The highly-anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson turned out to be rather disappointing from an entertainment aspect.
Fans hoped for an intense back-and-forth affair between the 58-year-old Mike Tyson and the 27-year-old YouTube star. But it was clear by the fourth round that Paul would be declared the winner, with “Iron Mike” showing almost no stamina or energy over the last half of the fight.
Paul was, as expected, named the winner via unanimous decision after the eight 2-minute rounds. The victory improved his professional boxing record to 11-1, while Tyson will likely retire for good after his humbling defeat to Paul.
The entire internet noticed Mike Tyson biting his glove and thought that was his way of letting Jake Paul know what he was doing during the fight.
The video below shows Mike Tyson biting his gloves.

Was this their way of “Rigging” the match? Social Media had a lot to say:
Riddle me this: in training camp videos, Tyson was a beast! Ducking, weaving, aggressive as hell, & punching like an angry gorilla! Then he enters the ring and slowly plods around the ring, rarely punching & biting his glove? Something just isn’t right!! pic.twitter.com/KFjIIhp89A

Raise your hand if you think the Paul vs Tyson fight was rigged 🙋♂️
He stood there the entire 8 rounds taking punches and biting his glove. But Tyson during training looks completely different.. pic.twitter.com/36Hmdl3nNK

Man was biting his gloves most of the match to keep himself from beating Paul to a pulp like he should have
It was a rigged match and Tyson had to keep himself from winning

Mike Tyson biting his glove after the first 2 rounds was a clear tell this was rigged. We were duped. I’ll never watch another Jake Paul fight. He isn’t a real fighter. He’s an actor in a play he writes

Tyson biting his glove the entire time because he wanted to knock him out but was paid to lose by looking tired and "giving it his best shot" all to promote Jake Paul.
Who else is mad they bet on Mike believing it wasn't rigged?

There are many ways these rigged fights are orchestrated when signing these secret contracts . It’s not usually one option. With Jake Paul & Mike Tyson, did you guys recognize how Mike Tyson was biting his gloves? Tyson was signaling an emergency option. pic.twitter.com/dfiFyHwT8n

Mike Tyson was telling him what to do and what he was going to do. Tyson doesn't bite his glove when fighting, this was a rigged event, Paul was stunned in the first 2 rounds and then the signals started happening. Rewatch the fight it's obvious

Wait… Mike Tyson went 8 rounds? That's insane. I need to watch that fight. But for me, that shows the size of heart on him.
However, considering his age, I'm surprised the organisers didn't make it a 6-round fight at most.

After the match, a plethora of disgruntled fans took to X/Twitter and accused the match of being “rigged.”
This whole fight was rigged. Tyson had several opportunities to knock Paul out and didn't swing. 90 punches in 8 rounds? I am so glad it wasn't pay per view.

Have you seen a more rigged fight? Tyson threw more punches and hurt more sparring partners than he did in this fight. He was hardly punching. pic.twitter.com/P9mVjthITS

Mike Tyson gave it his all and fared well for a 58-year-old. But as we all know, father time is undefeated. And Paul used every bit of his superior size, speed and athleticism to his advantage.
Mike Tyson Takes Home A Nice Payday
It hasn’t been revealed exactly how much Tyson was being paid, but USA Today reported that experts believe he would take home around $20 million. Regardless of the match result, that nice payday will set Tyson and his family up nicely.
