Mike Tyson offered $700 million for Jake Paul rematch
After months of build-up, Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul was an enormous letdown, and we could now be treated to a rematch.
'The Problem Child' cruised to a victory when the pair met last month, but it didn't meet fans' expectations. With the promise of a huge finish, many were sad to see both men treat the fight as a sparring session as it trickled to a decision—though most were glad to see the 58-year-old boxing legend escape the ring unscathed.
Now, three weeks after their lackluster affair, Mike Tyson has been handed an offer that would be incredibly difficult to refuse. According to reports, Saudi Arabia's Turki Alalshikh—best known for his complete transformation of the sport of boxing—is ready to put up a large sum to witness a Paul vs. Tyson rematch.
Willing to be the driving force in making the fight happen, Alalshikh has provided a huge stipulation if he can get an agreement on both sides.
If Mike Tyson can win by knockout within the first three minutes, he will be awarded $700 million.

According to FTTV Boxing, Turki Alalshikh had some choice words for Jake Paul.
"Jake Paul is a joke," Alalshikh said according to reports. "I am giving Mike Tyson $700 million if he agrees to fight Jake Paul this time in a real fight and wins by KO in a maximum of 3 minutes."
Alalshikh isn't the only one unhappy with Jake Paul's win over the legendary Mike Tyson.
Several boxers have been eyeing a fight with the influencer and those callouts have escalated since his last fight. Most recently, Artur Beterbiev made a second hint at facing the YouTube star.
Alongside Beterbiev, Daniel Dubois
threw his name into the hat and Claressa Shields mentioned Jake Paul's name in a recent interview, making him one of the hottest commodities in the sport.
