Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul Postponed Amidst $10M Controversy: Brendan Schaub Reveals Jake Paul’s Hidden Agenda
In a surprising twist, the much-anticipated boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, initially scheduled for July 20, has been postponed indefinitely. This delay has sparked numerous speculations, with former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub suggesting that Jake Paul might have orchestrated the entire situation for a larger master plan.
Tyson’s Sudden Exit Due to Illness
Boxing legend Mike Tyson had to withdraw from the fight due to an illness contracted while traveling. Although the fight is not entirely canceled, there is no new date set for the event. This abrupt change has raised eyebrows, especially with Brendan Schaub’s recent comments hinting at a possible strategic maneuver by Jake Paul.
Brendan Schaub’s Insightful Analysis
During an episode of “The Fighter and the Kid,” Schaub expressed his skepticism about the postponement, suggesting that Jake Paul might have influenced Tyson’s decision to pull out. Schaub highlighted the significance of the Netflix deal, which both fighters were reportedly negotiating. According to Schaub, this deal is a substantial opportunity that nobody in their right mind would abandon lightly.
“Mike Tyson-Jake Paul is off… Do you not think it’s some weird world?”
“You know, Jake and Mike are friends, right? He fought on his first card. So, do you think they’re like, ‘Hey, we can sell this to Netflix? It’d be massive,’” Brendan Schaub.

“Mike’s like, ‘I’m not fighting your young a**. That’s f***ing stupid. He’s [Paul] like, ‘No, no. It gets us in the door with Netflix, we’re gonna give you a, whatever, a flat fee of 10 million, and then a month before, you pull out, my brother comes in.’ Tyson still makes money… Do you think those guys would do that?”
“Is This Jake Paul’s Master Plan?”
Schaub speculated that Jake Paul, known for his strategic and often unconventional approaches, might have planned Tyson’s exit to benefit financially and secure a lucrative Netflix deal. Schaub pointed out the prior collaboration between Paul and Tyson, recalling how Jake Paul fought on the undercard of Tyson’s bout against Roy Jones Jr.
“Mike Tyson-Jake Paul is off… Do you not think it’s some weird world?” Schaub mused. He proposed a scenario where Jake Paul convinced Tyson to join him in a Netflix venture, ensuring both parties benefited financially. Schaub suggested that Paul might have arranged for Tyson to receive an eight-figure paycheck to bow out, paving the way for Logan Paul to step in as his replacement.
“Mike’s like, ‘I’m not fighting your young a. That’s f*ing stupid,’” Schaub imagined Tyson saying. “He’s [Paul] like, ‘No, no. It gets us in the door with Netflix, we’re gonna give you a flat fee of $10 million, and then a month before, you pull out, my brother comes in.’ Tyson still makes money… Do you think those guys would do that?”
Bryan Callen’s Observations
Schaub’s co-host, Bryan Callen, added fuel to the fire by pointing out Tyson’s lack of sparring videos in the lead-up to the fight. Although Tyson shared numerous training videos, which showcased his legendary skills, there were no sparring videos—an essential aspect of fight preparation.
“I have seen zero sparring from Tyson, zero. That’s what you have to do okay, especially if you’ve been rusty and not interesting,” Callen emphasized. This observation led to further speculation about Tyson’s readiness and commitment to the fight.

Jake Paul’s Silence and Social Media Stir
Jake Paul, often vocal on social media, has maintained an uncharacteristic silence regarding the postponement. This has only added to the swirling theories about his possible manipulation of the situation. Fans and critics alike are eagerly awaiting any statement from Paul that might shed light on the real reason behind Tyson’s withdrawal.
Medical Emergency or Strategic Move?
While the official reason for the postponement is Tyson’s medical emergency, the underlying narrative proposed by Schaub and Callen has captivated the public’s imagination. Is it possible that Jake Paul masterminded this situation to secure a favorable outcome for himself and his brother, Logan Paul?
