Mike Tyson's fight with Jake Paul could be cancelled just hours before start

Soon the @X servers will be buffering due to the complaints of @netflix buffering,

another joked

The biggest winner from today's fight isn't Mike Tyson, Jake Paul or even Netflix. It's X,

a third said

He got a phone call from a good friend of his and a big supporter, his excellency Turki Alalshikh, when he was in the locker room just before he went out,

Tyson's team revealed

Magic JohnsonnBA legend

The fight was not great for boxing.”

American basketball icon Magic Johnson expressed his disappointment on X, saying

I have a habit of biting my gloves,

Tyson said

Let’s give it up for Mike,

Paul said in the ring, not getting much response from a crowd that started filing out before the decision was announced

I have so much respect for him,

Paul said

First and foremost, Mike Tyson — it's an honor to be able to fight him,

said Paul

Magic JohnsonnBA legend

I cut it off because I couldn’t watch anymore. It’s sad to see Mike Tyson like this because I went to every Tyson fight. This fight tonight was not great for boxing."

Magic Johnson typed

You all can say you wasted your time, I didn’t. That’s Iron Mike Tyson. You got to see him box. He’s 58 years old. He made you believe he could do it. He didn’t go down. Dude is an actual living legend."

A fourth fan added

I wanted to give the fans a show, but I didn't want to hurt someone that didn't need to be hurt,

Paul said afterwards

I think Jake let him live.

And speaking to Mail Sport after the fight, Jake's brother Logan said of Tyson

He's tough, proud of him, weathered the storm against a young brute named Jake Paul.

He added

The gloves Mike has on are looking heavily padded while Jake has on Grants which are full on punchers gloves!

He tweeted

I tried to give the best fight I possibly could, but when someone’s just surviving in the ring, it’s hard to make it exciting. I couldn’t really get him to engage me or slip shots and do something super cool or whatever,

he added

At any point did you start to take your foot off the gas just a little bit because you knew he was tiring out?"

In his post-fight press conference, a reporter asked

Hate him or love him, you’ve got to respect what Jake Paul has contributed to the sport of boxing,

said actor Rosie Perez who, for some reason, was calling the fight

Who knew two women could co-headline a fight like this,

an emotional Serrano told viewers

I'm not one of those guys that looks to please the world

Mike Tyson

That was one of the worst fights I’ve ever seen. Netflix f****** sucks and I’m cancelling my subscription."
