Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson: “I am shocked, saddened, and disgusted”
Hi everyone, and welcome back to my weekly sports betting mailbag. Yesterday the sports and entertainment world was shaken by the announcement that Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will face-off in a boxing match on July 20th at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas.
Michigan’s top sportsbookshave already released their betting lines for this fight, so hurry before these lines more. Now lets get to your question.
It’s certainly an interesting combination, considering that the former champ Mike Tyson is 57 years old. Would Tyson have beaten Jake Paul in his prime 30+ years ago? Absolutely. This event, which is airing live on Netflix on Saturday, July 20, is more about getting eyeballs for Netflix and expanding their portfolio of live sporting events.
It will certainly draw some casual fans and bettors in, and I’d be shocked if Jake Paul wasn’t a sizable favorite at sportsbooks. Will I even tune in to watch a couple rounds? Probably. But at some point, you’d like Paul to move away from the spectacle bouts and into real matches.
