One of the wildest spectacles in recent sports history came to an end Friday night.
Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson by unanimous decision in a fight livestreamed by Netflix and held in front of more than 70,000 spectators at AT&T Stadium.
The heavyweight boxing matchup followed a sometimes zany build-up to an unlikely bout: the 58-year-old former world heavyweight champion against the 27-year-old social media sensation. At the weigh-in Thursday, for example, Tyson slapped Paul in the face.
Paul entered the fight as the betting favorite, but it’s unlikely anyone will cash in like the two boxers will. Paul is expected to make $40 million and Tyson is expected to make $20 million.
It was Tyson’s first pro fight since 2005, and his career record falls to 50-7.
It was Paul’s biggest moment in a boxing career that started less than five years ago. He improved his career record to 11-1.
