's podcast so he knows the sort of people these guys are, and if there was any truth in this possibly happening, Mike is definitely only doing it for the money. I imagine several boxers have advised Mike to not do it for boxing sake, as well as his legacy. Logan will likely get another big name though in his career.
I hope the legendary Tyson won't take the bait.
But for sure both Logan Paul and Jake Paul will probably get another big name from either MMA or boxing. It is all about the money. There are definitely previous stars and even champions like Tyron Woodley, Ben Askren, etc who are willing to look like clowns defeated by these Youtubers for the sake of money. They're probably not broke but they could not receive the same paycheck offer anymore because they're already gone from the scene. So they're probably looking at these offers as opportunities.

Obviously it does not happen to everyone but it happens to a great deal of players, for example on the NFL the average length of a player's career is something like 4 or 5 years, so even if they are paid good money for their services this means that at some point they need to find another way to earn a living, and it is incredibly difficult to believe they are going to find another job that pays so well, so the majority of the players end up broke at some point during their lives.
Obviously this is a sad part for majority of the sportsman, if they are not smart to invest in something that could earn them a living during their prime playing time then they will suffer when their career ends, once they reach the level of luxury it will be hard for them to live a normal life and usually their wealth runs out faster than they think and ends up filing for bankruptcy.

I think the highlighted text is mainly that Mike Tyson, despite being very rich, went bankrupt in 2003 because of his luxury life. Fortunately, he managed to get out of all the financial problems and is again a wealthy man. However, he still has a soft spot for spending money on stupid things. It is obvious that when the opportunity to make such easy money comes, Mike will not miss it, and I am sure that this fight will take place. It is possible that he is simply trying to negotiate more money.
This happens to a great deal of athletes as they get used to earn and spend a lot of money and suddenly when their careers end they do not have the same earning power but keep spending money in the same way, so despite all the money they earned they eventually go bankrupt, there is a great documentary about this on the 30 for 30 series produced by ESPN, it is called Broke and anyone interested in the topic should watch it as it reveals how many athletes fall into that trap.who havent done such thing will definitely goes bankrupt if they havent changed up their lifestyle despite of that earning opportunity changes.
Tyson isnt broke but he does have some history about these issues but it isnt the reason that he would fight for an exhibition match for the
sake of money.
I cant believe people still discussing this imaginary fight. 60+ pages already and there will be more. If Mike Tyson visit this topic, he would realize how hyped this fight might be and how much money he is probably loosing 
But I am glad that he realizes that money is not everything in this world. I bet he know about all there rumors and how much he can get. But just dont need it. Wont it be better to close this topic, and open it only if new and legit information appears?

Mike is different from others because he has a great impact after Muhammad Ali and lots of histories in boxing happened just because of him, his a legend and that's not gonna be ruined by these Paul Brothers where they win is always controversial and they're just making things up just for the sake of money. They are one of the reason why people will not believe boxing industry nowadays, they just need to look for someone else if they want to win again and again, since they wanted to beat some strong fighters, they have lots of option anyway.
The Paul brothers might be in it for the publicity, however the fact of the matter is Mayweather still hasn't paid Logan, and that's quite publicly known. Although, Mayweather is claiming that boxing purses usually take this long to get sorted, and while I can definitely understand a delay at times, due to the various different broadcasters, I'm not sure I'm buying it entirely.

