From a business perspective, the matchup made perfect sense. The excitement surrounding this boxing event was unparalleled, something we haven’t seen in quite a while. Despite the criticism Jake and Logan Paul often receive, there’s no denying their exceptional business acumen.
The fight wasn’t staged, but it was clear that Jake Paul eased off in the third round to keep the match competitive. Strategically, this approach allowed him to solidify his credibility by lasting all eight rounds, while also securing a win. At the same time, it ensured that Tyson could deliver a performance worthy of his payday and maintain a respectable showing.
No doubt, the audience was frustrated—largely because so many had wagered on the outcome, a questionable decision from a strategic betting standpoint.
