Jake Paul has offered Mike Tyson the chance to earn $5million on top of his comeback fight purse.
Tyson is set to take on Jake Paul in a controversial matchup on November 15.
‘Iron Mike’ has been retired since 2005, but he’s agreed to lace up the gloves one more time for a professional contest against the YouTuber-turned-boxer at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas.
Many people are worried about the 58-year-old facing off against someone 31 years his junior, but Tyson insists he’s ready to cause a monumental upset by knocking out his opponent.
Jake Paul offers Mike Tyson the chance to win an extra $5million
Jake Paul is supremely confident that he will win. In fact, he’s so sure that he’ll quickly stop Tyson that he’s reached out to him to make a multi-million-dollar bet.
‘The Problem Child’ says he’ll pay Tyson $5million just for making it past four rounds, even if he gets stopped one second into the fifth frame the boxing legend would still be a winner.
However, if Paul KOs him inside four rounds, Tyson will have to get ‘I love Jake Paul’ tattooed on his body.
UFC star Tyron Woodley got a ‘I love Jake Paul’ tattoo after his first loss against the 27-year-old.
“Mikey, Mikey, if you can last more than four rounds with me, I’ll give you an extra $5 million,’’ Paul said in a video shared on the Betr X account.
“But, if you don’t, then you have to get a tattoo that says I love Jake Paul.
“Deal or no deal?’’
Tyson is yet to respond to the proposal that could bank him a fortune.

Mike Tyson insists his fight with Jake Paul is not about money
Since walking away from his ridiculously successful boxing career, Tyson has enjoyed even more financial success with his Cannabis company, Tyson 2.0.
Despite him and Paul sharing an $80m pot when they fight, Tyson insists that his return to the ring is not about financial gain, it’s about testing himself on the world stage.
“I could be waiting on a check every day from cannabis,” he said in September.
“That’s bulls*** for me. I’m a man, I want to go out there and I want to expose myself to risk. Sometimes I want to see who I really am.
“I want to see what I’m really made out of. I want to perform in front of the world. To me, that’s all I ever knew how to do since I was 14.
“This fight is not going to change my life financially enough.
“This is just what I want to do.”
