Jon Jones is seeking a big payday and it appears a showdown with 53-year-old former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson might be the best way to cash a sizeable check right now.
During a live chat earlier this week, Tyson talked about the ongoing issues with fighter pay in the UFC where top athletes earn far below their counterparts in boxing. Tyson argued that Jones as arguably the greatest of all time would have to face someone like him to take home a truly massive paycheck.
“A UFC [fighter] will never be richer than a first class [boxer],” Tyson said.
