Breaking News: Mike Tyson vs Logan Paul next February

[Inspired]

Or Tyson Fury vs Brock Lesnar for Furys MMA debut.

That would be silly and one sided
It works if you have 2 boxers doing it in an mma format.
Aj vs fury mma would be huge.

The kind of fans we don’t want lol

What exactly does that mean?

What makes you think those people that get excited over this are going to care about Bud vs Porter, for example? Not to say this is killing boxing, i don’t think it really affects it either way

I just think it's a lot more likely that a small percentage of fans say, 5%, watch the whole card and say 'wow I like boxing, I'm going to tune in more', than it is likely to turn anyone off that much.

I don't really have any interest in this particular fight, but I just won't watch. Mainly because I don't want to see someone get destroyed in the ring and I have to feel like Mike Tyson can still do that to Logan Paul. I don't really care for Logan though; the content he puts out on his podcast seems pretty disgusting.

Boxing puts out fights like this all the time in my opinion - fights that are not matching the best vs the best but instead are just trying to sell you something. I don't usually watch those fights either.

Boxing's biggest problem is its inability to match its best fighters together in their divisions.

[Boxing-1013]

Both those statements are wrong. It's not killing boxing nor bringing in new fans.

Well thanks for your opinion man

Logan Paul is a glutton for punishment.

He lost to KSI, then he decides to take a worse beating by Floyd, now he wants to take a worse beating from Mike Tyson.

He got emotional post-fight while talking about how much of an honor it was to fight Mayweather, now he'll be the only person to have fought Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson.

Why would Fury want to fight another boxer in his "MMA"debut? He could just stay in boxing. Fighting a retired bodybuilder with an MMA name is the perfect start. Sometimes you can be completely uninspired.

Brock is not that, not by a long shot.

the mma fanbase/community know for sure that any boxer stepping into an mma fight vs an mma fighter, will get his head caved in.
unless it's vs a soft cherry pick opponent.

however, what if Fury and Joshua decided they want 3 fights, a boxing fight, a bkfc fight and a ufc fight? that would be HUGE.
it only works if there's a legit rivalry there though, but it also makes sense to only do this at the end of their careers.

would you not love to see mike tyson vs lennox lewis in an mma brawl? holy hell.

imagine Canelo vs GGG in a bare knuckle fight, nevermind an mma fight.

I love how Tyson's fans try to make him out to be such a wise old man now who should be taken seriously. And then the dope does something like this. LOL. Should be good. Imagine if Paul knocks his old ass out.

He'd become as big a star as Kevin McBride.
