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.
Exhibition or not, everything comes with money and its impossible that those fighters/athletes wont really be minding up that much about on how much money that they would really be able to generate.
Usually retired boxers are really that doing this but of course they will really be needing up that title on which being a champion or being legendary on which they could potentially be able to make
that huge money with exhibition and it is really that one of the perks on having that good title.
We've been continuing with this kind of set up on which as long there's a demand and huge crowd/fan interest on certain fights then they will really be trying out to make arrangement to make it happen. Its a win win situation for them on which the ill really be just that needing up dance above in the canvass and not exerting all of their efforts.
