Podcast titan Joe Rogan hailed Jake Paul’s success in the boxing ring as “”genius””, despite concerns about Mike Tyson’s age in their recent fight.
“”I don’t have anything against Jake Paul,”” Rogan said on his podcast. “”I like Jake Paul. I think what he’s doing is genius. I think what he’s doing is, like – I mean, he’s making insane amounts of money, he’s having a great time, he’s a legit boxer.””
Rogan asserted: “”He’s absolutely a legit boxer. If you do [hate him], you’re an idiot. But the reality is, Mike is 58 years old, and I was worried. I love that guy, and he was a hero of mine when I was a kid.””
Before the fight, Rogan had been cheering on Tyson, hoping the legendary fighter would rediscover some of his past magic:
“I’m getting ready to watch this Tyson vs Jake Paul fight like I’m watching someone cast a spell that I hope actually works. And I don’t really believe in magic. But I want to believe.”
