MVP Jake Paul’s promotion company has released a statement regarding people’s claims that his fight against Mike Tyson was rigged on November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Some people noticed that in the latter part of the fight, Jake seemed to have taken his foot off the accelerator so as not to injure Tyson. Former heavyweight champion Tyson looked like an ancient fossil and would crumble if Jake opened up on him with a barrage. The way Jake seemed to ease was noticeable to the fans.
While some fans on social media saw the fight as scripted, it was obvious to most that 58-year-old Mike Tyson was too old to win and had business in a boxing ring for a fight of eight round sanctioned by professional against the influencer. Jake Paul or someone with half decent skills.
Statement of MVP
“To suggest anything other than full effort from these fighters is not only naive, but an insult to the work they put into their craft and the sport itself.”
Gullible fans were fooled into thinking that Tyson had a chance to win after seeing his mitt workouts in the build-up to the eighth rounder. He watched it quickly, but only short clips were shown. During the open workout, Tyson was badly out of breath after being interviewed. He never caught his breath and looked in poor health cardio-wise for an athletic contest involving eight two-minute rounds.
The statement of Most Valuable Promotions did not change the view of the fans who feel that it was poor taste on the part of Jake Paul to choose an old Mike Tyson, who is pushing 60, to gain fame and make money. It was seen as someone scooping from the bottom of the barrel to make a buck.
Jake has fought older fighters since the beginning of his career in 2020, so this has been the norm for him.
Many people who didn’t pay attention to Jake’s fights were disturbed at the idea of ​​him pulling Tyson out of his 19-year retirement to fight him instead of focusing on one of the contenders in the cruiserweight or heavyweight divisions. Many fighters would have gladly agreed to fight Jake if he had asked.
The scores:
– 79-73
– 80-72
– 79-73