I don't know about you, but sometimes I get the impression that they just want attention, when they talk about money and that they didn't pay him for the exhibition fights, it is something that attracts the attention of many people, even non-fans, He is also directly messing with Myweather, and I understand that he is very jealous in terms of his reputation and does not like people to speak ill of him, so this does draw attention to the fact that he made it public, another type is shown here show really.
For sure they have earned that much or millions on that fight and now he do make out some claims that he wasnt paid? Why now? Its clear that this dude is really just trying to seek out
some attention to make out some talks but for sure on this one he would really be hated up that much with that kind of behavior.
The real question is... So many people seem to think this Paul/Tyson fight will happen. Is there a place we can bet on it never happening, ever?
The last news for this match is not going to happen and that's still from the staff of Mike who has said that. Now, there's more interesting issue with Logan and Mayweather. News: LOGAN PAUL: I'M SUING FLOYD MAYWEATHER ... 'He's a F***ing Scumbag'
Maybe he just wants to recover those losses when he was being a victim of those fake Pokemon Cards he purchased last month if I remember it right lol. The amount involved is insane. Floyd Mayweather is not that dumb to allow that kind of hole. Let's see what will be the progress of that case.
Back to topic, yes, no sign that this fight will push through. Better remove it from your list especially for those who are still expecting it.
While the others are still hoping that this is possible. It's safe to assume that everyone should move on and don't think of this anymore even with a little chance, it's near to no chance anymore.
Do you guys really think that Logan was telling the truth that he didn't get paid from the exhibition match? LOL.
And now, he is just creating another nonsense issues to sue Mayweather following the box of fake pokemon cards that he bought for $3 Million. I mean, this dude is amazing! Don't tell me he is also expecting that Mike will really give him a fight in the ring for another nonsense exhibition.

I got your point. The respect is there, and also the fact that Mike could have destroyed Ali if he were given that chance in the past. What I mean is, yes Mike is without a doubt the greatest boxer by far and could have also knock down or demolish the famous boxers today like the ones we stated above but I couldn't just fathom that fact for sure because they're not in the same generation and didn't had that chance at least.
We could make out some comparison but it would really be ending up just those speculations but since you couldnt tell if the older generation is much better than on the current ones.There are lots of great fights in the past but we couldnt really ignore too that there are lots of great fights too on this current generation.
But much sure that Tyson could really able to crush lots of fighters as of this era if he's on his prime but we couldnt make out conclusions
but rather lots of presumptions.
Yes! Exactly.
There's no need for them to wait for any further hype or counter offer. Mike seems to be a firm guy and if it has been said, it's been said and just as what his rep has said.
That's what we can depend on for the discussion, no fight for the two.
The truth seems to me a pity, because I really wanted to see Tyson fight, this boxer for me is a machine, just remember when they put him in front of Muahamad Ali in an interview that Tyson himself assured that Ali was the best of all time, that was the only time I saw Tyson give a noble gesture and respect towards someone, in the same way for me Tyson is the best of all time, I don't care if he has led a crazy life, even if he took half an ear off An opponent, for me he is the best, and I don't think any other boxer in the world reaches his level.
Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson is both the best boxers in their respective generation, and the same goes to other world champion boxer in todays time as well like Manny Pacquiao, Canelo and etc. They can't be compared especially if they didn't got the chance to have a professional fight in the ring.
Same here mate, actually, that specific interview was the first time I saw Mike praise and respect another boxer. He really looked up on Ali.
Mike respected Ali, sure. I have seen the interview you mentioned many times. It is clear that Mike was respectful of those who came before him, but it's also clear to any boxing fan over the age of 40 that Mike Tyson would have destroyed Ali in the ring. Just like he'd destroy Pacquiao, Mayweather, Canelo, or any of the other little guys. I think he would have cleaned Holyfield's clock if they fought sooner as well. I believe Mike Tyson was the greatest fighter ever in his prime and I've never seen any boxer since to even put that opinion up for debate.

Former professional boxer and current YouTube creator Logan Paul has reportedly lost over $3 million on a sealed box of fake cards for the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

We are looking some bullshit reasoning on here.This dude really loves to stir up eh?
$3 Million for a box of Pokemon card? Seriously? I'm starting to like this man
I don't why these people are calling Logan Paul a former professional boxer, that dude only had 3 bouts in his lifetime and only 1 is recorded lost against KSI. In my perspective, Logan doesn't deserve that label. In the same note, I want this fight to happen and watch how Mike will school this Logan Paul.

I don't know why you are so skeptical. I know Mike mentioned he wasn't going to fight Logan Paul, but it could only be part of the game. I have the impression that Tyson just wants to negotiate as much money as possible and hence the doubts. Of course, it may happen that they will not get along at all and there will be no fight. However, in my opinion both parties should care about this, because the money can be huge.
It could be every side of the box. Just like what you've said, that's possible that he's just trying to increase the demand and paycheck that he's going to take if he ever agrees to fight.But the likely of this not happening is higher.
