Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fell well short of Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium sellout

BAD MMA News — Tue, 24 Dec 2024 03:10:22 +0000

Fewer than 60,000 tickets were sold for the fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson last month at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, according to documents obtained by USA TODAY Sports . About 6,500 tickets were given away, according to the documents, as the heavyweight bout livestreamed Nov. 15 by Netflix fell short of hopes for ticket sales. On multiple occasions Paul said the fight would draw 90,000 spectators to AT&T Stadium. That would have required the sale of 10,000 standing-room-only seats at the 80,000-seat venue, home of the Dallas Cowboys. But only 59,666 tickets were sold and another 6,437 were given away for a total of 66,103 tickets distributed, according to a tax report submitted by the fight promoter, Holden Boxing LLC.

ARLINGTON, Texas – Mike Tyson , who struggled to complete eight rounds of boxing Friday night, hinted he might fight again. The moment came during a post-fight interview, when Netflix reporter Ariel Helwani asked the 58-year-old Tyson if his loss to Jake Paul by unanimous decision at AT&T Stadium could be his last fight. “I don’t think so,’’ replied the former world heavyweight champion.

Boxing legend Mike Tyson is proud despite defeat, but partially because he overcame a medical issue, the extent of which had not been publicly revealed pre-fight. In his first social media statement following Friday’s defeat to Jake Paul , Tyson said he “almost died” and “lost half of my blood” during a medical episode earlier this year. “This is one of those situations when you lost but still won,” Tyson wrote

Jake Paul almost dares Conor McGregor to step in ring with him after beating Mike Tyson

BAD MMA News — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 20:06:09 +0000

IRVING, Texas – It’s become old hat for Jake Paul to try and lure UFC star Conor McGregor into a boxing match, so it’s only natural that the YouTuber-turned-professional-prizefighter would use the afterglow of his win over Mike Tyson to do it again. Paul, 27, predictably had an easy time with 58-year-old Tyson en route to a lopsided unanimous decision in their eight-round heavyweight bout Friday night before 70,000-plus fans at AT&T Stadium. The fight drew massive interest as it served as the headliner to streaming giant Netflix’s first foray into live sports . With manager Nakisa Bidarian by his side during the post-fight news conference, Paul was asked if he’s interested in setting up a fight with McGregor, and the response was almost daring from both men.

Why did Mike Tyson lose to Jake Paul? The answer should be obvious. | Opinion

BAD MMA News — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 18:42:41 +0000

ARLINGTON, Texas — You didn’t really think he was going to do it, did you? Most of you out there who were rooting for Mike Tyson to knock out Jake Paul on Friday night in the boxing match of this weird, substance-free decade we’re living in were probably doing so for one of two reasons. The first is that you find Paul obnoxious and wanted to see Tyson inflict pain on the YouTube star, which is a perfectly reasonable conclusion. The second is that a part of you, like me, always yearns to feel whatever you felt back in the late 1980s, when Tyson was the baddest man on the planet. This is not reasonable. If you are old enough to remember where you were when Tyson knocked out Michael Spinks in 91 seconds, then you most likely woke up this morning with a stiff back or a sore knee and a reminder to schedule your colonoscopy.

Jake Paul ‘didn’t want to hurt’ Mike Tyson, unfazed by critics of boring fight

BAD MMA News — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 15:14:07 +0000

ARLINGTON, Texas – In the buildup to Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson , there were questions about the Netflix boxing headliner being a real fight , particularly because it featured a 27-year-old squaring off against a 58-year-old. For anyone who doubted the legitimacy of Paul vs. Tyson, despite the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation sanctioning it as a fully professional bout, Paul’s words following his unanimous decision win Friday night at AT&T Stadium will surely not sit well. “Yeah, definitely a bit,” Paul told reporters at the post-fight press conference, when asked if he went easy on Tyson
