Mike Tyson gets a million-dollar surprise and might forget all about the Jake Paul fight
The 58-year-old has other, more important ventures at the moment.
Despite the cries of many for the fight to be fully canceled, the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight is still expected to come to fruition in two months time. Postponed until November 15, the legendary boxer and Youtuber-turned-fighter will square off at AT&T Stadium if everything goes according to plan.
There are still plenty of detractors who are dubious about whether the fight will actually end up happening, with many citing Tyson’s old age and health concerns as the main reasons. Even if the fight doesn’t materialize, Tyson can at least say he got a huge win two months before.
Could Mike Tyson focus more on cannabis company than Jake Paul?
That’s because Tyson’s cannabis company has reportedly gotten a $9 million infusion from big investors.
“Tyson 2.0”, the boxer’s cannabis company, has been around for a little while. But like all startups, money is needed in order to keep everything functioning normally. The company hit a snag in April, when it was accused of selling “moldy” marijuana in California.
But things seem to be back on track, and Tyson and his team have everything they need in order to make it a successful venture. That could lead to Tyson needing to be more hands-on with the company, which could take away from his training.
Tyson has been very open about his cannabis and drug use. In fact, he mentioned he will likely be under the influence of drugs when he fights Paul. But will it ever even come to that?
