Some of the rules are that the rounds are 2:00 minutes instead of 3:00.
Gloves are 14 ounce instead of the normal 10 ounce.
I can't confirm this but I think I heard Rogan talking about how Tyson doesn't get paid if he knocks Paul out in the first couple of rounds. He only get's his full contract pay if they go the distance.
Tyson has said he doesn't care about the money so we'll see how that one works out. [Reply]

If he comes out like classic Mike, he'll pick his shots cause he only needs to catch him once and it's lights out.
Nothing i want to see more in this world than Tyson catching him full on with an uppercut or hook and putting Paul right to sleep.
Yeah, I agree about the stamina thing. My point was the same I think; Mike isn't going to be able to go the distance, imo. He needs to end it relatively quickly, by the 4th rd or so. I think he can because at the end of the day, Jake Paul is a hack, not a real boxer. And Mike was an assassin. He's never been in the ring with a true pro in his prime, and he never will, because he knows he'd get crushed.
Which is why I hope Mike can put him to sleep, as you say. [Reply]

Why would the Boxing world sanction as a legit fight but allow full payment to one boxer only if it lasts to the 3rd round? That sounds like BS. [Reply]
I'm an old school Tyson fan. I would love to see him catch Paul and put him to sleep but most times things like this don't end well for the old guys. Jake Paul has beaten some good fighters. Nobody with the resume of Tyson but at 60 years old, my mind tells me this is gonna end bad for Tyson. [Reply]

I agree that probably this won't end well. But I don't remember Paul fighting a single good pro boxer anywhere near their prime. Who did he box that was any good? [Reply]

Tommy Fury is the only legitimate young boxer that Paul has faced and Fury is ranked like #38 in his division. [Reply]

No, there's nothing at all special about him. He's part of the 'content creator' generation only he does it while people are swinging at him.
Fury beat him, ftr. He'll never get in the ring with a legitimate top 20, young boxer cause he'd get his ass kicked. [Reply]

They sanctioned two minute rounds and heavier than normal gloves. :-)
I'm not saying it's definitely true but I'm not discounting it either. [Reply]
This one is going to be entertaining AF, haven’t looked forward to a boxing event this much in a while.
I think Paul has no idea what he’s in for. He does not have the ability to reach into the darkness like Tyson does. He’ll get some shots in, but Mike is not losing to this dude. [Reply]
