The long-awaited fight between influencer Jake Paul and legendary boxer Mike Tyson is over, and Paul has been declared the winner.
The Paul-Tyson fight
Paul won the fight via unanimous decision by the judges, CNN reported, with round scores of 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73 in favor of Paul. The New York Post called the fight a "snoozer," however, criticizing both streaming issues on Netflix (where the fight was shown live) and Tyson fighting despite being past his prime.
Multiple reports state that Netflix experienced problems during the live event, with watchers complaining of buffering issues and poor image quality.
On X, viewers also commented on Tyson's age, making jokes that 27-year-old Paul committed "elder abuse" against the 58-year-old, who hasn't been in the ring professionally in 19 years according to CNN:
How much did Jake Paul and Mike Tyson make from the fight?
According to both CBS News and USAToday, Tyson reportedly earned an estimated $20 million from the fight, while Paul reportedly earned double, $40 million. "I'm here to make $40 million and knock out a legend," he said at a press conference in August.
Despite pre-fight showboating, Paul seemed to be a gracious winner. "Mike Tyson, it's such an honor," he said after the fight. "He's the greatest to ever do it. He's the GOAT."
Despite the "underwhelming" fight, as The Athletic stated, Tyson hinted that he might fight Jake's younger brother Paul, who's currently 29.
Pathetic show
ReplyDeleteOMG can we get on with the fight!
ReplyDeleteTyson’s slap at the Weigh in was harder than any of the punches in the fight. It was a WWE set up for $$$. Nothing more.
ReplyDeleteI’m inclined to think it will be like a horrible car crash that we cannot look away from.
ReplyDeleteBEING THE BILLIONAIRE IN YOUR FAMILY AT YOUR AGE IS NOT A CRIME…. Sometimes we work harder still don’t get rich…. If you wanna be successful HMU “ GOOD GOD”
DeleteI don’t understand what you’re trying to say.
DeleteIs that the Shah of Iran in his profile pic? Seems kinda of scam my to me
DeleteIs like format an hard drive with format c: /q /u
ReplyDeleteTyson wins.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it is gonna be a success for netflix. soon we will have all sorts of thrash sports events where it isnt about the pinnacle of the sport but rather who generates the most interest. we will have diddy vs mike, elon vs zuk and so on.

DeleteSuccess in views maybe, but a disaster when it comes to their streaming ability. The frikken thing did not work!
DeleteIT WAS EVERYTHING BUT NOT A BOX! DANCE AND BEAUTY CONTEST😆 HAVE WE WAITED FOR THIS FOR 1 YEAR?
ReplyDeleteSpectacle or bloodbath?
ReplyDeleteNetflix even monopolizes sports.

ReplyDeleteThe fight between Katie and Amanda before it was epic. the Tyson Paul fight, eh not so much. Old man on old legs getting punched by a bloke more than half his age with 6 inches more reach... Mike got his 20 Mil Jake Paul got his fame
ReplyDeleteWhen is it over?
ReplyDeletei just heard, but have not confirmed... 8pm and 40ish seconds
DeleteI don' t know & i couldn't care less about these two.
ReplyDeleteTürkiye de yaşıyorum ve güçlü bir internet altyapısı olmasına rağmen canlıya bağlanmıyor. Tam bir fiyasko. Sanırım çöktü.
ReplyDeleteWish i had my night back!@! Freaking waste of time..
ReplyDeleteWhat a waste.
ReplyDeleteWHERE IS THE FIGHT ??
ReplyDeleteIt would have been good if it didn't keep freezing up! I will never waste my money on a channel that does that!
ReplyDeleteIt was pathetic
ReplyDeleteSHAME
ReplyDelete8 pm eastern
ReplyDelete11:15pm
Deleteno the card starts at 8 their fight not likely until 11:30
DeleteMidnight
DeleteTotal waste
ReplyDeleteWas arranged!!!! Boycott Netflix !!!
ReplyDeleteI hope it’s not drama
ReplyDeleteWWE. PR garbage.
