How much money in PPV would Tyson make today if he was in his prime today?

Mike Tyson was one thrilling, charismatic fighter, so I would think that he had a terrific chance to make a staggering amount of money if he was at his best at the present time.

At the beginning of his pro career, Tyson had a fine management team in Jimmy Jacobs and Bill Cayton, especially with Jacobs in the picture. Also keep in mind that Tyson had Kevin Rooney as his trainer during the early part of his pro career. Whatever you think of Rooney's ability, Tyson always entered the ring in good shape and ready to fight with Rooney as his trainer. After Jacobs died during 1989, things began to fall apart with Rooney later being fired. It would have been interesting to see how Tyson would have fared if Jacobs was around during Tyson's entire career.

My god, with social media and all...who the **** knows really.

 

Tyson had incredible aura. If he was properly managed and promoted like Joshua with
media training and the right team behind him and run like a Company there is no
reason wouldn't being a massive PPV star today.

 

He had all of that in the 80s. He had the type of representation and promotion most fighters would kill to have. I'm sure Archie Moore or Jersey Joe Walcott would have loved to have a Bill Cayton and Jim Jacobs in their corner during their struggle years.
