I cover combat sports (MMA and boxing) and video games like Madden, MLB The Show, Undisputed, EA UFC, Dragon Ball Z, Call of Duty and more.
Don't count former UFC champion and Paul opponent Tyron Woodley amongst the crowd of detractors for the polarizing fight.
|I feel, and I know that this fight is one that we're going to watch," Woodley said via video call from his home."A lot of people have something negative to say about it, but I guarantee they watch." Woodley is likely spot-on with that assessment. In 2020, Tyson squared off with fellow aging boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. in a fight that Paul promoted and featured the former YouTuber in his boxing debut.. Based on that performance and given Paul's increased popularity since his debut, it makes sense to project the event will draw at least that amount of PPV buys–if not more.It's the sort of event that many will trash on social media, but they will nonetheless be attracted to it.
That's a bitter pill for boxing purists who long for the days when the best fighters drew the biggest crowds, not the most popular people–regardless of skills in the sweet science. However, it's tough to argue as we see a new player in the boxing world like Netflix cinching their wagons to someone like Paul to kick off their plunge into live sports.
Woodley has been in the ring with Paul on two occasions. He lost a split decision in the first meeting back in August 2021. Four months later they rematched and Woodley lost via one-punch KO.Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, on December 18, 2021. Woodley has rebounded well from a business standpoint, and he mentioned he is not yet retired from fighting, though he didn't announce any impending fight plans.