ReplyDeleteHe bites of someone 's ear and they still care about his fight? No thanks . Can't stand him or the dog torturer.
ReplyDeleteFAKE FIGHT 🤡
ReplyDeleteLater
ReplyDeletestraight garbage
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch the fight, but from the comments I can imagine that nowadays fights are no longer real fights, they are shows, money has surpassed fights!
ReplyDeleteI imagine it was like the Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen fight at Anderson's farewell. 😂
💯😂
DeleteNO ONE. it was a WWE farce... Sadly.
ReplyDeleteNetflix needs to do a lot better if they want to continue with live sports. I don’t know if they also managed hosts, special guests and microphones but all of this could have been handled better.
ReplyDeleteAt first I think it was serious, or not either, I just know it turned into a joke show
ReplyDeleteI’ve gotta say watching the buffering wheel was more exciting than the fight.
ReplyDeleteKatie, Taylor, and Amanda Serrano with the stars of the night Dave. Actually, Amanda Serano was the star of the night. She was ripped off. 
DeleteOnly for people who tuned in late. I watched from the beginning and had no issues.
ReplyDeleteNot correct! I watched everything from the start, it startet to lag at the end of the woman’s fight. Then it stopped all together, and I did not get back in before after 1h had passed. So I sat up all night to se Tyson stumbling around in the ring, more busy getting mouth peace right than throwing punches. I did not expect to see the 20year old Tyson in the ring, but what he showed was not impressive even compare to his age.
Deletethat’s a ridiculous assessment. I as well as two of my friends tuned in at 8 and we all had buffering issues.
Deletemaybe your internet speed then? But Likely a bandwidth issue on Netflix’s part 🤷🏽♂️
Deleteit was definitely on Netflix. The servers clearly weren't prepared for the number of viewers
Deleteeven people with starlink were having buffering issues
Deletethat’s exactly what it was. Overload on bandwidth.
DeleteI had no issues with my phone
DeleteNot for me Dude. I cranked it up from 10 minutes before the event even started. as soon as they started to announce Tyson, that’s when my buffering started. Everything was perfect until the fight was underway. It lasted for a few minutes. I tricked it by jumping on my iPhone on LTE and it popped up. It was my ISP’s Internet is what I thought. As soon as it cleared up on TV, I jumped off my phone. That was the only trouble I had all night.
DeleteI had one 30s buffering issue right as Paul entered the stadium. Started watching about 30 min into broadcast
Deletenope, I started before the first undercard and wasn't able to make it through either of the last two fights
Deletenope, I tuned in when the thing started at 7pm. Was great throughout the first two fights. After that problems started. Buffering, error messages. It was a disaster on Netflix’s side.
DeleteNetflix
ReplyDeleteNot only during the fight but even after the right the video lags a lot
ReplyDeleteMike Tyson's legs weren't working well so he couldn't chase Jake Paul down. Jake Paul was able to stay out of his range for the most part.
ReplyDeleteIt was like watching paint dry
ReplyDeleteYou managed to find a picture of Tyson actually throwing a punch. Nice. There were only a couple of them to choose from.
ReplyDelete19 I believe.
Deletethey say he threw 97 and landed 18 but I believe those numbers were inflated. There's no chance he threw 97 during that fight.
Delete97 , surely didn't look like it . I think the whole ""fight"" was staged .
DeleteWhat fight this was a Broadway show
ReplyDeleteThe worst fight ever seen !!!
ReplyDeleteIron Mike got iron legs
ReplyDeleteThe chick fight was way better than the Tyson fight
ReplyDeleteWatched illegally on somebody else’s network stream. Totally worth, minimal lag.
ReplyDeleteAnd yea, tyson stumbled and couldnt be punched out like all the other haymake finisher swings?
Fixed. Bottom line.

ReplyDeleteOn a positive, the women brought their A game! That bout should have been the main event.
ReplyDeletethe two Mexicans also were beating each other to a pulp
DeleteReportedly?!?!? …factually
ReplyDeleteWho won the fight? Both of them walked away with tens of millions of dollars. The only losers were those of us watching such a bombastic fight.
