They should call this a fight but an exhibition but believe it or not is happening. You think Mike is done after Roy Jones but Jake wants to pull him again for he just needs recognition from the boxing community.
I would be surprised if Mike beats Jake. He is 60. Would you bet if its on Stake?
The bout is scheduled to take place on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Texas and will be available to all Netflix subscribers. Additional information, including the co-main event and undercards, will be announced at a later date. It is being produced in a partnership between Netflix and Paul’s and Nakisa Bidarian’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP).
This will not be the first time Paul and Tyson have appeared on a boxing card together. Paul fought in the co-main event of the pay-per-view that saw Tyson fight an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, which was Tyson’s first boxing match since 2006. Paul defeated former NBA player Nate Robinson via knockout in the second round in what was Paul’s second professional boxing match.

I don't know. Too many fights of this type sound to me as if they could be scripted. The whole idea is to keep the wheel moving and now it is a Live Netflix Boxing Event. I am not too familiar with this type of boxing scene, but I am aware that it's not about titles, but about pay-per-view and how to reach the biggest audience to earn the most money possible.
Does Netflix have exclusive rights or will it also be streamed on other platforms? I have seen some interviews from Paul and I think Tyson too, and the talk was about pay-per-view and how important it is to deliver a show that all the kiddies enjoy and watch the next fight, too.
In this case I guess the deal is to push Netflix subscriptions, similar to how the Inter Miami Messi deal was paid for by Apple as Apple streams Inter Miami games. It's crazy how this dude is going through life earning money nonstop. The Mike Tyson story is now something that probably a lot of people will watch because they think they will revive some of the crazy memories that Tyson is responsible for, but I doubt that it will be that spectacular.
