Jake vs. Tyson: A Great Marketing Battle
That’s an insane amount of people Jake can reach to generate interest in his celebrity level boxing matches.
Jake, 27, chooses his opponents wisely, and he may have hit the jackpot with his selection of 58-year-old Mike Tyson, who looked exhausted and much older than his chronological age during Tuesday’s workout ahead of Friday’s round of 16 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
If things work out well, Jake will beat the legend Tyson and continue hectic battles. He hopes to attract Canelo Alvarez to fight him, which would bring in a ton of money. Of course, Jake has no chance of winning.
It’s all about money, cheap entertainment and bringing in more subscribers. You can’t fault Jake for not making easy cash.
“I think it’s a great fight and a great marketing situation as well because a lot of people want to see it,” Roy Jones Jr. said. Battle hypetalking about this Friday’s fight on Netflix between Iron Mike Tyson and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.
“It’s a young lion and an old lion. It’s a great situation for them. This gives Jake a chance, with Mike being his age. I think it’s a great opportunity for both fighters, but I still think Mike is going to be a little too much for Jake.”
Fans are asking if this is a REAL fight
Many fans believe that the Jake vs. Tyson fight is written in such a way that the winner has already been chosen between them, and they will go out according to a professional wrestling-type plan.
