**Jake Paul Triumphs Over Mike Tyson in Much-Hyped Bout**
The eagerly awaited clash between internet personality Jake Paul and boxing icon Mike Tyson has ended, with Paul claiming victory by unanimous decision.
### The Paul-Tyson Showdown
As reported by CNN, Paul clinched the victory with judges scoring it 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73 in his favor. However, despite Paul’s success, the *New York Post* characterized the match as a “snoozer,” criticizing the fight for its lack of thrill and pointing out that Tyson, at 58, was well past his prime. Moreover, the event, which was broadcast live on Netflix, suffered from technical glitches such as buffering and low image quality, causing frustration among viewers.
Multiple reports, including those from *USA Today* and *The Independent*, noted the rampant complaints regarding Netflix’s streaming difficulties during the match. Fans voiced their discontent on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), with some humorously addressing the age disparity between the 27-year-old Paul and the 58-year-old Tyson, who hadn’t participated in a professional fight for almost two decades.
### Reactions on Social Media
On X, some users jokingly labeled the fight as “elder abuse,” taking aim at the stark age difference between the two competitors. Many pondered whether Tyson, who last fought professionally 19 years earlier, should have even stepped into the ring.
### Earnings of Jake Paul and Mike Tyson
In spite of the unexciting match, both fighters left with substantial earnings. According to *CBS News* and *USA Today*, Tyson reportedly took home around $20 million, while Paul allegedly earned twice that, bringing in $40 million. Ahead of the clash, Paul had confidently remarked at an August press conference, “I’m here to make $40 million and knock out a legend.”
Following the fight, Paul graciously acknowledged Tyson, expressing his admiration. “Mike Tyson, it’s such an honor,” Paul commented. “He’s the greatest to ever do it. He’s the GOAT.”
### What Lies Ahead?
Although the bout was generally regarded as disappointing, as highlighted by *The Athletic*, there may be more events on the horizon. Tyson suggested the possibility of confronting Jake Paul’s younger sibling, Logan Paul, who is currently 29 years old.
Despite the mixed feedback and streaming challenges, the fight has certainly sparked curiosity among fans regarding the future for both Paul brothers and the legendary Mike Tyson.
