    ARLINGTON, Texas – The punch heard around the world struck Jake Paul in the left cheek Thursday night.

    Mike Tyson slammed his open-handed right hand across Paul’s face during the weigh-in before their wild, strange and puzzling event.

    Based on reactions on social media, the blow created excitement, but also speculation that the fight wasn’t actually legitimate. But there is no hitting if the gloves are put on during a strange combination.

    Tyson, the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion, will fight as a professional for the first time in almost two decades against Paul, the 27-year-old social media sensation.

    Netflix will livestream it to 280 million viewers.

    Mike Tyson is 58 years old. His birthday is June 30, 1966.

    Mike Tyson is 50-6 during his career with 44 knockouts.

    Jake Paul’s record is 10-1 with seven knockouts.

    Some of you may be wondering why this fight, why someone who is 58 fighting someone decades younger, has become such a big deal. On the surface, this fight is a joke. It’s stupid. It shows the lows that boxing has reached. But dig deeper. Look specifically at Tyson.

    The fact that you know that name and that it catches your attention says it all. Tyson hasn’t fought in years and yet you’re reading this and getting your popcorn ready to watch this thing. That’s because Tyson built a currency as a cultural force that continues to this day. If you’re of a certain age (raises your hand) Tyson was as much a part of the culture as pretty much any major star alive today.

    He embodied the American fascination with violence. Every fight we waited to see how badly he would knock out his opponent. Then things changed and we waited to see if he would ever fall. Like many champions, his fall was as important as his rise.

    The interest in this battle today is a bit of what it was like in the 1980s and 1990s. Just multiply it by 1,000. This is Tyson’s power. This is the force that resonates today and will likely continue for years to come. –Mike Freeman

    The expected crowd of 70,000 will not meet Paul’s promise of 90,000. But ticket prices reflect increased demand in recent days.

    Boarding pass prices listed on Seat Geek on Friday climbed to $50, from just $30 less than two weeks ago. But the main spike came from field-level seats, according to veteran ticket broker Patrick Ryan.

    In the past three days, Ryan said, prices for those seats have tripled, from $600 each to $1,800.

    The stadium has a seating capacity of 80,000, but can be expanded to 90,000 with standing-room-only tickets. Those tickets did not go on sale. – Jos Peter

    Jake Paul said he would make $40 million for his fight with Mike Tyson. Tyson is expected to make $20 million.

    According to Celebrity Net Worth, Mike Tyson’s net worth is $10 million.

    Paul is 6-1, 227.2 pounds and has a reach of 77 inches.
