Tyson was a +180 underdog for Friday’s showdown, yet received the majority of betting action, with 67% of tickets and 53% of money siding with Tyson. That meant Paul’s unanimous decision victory was a win for the sportsbook too. Tyson and Paul almost certainly took home a nice purse as well.

Jake Paul's unanimous victory over former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson might have been disappointing from a competitive standpoint, but it drew record betting.

According to The Street, at the height of his career, Mike Tyson was worth over $400 million. The former boxing champion, now 58, enjoyed a lavish lifestyle but made several poor financial decisions. He also faced personal controversies, including the infamous ear-biting incident with Evander Holyfield in 1997 and his 1995 conviction for rape.