ReplyDeleteThe people that got paid... no one else.
ReplyDeleteI don’t think anyone noticed. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
ReplyDeleteStreaming issues🤣🤣🤣 yeh the site CRASHED
ReplyDeleteReportedly?? We were all there.
ReplyDeleteJust read the script when the streaming is interrupted.
ReplyDeleteYou think😂🤣😂🤣
ReplyDeleteA total waste of time was to see that fight. Boring to the max.
ReplyDeleteThey still have
ReplyDeleteReally??!! 😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteYou bet they did!!
ReplyDeleteIt was horrible, missed almost everything
ReplyDeleteA total money grab for supposed boxing match - nothing to see there
ReplyDeleteYes it did¡!
ReplyDeleteReportedly?🤣 were you even watching
ReplyDeleteReportedly?
ReplyDeleteYa think !!! NETFLIX DID NOT GET IT GOING FOR HRS AFTER START TIME
ReplyDeletehu da fak cares???
ReplyDeleteZzzzzzzz
ReplyDeleteJake Paul
ReplyDeleteYa they did 😩
ReplyDeleteGreat question, how much money did they make, there was a lot at stake, a joke of a show!
ReplyDeleteIf you watched the fight in slow motion, you see tyson about to punch paul when he had an opening. His fist moved then pulled back. He didn't want to knock paul out. The deal was to probably stay as long as you can in the ring. So tyson held back. He was biting his fist because a fighters instinct was to hit back when he saw the opening. The amount of times tyson bit his fist was when the amount of times he held back and was fighting his natural instinct
ReplyDeletewhy would anyone watch that in slow motion?
Deletebiting his glove is to use his neck muscles to support the weight of his arm to prevent arm fatigue.
DeleteRue Paul vs Cicely Tyson would have been a better fight
ReplyDeleteTyson did, cuz he walked away with 20 million. As far as in the ring, the 27 year old beat the 57 year old.
ReplyDeletebut Paul walked away with $40 million, so I think that would make him the winner by your criterion.
DeleteHe still has a career ahead of him with many opportunities. Tyson was over the hill 30 years ago. His decline was apparent back in the late 90s, and it was a sharp one.
DeleteWhere did I say I disagree with your notion in the second comment? I didn’t. You claimed money made Tyson the winner, but since Paul got double it stands to reason by your first assertion that Paul one.
DeleteBut you missed my point. If I was talking about who made more, then sure, Paul won. My comment wasn't based solely on who got the most money out of it. It's about someone who really didn't have any business getting into that ring to fight a guy that caliber in his prime to begin with, when it seems obvious to many that they both might have been holding back. That's a pretty big win and a pretty solid retirement when years of mismanagement of his career cost him to the point where he had just a tiny fraction of the wealth he should have had.
DeletePaul still has his whole career ahead of him, and will probably make another 200M at least before it is all said and done.
It was fixed
DeleteTons of problems with Netflix trying to watch the fight ugh
ReplyDeleteOther providers did not have problems
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was a resolution lower than 360p until I streamed this fight. lol.
ReplyDeleteThere was no winner. 58 year old man vs 27 year old kid.
ReplyDeleteThere was a loser however, namely Jake Paul. Next fight suggestion Jake Paul VS Ron Paul
DeleteThe true tragedy lies not in defeat, but in the choice to tarnish greatness for fleeting riches; a lion should never bow to a jackal, even for gold.
ReplyDeleteWhoever got people to pay for it
ReplyDeleteLol reportedly.
ReplyDeleteFake, no one, scripted
ReplyDeleteDon't say 🤣🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteAnd now they will have trust issues! What a scam.
ReplyDeleteThere was no "reportedly" about it....
ReplyDeleteThey had massive issues
lol
ReplyDeleteWho cares?? Two retireries taking home their last pay cheque...
ReplyDeleteFake fight ,mike is iron mike
ReplyDeleteReportedly????????
ReplyDeleteSurely Tyson on replay😜
