Despite being criticized for his lack of in-ring competition against experienced boxers and opponents his age, 2021 was a big earning year for Jake Paul. According to Forbes magazine, the 25-year-old made an estimated $50 million from his boxing matches. He was even named the "Breakout Boxer of the Year" by Sports Illustrated.

In response to his naysayers, the Cleveland native scheduled a f*ght with Tommy Fury for late December of last year. This would have been his first f*ght against a professional boxer but the younger brother of Tyson Fury backed out of the highly anticipated boxing match, due to a medical condition.

Now, it looks Jake Paul has his sights set on another professional boxer. But this boxing legend hasn't had a professionally sanctioned f*ght in over 30 years. According to reports, Mike Tyson is in the advanced stage of agreeing to a mega-f*ght against Jake Paul. If agreed upon, the bout could be worth nearly $50 million and it is likely to take place in Las Vegas later this year.

"Mike and Jake are on board for an exhibition bout in Las Vegas," said a Vegas source and alleged business a*sociate of Tyson. "A verbal deal has been struck to get it on, but like all forms of sports business, now it's all about the contracts and money split. Mike is looking for a certain figure to get into the ring with a profit share guarantee. Jake obviously has that on his mind but is keen to show the world that stepping into the ring with a man once called the baddest man on the planet, takes his boxing career to the next level. This f*ght bridges the gap between old school boxing fans and the new generation of followers."

This announcement comes about one month after the 55-year-old Mike Tyson was rumored to be interested in facing off against Jake Paul's older brother, Logan Paul, in a celebrity boxing match.

I hope Paul hits Tyson in the spot that triggers rage.

I can’t buy this… this is disrespectful to boxing

I always get them confused, is this the one that takes the sport seriously or the other one?

Kinda extreme you think?

Mike is out of his damn mind.

This is some Rocky vs Tommy Gunn sh*t

POSITIVITY said I can’t buy this… this is disrespectful to boxing

Real talk boxing is disrespectful to boxing. The sport has destroyed itself before this.

Honestly… get your paper, Mike. I want him to win, but if he gets KO’d we all know Mike in his prime would have laid this kid out in 1.3 seconds. A loss doesn’t mean much, but man I am happy for Mike if he gets that kind of a payout for this.

It’s a circus… and ppl had the nerve to slam the Floyd Pac-Man era… atleast there were REAL f*ghtS…

I’m so sick of this exhibition bs I’ll never buy one again

Y’all in here talking a bunch of bullsh*t.

Jake is doing what Bob Arum wishes he could do… grab a young American audience.

Al Haymon has the urban demographic on lock but can’t find that “cross over” f*ghter.

This sh*t ain’t nothing fu*king new, happy birthday to Ali but he fought a fu*king sumo wrestler for Christ sakes.

Jake has helped Montana Love, Amanda Serrano, and Regis Prograis get fu*king bags, Amanda was working 2 jobs now she’s a fu*king millionaire thanks to Jake. He’s probably going to end up being one of the top promoters in the sport and is trying to get UFC f*ghters fair pay. Y’all hating for all the wrong reasons.

Btw ain’t sh*t fake about his boxing matches Woodley non boxing a*s bit the feint perfectly tried to protect his body and got rocked.

Roger Mayweather never lied. YDKSAB

Boxing culture so fu*ked up.....they can't make superstars no more because of greed

Mike is going to lacerate dude liver if they f*ght

Tyson will k*ll him. There must be a do not k*ll clause in the contract

"Sports Illustrated"

They aren't selling magazines anymore so it's clickbait titles and statements for them now.

They had Caitlyn Jenner on a cover for fks sake with "her" gold medal that "she" won as a man.

- Of course BuiltForThis slapped this, sorry I disrespected your queen, your man, whatever
