Easy money! For many, it is obvious that Jake Paul will beat Mike Tyson on the 15th of November. However, many fans expect Tyson to upset ‘The Problem Child.’ Either way, there is a huge interest in Paul vs. Tyson as the fight is expected to be the most bet-on fight ever in the history of boxing!

Speaking to the New York Post, ESPN BET‘s Senior Vice President and Head of Sportsbook, Patrick Jay said, “Jake Paul’s fights average 17x more bets.” Additionally, he held Paul responsible for increasing “wagering activity amongst fans,” regardless of his image within the sport.

To many, Paul, a young bull in Oscar De La Hoya‘s language, looks unstoppable with his latest win over Mike Perry. But, Tyson, after an ulcer flare-up, intensified concerns about his aging health. So, with a thirty-year age gap expected to play a significant role, several fans are siding with ‘The Problem Child.’ However, Paul’s manager revealed that many were counting their dollars upon ‘Iron Mike’ too!

Nakisa Bidarian implied that Jake’s abilities have always been doubted, leading many to bet against Paul. Against Israil Madrimov, Terence Crawford is a “-750 favorite.” However, as Bidarian mentioned, the “predicted outcome is rarely so one-sided” when ‘The Problem Child’ enters the ring.

“Jake is -240 in his fight against Mike Tyson, and I have no doubt it will be the most-bet combat sports event in history,” Bidarian told the New York Post, placing Paul in sharp contrast with ‘Bud’ Crawford. In this context, when the data about the potential historic betting was posted on X, several fans reacted to it.

Roll the dice: Are you entrusting Jake Paul or Mike Tyson with your money?

Although Jake Paul is favored by youth, you can never underestimate Mike Tyson as he can end the night with one punch! However, a fan thinks Tyson has zero chances against ‘The Problem Child.’ In their opinion, many would lose their money if they bet on Mike.

As per another, it is obvious that Paul would emerge victorious. So, they decided to bet “so much damn money on Jake Paul by knockout.”

Meanwhile, one thinks that “everyone knows Jake will KO that old man.” So, they can understand why Paul vs. Tyson is expected to be the most bet-on fight.

On the other hand, one disapproved of fans betting against a man who “just had a medical emergency.” “Just shows that money does wonders,” they added, hoping Mike does not get seriously injured against Paul.

In a similar tone, a fan, showing concern for Tyson’s health, hoped the fight would not happen.
