    I see it as a sort of “I’m so rich I get to fight a living legend” instead of an actual contest. This is a sham.

      This. He prolly knows he’ll get his ass put through a meat grinder, but it’s worth it (to him) for the clicks. Everyone paying idiot amounts of money to see this happen? Both Paul and Tyson get a cut.

        Not just “thinks”, he is counting on it. Weaponising the hate people have for him. He gets his shit kicked in and it’ll go viral.
