Jake Paul’s team, through Most Valuable Promotions, refuted claims that his boxing match against Mike Tyson was rigged, emphasizing the fight’s legitimacy and criticizing unfounded skepticism as Paul continues to face doubts despite setting historic records.
Jake Paul and his crew have had enough of critics trying to undermine his boxing feats. On Monday, Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions fired back at online commenters. They claimed his win over heavyweight legend Mike Tyson wasn’t legit.
Various wild accusations have been thrown around about the fight. Some suggest Paul and Tyson had a secret agreement to go the full eight rounds. Others allege the 58-year-old Tyson was barred from using certain moves, like his famous uppercut.
Paul clinched a unanimous decision in a match slammed for its lack of excitement. Check out Most Valuable Promotions’ press release response below.
Following the spread of false claims undermining the Paul vs. Tyson event, MVP aims to clear things up. Rigging a professional boxing match is a federal crime in the U.S., folks! The bout was sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations (TDLR). Both fighters gave it their all, with no restrictions—contractual or otherwise—on their abilities. Any agreement contrary to this would breach TDLR rules.
Trash talk and speculation? Part and parcel of sports. But doubting these fighters’ full effort? That’s not just naive; it’s an insult to their dedication and to boxing itself.
Furthermore, it’s absurd to think MVP would risk its debut partnership with the world’s largest streamer by violating competition rules. The Paul vs. Tyson fight took place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, streamed live on Netflix. A massive hit, with peak viewership topping 108 million!
Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions, also chimed in on Monday’s release. He defended his business partner Paul, who’s often faced criticism for his choice of opponents and accusations of fixing fights.
“This isn’t Jake’s first rodeo with skepticism,” Bidarian said. “Claims that his bout was rigged are just another backhanded compliment.” From day one, people doubted him—unable to grasp how someone with his background achieved so much so fast.
Jake has consistently proven himself and set historic records that speak volumes. This event shattered attendance and viewership records for a professional sporting event. As long as Jake keeps exceeding expectations, there will always be naysayers. But we welcome the doubt—it only drives Jake to work harder and reach greater heights!
