RIGGED!
For months and months (and months), Netflix had hyped up the boxing match between the legendary Mike Tyson and cultural icon Jake Paul. However, when the time got here (after a delay I might add), fans were left with nothing but disappointment and a crappy fight.
Per the judges, Paul landed the victory over Tyson by unanimous decision, doing so by scores of 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73 — a clean sweep in Tyson’s first professional bout since 2005. (RELATED: Simple Game Of Pickleball Leads To Player Getting Blasted In Face With Kick After He Pisses Off Opponent)
With the “highly anticipated” element surrounding this match, a lot of fans were left surprised at how bad things were, and that’s if they could get through the dreadful buffering. Hell, things went so south that fans are now speculating that Netflix scripted the entire thing — hell, I’m over here screaming “rigged” — while others came up with different conspiracy theories about why Paul and Tyson appeared to not go full force.
Well, we may have figured out what happened thanks to legendary hip hop act DJ Whoo Kid, who claims there were legal reasons why the two didn’t throw their hardest punches.

Logically, what DJ Whoo Kid is saying makes sense, especially when you consider that Tyson was battling a debt hole not that long ago. The dude could still need the cash and set this whole thing up strictly for the money, which explains why Paul won so easily in a bout where minimal punches were thrown.
I think Whoo Kid might be onto something here.
