Mike Tyson isn’t impressed with Jake Paul's $5 million offer for their upcoming fight. Paul, 27, has promised to pay the former heavyweight champ if Tyson can make it past the fourth round. If not, Tyson would have to get a tattoo saying, "I love Jake Paul."

Tyson, 58, thinks $5 million isn’t enough. “He should offer more,” Tyson told USA TODAY Sports. When asked how much, Tyson replied, “Probably about $20 million.”

Many believe Tyson’s best chance to win is by knocking Paul out early, but Tyson says it won’t be that easy. "I don't expect him to fight me head on, so I’ll have to catch him after a few rounds," Tyson said.

Tyson, who is currently training six to seven rounds per session, feels confident about the fight, which is set for November 15. "I feel great. I’m ready right now," he added.

Tyson spoke alongside David Cynamon, chairman of LF*GO!, a company that makes caffeine-infused pouches. Tyson has teamed up with the company, saying, "I believed in the product. It works for me."

Cynamon praised Tyson’s preparation, saying, "I'm betting on him when I leave this room."
