Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) has responded to widespread claims questioning the legitimacy of the Paul vs. Tyson event, refuting baseless accusations and reaffirming the integrity of the match.
The fight, sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations (TDLR), was a professional bout where both fighters competed without restrictions or limitations. MVP emphasized that rigging a professional boxing match is a federal crime in the United States, and any agreement suggesting otherwise would violate TDLR rules.
MVP also criticized the unfounded speculation, insulting the fighters’ dedication and the sport itself. “Trash talk and speculation are common in sports,” they said, “but suggesting anything other than full effort from these fighters is not only naïve but an insult to the work they put into their craft.”
The promotion pointed out the absurdity of such claims, particularly given the event marked MVP’s first collaboration with the world’s largest streaming platform in a move toward live professional sports. MVP reiterated its commitment to fair competition and the principles of the sport, dismissing any notion of foul play as “illogical and inane.”
“This is not the first time Jake Paul has faced unfounded skepticism or outright disbelief as a professional athlete, and frankly, the claim that his bout must have been rigged is just the latest backhanded compliment to come his way,” said Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions. “From day one in this sport, people have doubted his abilities—unable to reconcile how someone with his background has accomplished so much in such a short time. Jake has not only proven himself repeatedly, but he has continuously set historic records that speak for themselves. This event, which broke attendance and viewership milestones for a professional sporting event, is yet another example of his ability to deliver on the biggest stage. As long as Jake continues to exceed expectations, there will always be those who try to discredit his achievements. We embrace the doubt—it only fuels Jake to work harder and achieve greater success.”
