Promoter Behind Jake Paul-Mike Tyson Fight Responds to ‘Baseless Claims’ Boxing Match Was Rigged: ‘Illogical and Inane’
Most Valuable Promotions, which teamed with Netflix for the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight, called allegations it was rigged 'baseless' and 'inane.'
“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 company said in a statement Monday. It is further illogical and inane that MVP, in the debut of a hopeful long-term partnership with the world’s biggest streamer — an organization that made its first-ever foray into live professional sports with Paul vs. Tyson — would even so much as consider such a perverse violation of the rules of competition.” “This is not the first time Jake Paul has faced unfounded skepticism or outright disbelief as a professional athlete, and frankly, the claim that his bout must have been rigged is just the latest backhanded compliment to come his way,” Bidarian said in a statement.
