This kind of events feels totally rigged to me, after the past fight from jake paul vs tyson i desidedto not Watch more fight from paul again, those events are like WWE to me, we can't consider those ones as real fights

I will wait until jake fights against canelo Álvarez, that would be the only fight that really woth it to Watch.

It's because it's not real boxing fights, this is still exhibition and although they try to hurt each other in the ring, but upon closer inspection they are not. Just like in the Mike Tyson fight, it seems that Tyson is not giving 100% on his power punches that's why people see this fight as being rigged.

However, if there are still fans willing to buy expensive tickets to watch this fight then Jake will continue to milk and scam them for choosing fighters that is old and that he can easily beat but he will hype it up as if the opponent will have a chance to beat him.

I don't think there was an agreement to not hurt each other in the Jake Paul fights, perhaps in the Mike Tyson fight they agreed to something because the guy is like 60, but we will never know. I think there was no fix, it was just that Jake Paul showed respect and did not punish him a lot more on the later rounds when age shows on these fights. On the other fights, I think they were real fights. There's no way Tommy Fury agreed to anything with Jake Paul. These guys don't get along and they put a lot on the line. You have a lot more to win by KO'ing the other guy, so I think they both accept the risk of getting KO'd in order to have a chance to hit the big win and produce a lot of social media traffic which translates in more money and better future fights. Perhaps Jake Paul has enough money to influence certain fights if he is buying some broke guy, but I doubt any of these would agree to take a dive. If you look at Jake Paul opponents, these guys have too much of an ego to agree to lose against the youtuber. These guys just try their best on the fights. Now when it comes to Floyd Mayweather exhibitions.. then I would see how he is just agreeing with their opponents and giving them a big payday to take an L, since you are taking an L against the best ever anyway, so you don't look bad. However, taking a an L against a youtuber, it doesn't look that great on your resume.

I think we can say though that there are noises about the so called agreement with the Mike Tyson fight. Tyson seems to be holding specially in the last half of the fight as he is not pushing and not pulling the trigger.

And that's why there are fans and boxing pundits who think that fight is a rigged one. So it's hard to read it even during the pre-fight and promotion. Again, there is no proof above this rigging of fights. But it makes us wonder if Tyson is really looking for a win on just there for the biggest paycheck of his career.
