News Fedor Plans on Boxing Mike Tyson - Fight Agreed Upon - Date to be Announced

[mkt]

So Jake Paul is on a tragectory to accumulate wins over Anderson Silva and Fedor Emelianenko. This is a stupid fucking timeline.

Yeah, who's after them? An 85-year old George Foreman?

 

[mjfan23]

Finally fight a geriatric. What’s wrong with it? Aside from mikes age?

 

[Ornife]

Yeah, who's after them? An 85-year old George Foreman?

If the fighter in question has name value and is over ripe, injured, or infirmed Jake Paul will fight them. George Foreman is probably too far removed from Zoomer culture, but give Mike Tyson another few years to decrepify and Paul will be chomping at the bit to sign the bout agreement.

Oh they're very entertaining.

Watching grown "men" lose their shit over a guy that has dedicated his life to martial arts and been nothing but respectful throughout his career is fantastic. It tells me exactly what kind of person you are and your actual level of happiness

What the hell is going on here!?!

 

[ineverpost]

I been saying Fedor doesn't have money, his manager & connection to M1 drained or were draining his money, he has minimal
sponsors based on the organization he has been fighting in for the past few years, when he could've been in the UFC making bank and with the uptick in Russian talent & fighters from that region, he could've been the face for them in that part of the world. But but it was Dana who botched the negotiations....nope M1 botched it because they wanted co ownership and be partners with Zuffa. Zuffa didn't give in. But Gullible Scott Coker did and ran Strikeforce into the ground just like Bellator. Fedor should've made his decisions for himself and not let the ones around him dictate his career. He isn't retired he's going to comeback he didn't build a stable impact on his way out in MMA to have people invested in him. It's sad really.

Unless you can provide any actual evidence that he is broke you are just talking out of your ass. These were the days fighters were putting "Condom Depot" on their ass. Dana was focused on getting "legitimate" (i.e. public traded corporate) sponsors, not giving away half his promotion to an obscure Russian fighter than only hardcore mma fans even knew. Even now in 2023 after the huge success of Khabib and other Russian area fighters, the UFC has only done a handful of events in Russia. Fedor and Vadim were just using the UFC popularity for free advertisement. They knew they were never going to get half the promotion or a stadium built in Moscow. He may very well come back to fight but only because it's an easy fat paycheck. Even Conor Mcgregor will come back after 2-3 years off, probably abusing himself on all sorts of substances just because it's an easy huge paycheck.

Of all of these old timers, Mike seems the least like a gimmick at this stage of the game. Despite being near 60, he's still fast and powerful as fuck. He basically carried RJJ at a point, otherwise he would have cleaved his head off of his shoulders. Let's put it this way, despite being nearly 60, you won't see Jake Paul fighting him anytime soon.

 

[kumitechamp]

He really thinks that Jake Paul won't fight him now? Jake would've wrecked Prime Fedor in a boxing match.

This is true. Jake is probably looking for a bigger draw though.

 

[Johnnny]

If he can make 5M from this Tyson boxing match then that will be a nice pay day for him to really solidify his finances.

Fedor's fan base is very niche. He doesn't have the mainstream name recognition to command $5 million for a boxing match.

 

[AbominableJoman]

Fight or box? Big difference

 

[Melas Chasma]

Febor by KO.

 

[skylolow]

His wife must be a real nag at home if he wants to keep on fighting.

 

[Yep]

His last pro fight at 39, he lost to a big fat Irish journeyman.
He hasn't kept alot of his power, but he would still KO Fedor without much trouble.

Well I only mentioned his body shots for a reason. I do t think he’s climbing the ranks and koing fury. However, his body shots he was putting on Jr. Looked explosive and brutal.

 

[chiefwiggum]

Really fedor. Jake Paul? Oh man.

 

[Captain_Dammitt]

Let's be real here, he's broke.

Maybe, maybe not. Not everyone who fights is broke. Tyson isn't broke and he fought RJJ, Conor isn't broke and he's still fighting, GSP wasn't broke when he fought Bisping, Silva wasn't broke when he fought Ortiz and Paul. No one on this forum sees inside Fedor's pockets and to pretend otherwise is just stupid. Let fighters fight, man.

 

[blaseblase]

Welp, there goes that delusion that Fedor would be too stoic/honourable to participate in this circus.

He already showed that when he came back from retirement.

 

[nonoob]

. I don’t think Fedor survives the dirty boxing

Fedor, NO Doubt The HW GOAT, would not beat Iron Mike, the boxing HW GOAT, in boxing.
​

Imagine the meltdown if Jake Paul KOs Fedor

He should beat Fedor in boxing, whoever thinks different is delusional.​

Jake, looking for a bigger draw.

Biggest draw possible is Mike, people Would Pay to see Jake get demolished.
Jake obviously fears Mike, as he should, and will avoid him to prevent from getting hurt.
​

He doesn't have the mainstream name recognition to command $5 million for a boxing match.

Ridiculous. On the Francis/Fury card they'd both EASILY earn that, probably more.​

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

thats what im talking about
why would he challenge himself against mike tyson
he cant even outbox baldonado
he should just wait for mike to turn 70 and challenge him if he wants to win
lmao

but babadnabado is elite

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Oh no.

Fedor lovers are going to freak out.

Hope Tyson doesn't hurt him too bad.

Insults to the true HW goat abound here, and only thrown to stay employed and in Dana's good graces.
