FYI....here's a breakdown of the money for both fighters. I didn't know Tyson owned a marijuana company

How much money did Mike Tyson and Jake Paul make for their big fight?​



At a news conference on Wednesday, Paul wore a diamond-spiked ear cover, a pointed reference to the incident. But when it comes to making light of the ear biting, Tyson has beat Paul to the punch, having launched ear-shaped marijuana edibles (with Holyfield's consent) through his company, Tyson 2.0, a premium cannabis brand he launched in 2021. The brand generated an estimated $150 million in revenue in 2023, according to Forbes Australia.

I would be willing to bet it was written into the contract that Tyson would forfeit a very large sum of money if he knocked Jake out and/or the fight didn't go 8 rounds. The way Jake kept lowering his gloves down closer to his waist over and over told me knew Tyson wasn't allowed to punish him. Why constantly be on guard if you know your opponent isn't going to attack you (or isn't allowed due to the contract) on full throttle? The way Tyson wasn't attacking much - could be stamina or age, but could also be he was ordered to follow a script or risk losing a $20 mil pay day.

Sure, Tyson is 58 and doesn't have the stamina he had 30 years ago, no one does, but the power is very likely still there. I'm 59 and can lift more weight now than I could when I was 29. It's all about maintaining a training routine.

By the way, 'senior citizenship' technically starts at age 65.
That was in his contract, Mike wouldn’t be paid if he knocked him out. It’s pretty clear Tyson just played defense after round two.

It's just a tweet.

I didn't care for Parsons comments last week but this is a nothing burger.

Jake Paul only fights fake fights. That Tyson fight is the most obviously rigged fight I have ever seen. Tyson took 20 million to keep Paul safe, and put him over.
