Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul: Mike Tyson is defeated by Jake Paul on points in a boring match

The event was streamed to Netflix’s global reach of 283 million subscribers worldwide. The fight may have been disappointing, but a show was put on for those in attendance.

With Paul reportedly making £30 million and Tyson half that, no expense was spared for a fight that made so much money.

Paul was driven to the ring in a custom green car to the tune of Phil Collins’ In the Air Tonight. His brother, WWE wrestler and fellow social media star Logan Paul, sat next to him.

In the back seat was a pigeon that he tried to give to Tyson, known for his racing pigeons at home, as a gift during fight week.

Fans stood still as a deafening, pulsating roar for Tyson echoed through the stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys NFL team.

Dressed in his signature black attire, he stepped to the ring with the same stern look he’s had all week.

More than £14.1 million was made from ticket sales alone, with one VIP group package including a ringside seat and photos with the fighters costing a whopping £1.6 million.

Boxing royalty Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, Roy Jones Jr and Andre Ward were part of the television broadcast – and stars from Netflix shows such as Cobra Kai watched from ringside, along with NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal.
