Jake Paul: Tyson bout will be 'biggest fight the world will ever see'

Jake Paul disputes Conor McGregor's claim that there's limited interest in his upcoming boxing match against Mike Tyson.

Paul responded to McGregor's remarks on Thursday's episode of his "BS with Jake Paul" podcast, saying he expects the bout to be the "biggest" in world history.

"Conor, you're saying that interest is low for the fight, but the last fight you announced, there was 1,000 articles written in a multiple-day span, people talking about your last fight," he said. "In that same multiple-day span, there was 10,000 articles written about this (Paul vs. Tyson).

"No fight ever has done these numbers in terms of face-off views, Instagram reels. Just on our main pages alone, it's like 50-60 million Instagram views on both of our posts. Not to mention every single other sports page posting it, that's never happened in the history of the sport, to reach those numbers. So this is, in my mind, the biggest fight the world will ever see."

Paul, 27, will take on the 57-year-old Tyson on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The event will be broadcast live on Netflix, which boasts around 260 million subscribers worldwide.

Tyson last fought in November 2020, when he faced Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition bout. That fight sold more than 1.6 million pay-per-view buys and generated over $80 million in revenue.
