Floyd Mayweather has just caused a stir in the boxing world when he publicly accused the match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul of being just a staged drama. According to Mayweather, the main goal of the match is not to compete in strength, but for Mike Tyson to earn a huge amount of money, while Jake Paul takes advantage of it to polish his name and strengthen his position in the entertainment boxing world.

Mayweather did not hesitate to criticize Mike Tyson for participating in the match with the sole purpose of making money. In his twilight years, Tyson is no longer able to maintain his peak performance. Instead of focusing on a truly fair fight, he reportedly agreed to take part in a fixed fight in exchange for a huge payday.

“If you look at it, Tyson didn’t throw a single punch that was actually dangerous. He just stood there, waiting for the fight to end. That’s not how a champion fights,” Mayweather commented.

As for Jake Paul, Mayweather asserted that the social media star was not only in the fight to prove his skills, but also to use Mike Tyson’s image to enhance his personal brand.

“Paul is building a story. Beating the legend Tyson, real or fake, makes him a must-have name in the boxing entertainment world,” Mayweather said.

Paul, who is known for his PR stunts, took full advantage of this opportunity to solidify his position and continue to profit from future fights.

Mayweather stressed that this is a clear example of how boxing is becoming more and more commercialized. Fights like Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul not only destroy the authenticity of the sport, but also make fans lose faith in major events.

“Tyson makes money, Paul makes fame, and the audience pays to see a show,” Mayweather bluntly criticized.

The real winners in this fight are not the people in the ring, but the people behind the event. Tyson collects money, Paul collects fame, and both leave the ring with full pockets, regardless of whether the audience is disappointed or not.

With these allegations, the question is whether boxing is losing its sporty nature, becoming a stage for commercial purposes? The match, rightly or wrongly, left a mark on fans – and the future of the sport may need more than an explanation.
