According to the view of former boxer Jero Garcia, who is now involved in professional boxing training, what the audience at the AT&T Arena and millions of viewers watching live from the Ring were seen as a “play” taken.
The pantomime begins with the image of Jake Paul entering the AT&T Arena in Texas, on the Chevy Ring with his brother and a Southeast Asian pigeon as a mascot.
The pigeon was once given to Mike Tyson by Paul during a midweek interview and returned to the legend’s normal state. “I’ll feed my hawk,” Mike said. He is known for being a wild bird.
Paul claimed that this appearance created a “dollar-for-dollar” price tag. A surprising number considering the $40 million he earned from his 16-minute fight last Saturday
With just one box office grossing nearly $18 million, the Netflix variant has become one of the biggest exclusive events in history.

The film was a mixed commercial success, grossing over $469 million at the global box office). He even allowed himself to record the “Iron Mike” moment in the film.
Then it was sad when the Legend who holds the record for 19 consecutive knockout victories appeared alone in the ring, limping slightly, with a knee pad on his right leg.
The legend was mourned by boxing journalist Jaime Ugarte, who criticized: “It’s honestly rude that they let a 58-year-old into the ring.”
In Ugarte’s view, he believes that there is a Pact not to fight in an effort “to get a little bit of the prize back for the champion”.

Tyson watching the rounds go by without trying to close the gap with Paul is a sad image, not like the man who calls himself a “natural born killer”.
Tyson waited for the signal to end the round and kept punching. “I have a habit of breathing on my hands, I like the marks,” he justified after the fight, with a half-smile recalling the service in Evander Holyfield’s ear, during the WBA heavyweight title fight in 1997, the year Paul was born.
According to experts, the hope of a professional fight as BTC mentioned was completely extinguished after only 2 rounds. The feeling when the play ended was that Paul “showed mercy” to Tyson, as Jero said. “In the end, Jake wanted to take care of the legend”.

Internal reinforcement after the fight. Basketball legend Magic Johnson was among them: “It was sad. I turned off the TV because I couldn’t watch it anymore. It’s sad to see Tyson like this, because I’ve been to all his fights. This new fight is not good for boxing.”
“The most important thing is that the show pays very well,” Jero Garcia concluded. Paul understood that with the rhythmic message of Canelo Alvarez, the Mexican super middleweight champion.
“We broke Netflix revenue, the biggest fight in America. Everyone is on the list, I won’t name names… Canelo, he needs me, more than I need him. He wants money, I want to show him where to find it.”
