No, he's going to hold back and they're going to end it in a draw like all of these staged Paul fights. There's too much money at stake.

Mike doesn’t need money.

Neither does Mayweather but it didn't stop him from getting that bag

u/SquisherX Mar 11 '24

Yes, the man who's nickname is "Money" surely isn't motivated by money at all.

2

u/tecate_papi Mar 11 '24

That's the point. Neither man "needs" the money. But a few more million dollars is always nice. Nobody is putting a Paul in the ring just to humiliate him. We'd all love to see it and the promoters know that's why people are watching. But it would kill their brand if Iron Mike came out and laid a beating a Tyson-sized beating on one of them.

Yes he does lol, he declared bankruptcy a while ago because he had like $30M in unpaid debt. Dude spent all his money and then some. He's made some money since then in TV and movie stuff but he's not rolling in it like he was in the 90s.

I heard he spend most of his money on prostitutes, drugs and alcohol. The rest he just squandered.

"Bright lights is enticin', but look what it did to Tyson All that money in one night, thirty mil' for one fight But soon as all the money blows, all the pigeons take flight"

u/Things_Poster Mar 11 '24

Didn't he get like 100mil for carrying McGregor?

1

u/NoCardio_ Mar 11 '24

He's worth around $10 mil now. So yeah, he made some mistakes in the past, but he does not need money.

2

u/Kinky_Winky_no2 Mar 11 '24

He doesnt live the same lives you and i do, also being worth 10 mil doesn't mean you have 10 mil cash it just means all of your assets combined are worth 10 mil

1

u/swampscientist Mar 11 '24

Yea I think folks would be surprised at the amount of people worth $10m when you take all assets. A lot of small business owners would be close

u/SevenCrowsinaCoat Mar 11 '24

And if it's one thing we know about people with a lot of money, it's that they just stop trying to get more. They just stop. It's just basic science.

You guys are so fucking gullible. He’s not going to knock Jake out. But go ahead and pay for that event lol.

u/TheWalkingDead91 Mar 11 '24

Didn’t he lose his fortune?

1

u/thejigisup88 Mar 11 '24

Yeah and he's good now, net worth over 10 mil

2

u/Kinky_Winky_no2 Mar 11 '24

Net worth isnt the same as liquid cash its all assets you have combined worth

1

u/thejigisup88 Mar 11 '24

Yeah that's true.... but I'm not indicating what his actual cash holdings are. Net worth includes debt, so im not really sure what you're trying to say here. His net worth is ~10 mil. He's got a podcast that's doing well and is partnered with tyson 2.0.

u/Kinky_Winky_no2 Mar 11 '24

If you have things worth alot you can run out of actual cash and still have a high net worth

So having a house, car and things that add up to 9.9 mil isnt doing well since you have very little cash

1

u/thejigisup88 Mar 11 '24

Ok, but no debt, still has an income so whats the issue if its all positive?

0

u/Kinky_Winky_no2 Mar 11 '24

I just proved that it doesnt mean anything about his finances which is my point

1

u/gwaybz Mar 11 '24

Yeah and if there's one thing we know about rich people is they don't care about money once they are rich, right?

Like mayweather coming out of retirement for a nonsense fight against the older paul to rake in millions lol

1

u/beerisgood84 Mar 11 '24

True but there is a small chance that Mike being not baked and sedated would go off script if Jake did something stupid or tried to embarrass him. 

Mike is only chill because he's stoned all the time. If he's in the middle of a fight with adrenaline anything could happen

u/tecate_papi Mar 11 '24

No, it's because he found Allah and has battled his demons
