He said, “Roy Jones got involved, then other fighters, Holyfield got involved, it just turned into a fiasco, and then the young guy, Jake Paul, he got involved, and that’s how he, that’s how the birth of Jake Paul began.”

However, Rogan finds Paul’s actions disrespectful. He adds, “That’s awesome that you handle it that way, because in a way I mean, it’s kind of insulting. It’s brave, it’s bold of him. But it’s also like Jesus Christ there’s levels to this world.”

Rogan was in conversation with Mark Normand on his podcast when he revealed that Tyson was the reason why the podcast table got wider.

Talking about the table, Rogan said, “He’s the reason why this table is this wide. I was going to make it more narrow. I even had a smaller table that we were working with as a guide.”

He further added, “I did an interview with Tyson and he was so amped up for this Roy Jones fight that I got nervous. I’m like I like that extra six inches”

The podcast Rogan had with Tyson paved the way for multiple hilarious instances. One particular instance was when Tyson scared Rogan during the talk.

The duo was reacting to one of Tyson’s training videos. However, Rogan found Tyson’s description of his training experiences funny. In response, Tyson told him that he was being serious, which in turn abruptly quietened Rogan.
