BetMGM tells The Post that Paul vs. Tyson was the most bet-on fight in combat sports history, by far, including any UFC fight to ever happen.
If you didn’t fall asleep during the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight, it’s probably because you were betting on it.
BetMGM tells The Post that Paul vs. Tyson was the most bet-on fight in combat sports history, by far, including any and all UFC fights.
A spokesperson added that the fight had four times more money than the next-highest fights.
“Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight is the most-bet combat sport (boxing and MMA) in BetMGM history. Paul winning was a good outcome for the sportsbook,” Alex Rella, Senior Trader at BetMGM, told The Post.
The books enjoyed the outcome since Tyson by KO/TKO or DQ (+250) was the most common bet for the fight, while Tyson by decision (+1100) generated the second-most bets and Tyson to win in Round 1 was third (+14/1).
None of those bets were close to winning, as Tyson looked uncompetitive in a losing effort by decision.
