"Loser gets 0" - MMA X erupts over rumored $700 million KO bounty for potential Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul rematch

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson having a rematch seems to hold great interest for a particular multi-billionaire, who's willing to offer a massive financial reward for an outcome. X account @JackLombardi relayed a report that billionaire Turki Alalshikh is offering 'Iron Mike' $700 million if he agrees to a sequel clash against the brash YouTuber and knocks him out within the first three minutes of the proposed bout.

The Saudi billionaire has become a predominant combat sports figure in recent years by utilizing his deep pockets and making several blockbuster boxing bouts that many thought we would never get to see.

X users began to build up a thread underneath the post from @JackLombardi with a wide range of responses.

@FreedomsLodge said:

"Should be-Whoever knocks the other out in round 1 gets $700,000,000. If it goes to round two, it's $600,000,000 And so on. Loser gets 0."

@hoodsmackdownSR stated:

"Mike would say yes in a heart beat"

@CommonSenseHumn quipped:

"This is ridiculous. All it would prove is that Mike and Jake would arrange for Jake to allow a knockout and 100% throw the fight within the first 3 minutes for a split of the $700m."

Jake Paul and the persistent rhetoric of rigged fights

Jake Paul has found himself at the nucleus of this large cash offer for Mike Tyson to score an early knockout because some believe that the former heavyweight boxing champion did not give his all in the Netflix broadcasted prizefight. The idea that Paul takes part in rigged or scripted fights has followed him for years and this did not change following his Tyson victory.

The discussion reached such a fever pitch in the last couple of weeks though that the 27-year-old combat sports disruptor's team released a statement to counteract these claims.

Most Valuable Promotions released an official statement regarding what they felt were incorrect and baseless claims designed to undermine the integrity of the widely viewed boxing bout. MVP went on to say that 'The Problem Child' and Tyson both fought in good faith as they each competed to the best of their abilities with the express goal of winning the contest.

The Ohio native does not have his next bout scheduled but it seems like fighters from multiple combat sports are coming out of the woodwork for a chance to fight Jake Paul. So, he has no shortage of options for his next boxing bout.
