In the clip posted to Paul's social channels, the 27-year-old teased Tyson about the buzz for Taylor vs Serrano 3. 'Man, a lot of people are saying that Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor's fight was better than ours and they're fighting again this weekend,' Paul said, getting Tyson's attention immediately. Tyson, cool as ever, replied, 'I got Katie.' Paul fired back with the terms: 'If Katie wins then you get a million. But if Amanda wins then I get a million.' Tyson grinned and accepted without hesitation, adding that the loser would owe the winner dinner—a 'date,' Paul laughed. This friendly but massive bet instantly grabbed headlines, showing just how invested both men are in this showdown. The bet also comes with the backdrop of their own blockbuster fight. On November 15, 2024, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson by unanimous decision over eight rounds in front of a record-breaking Netflix audience. With 65 million concurrent viewers, it became the most-watched sporting event ever on the platform. Despite rumors of uneven pay, Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian cleared things up on the Jaxxon Podcast, saying, 'Just for the record so that everybody knows because I've seen a lot of bulls— online. Jake and Mike made the same money for Paul vs Tyson. We would never disrespect Mike Tyson like that.' Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano 3: Date, venue and streaming details Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano 's trilogy fight is more than a rubber match—it's a historic clash with the eyes of the world on it.
