Who won ? I never even heard of this guy Paul

@Mike Hope...Mike Tyson lost Jake Paul won.

@RB...$20mil is a good retirement package,for someone that had lost a hell of a lot being in prison and all the legal fees that went hand in hand with that. Nothing to loose by loosing really his boxing career is over anyway, he wont be fighting professional anymore he is too old for that now. And win or loose this fight had opened up many income streams for Mike again.

And Jake Paul is a youtuber first and formost its all entertainment and generation of income for him( hence Netflix involvement) and at $40mil its worth the risk if Mike maybe pulled a KO but on points it was never a match Jake is younger and faster and would certainly land more shots and be able to avoid more shots. All he had to do was avoid a KO in first two rounds and Mike would be tired and he would loose on points.

I dont think it was a fixed or sell out fight but it definitely could only go one way with the age gap and it definitely was not a fair matched fight that would have you in your seat edge the whole time and they both knew it going in. Mike knew to avoid a KO Jake knew to avoid a KO and they both made millions regardless of who won.

A YouTube influencer whose brother too is an influencer and a WWE United States wrestling champion.....once upon a time Jake Paul was a nickelodeon kid.

Seems the nickelodeon kids have some sort of gift or " guardian angel" that spurs them to stardom.

Father Time.

As he always does in the end.

This thing was never a competition it was a money making/ marketing scheme from the beginning. Jake Paul is in his prime and Mike Tyson is way past his. I don't even like Jake Paul but there's no way Mike would have beaten him now.

Honestly can't believe Jake Paul gets to book fights that he is guaranteed to win because he only books fighters who are way past their prime and now he gets to say he "beat" Mike Tyson and prance around with fat cheque to boot.

Aiiii, my heart hurts. I still think Tyson is one of the Greatest of all Time.

Tyson is old. Not the same aggressive Tyson who bit off Evander Holyfield ears off. We all age and mellow. This is what has happened to Tyson. Let the poor sod go rest in peace. His days of fighting is long over. Poor sod!

God bless the masterful, courageous warrior, Mike Tyson.

Absolute legend.
