The long-awaited fight between influencer Jake Paul and legendary boxer Mike Tyson is over, and Paul has been declared the winner.

The Paul-Tyson fight

Paul won the fight via unanimous decision by the judges, CNN reported, with round scores of 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73 in favor of Paul. The New York Post called the fight a "snoozer," however, criticizing both streaming issues on Netflix (where the fight was shown live) and Tyson fighting despite being past his prime.

Multiple reports state that Netflix experienced problems during the live event, with watchers complaining of buffering issues and poor image quality.

How much did Jake Paul and Mike Tyson make from the fight?

According to both CBS News and USAToday, Tyson reportedly earned an estimated $20 million from the fight, while Paul reportedly earned double, $40 million. "I'm here to make $40 million and knock out a legend," he said at a press conference in August.

Despite pre-fight showboating, Paul seemed to be a gracious winner. "Mike Tyson, it's such an honor," he said after the fight. "He's the greatest to ever do it. He's the GOAT."

Despite the "underwhelming" fight, as The Athletic stated, Tyson hinted that he might fight Jake's younger brother Paul, who's currently 29.
