Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson was a clown car showing
Is there anybody that watches this match and goes “I love what this does for professional boxing.”?
The statement said it was “insulting” for commentators to suggest the fighters hadn’t competed to the best of their abilities — despite Paul admitting himself that he deliberately avoided knocking Tyson out in the final rounds.
“Following the wide circulation of incorrect and baseless claims that undermine the integrity of the Paul vs. Tyson event, Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) would like to set the record straight regarding the contractual agreements and the nature of the fight,” the organisation said in the statement.
