Not really a boxing game.
It was just a makemoney show.
I have read that they got 60 mil 40 for the winner and 20 for the loser are prize.
Not counting also the personal sponsor they got...
I can't do anything but agree with what you said. However, I guess Jake Paul and Mike Tyson aren't the only ones who have done this. If I'm not mistaken, the first one to initiate events like this was Mayweather when he fought Conor McGregor in the boxing ring. The same goes for Manny Pacquiao, who has had many exhibition matches — if I'm not mistaken, he’s had about 3 to 5 matches, and all of those were surely for the money.
Guess every exhibition fight we see is for makemoney show. We cannot get intense substance with it if we are looking for physicality since that matches cannot provide those intense factor that we want to see on match.
People watching it is just curious to know how the legend is doing and if they are capable to fight. If they lose or win its fine nothing change, we see this kind of approach happen on Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight and for sure this change the landscape of betting since I believe there are so many people lose their bets when they place it on Tyson.
