The cryptic posts announced a show to be broadcast on the streaming service Max on Friday, March 27. No fight has yet been confirmed. “They played us for millions,” wrote one Instagram user, in response to the video of Paul and Tyson. “MVP would like to set the record straight regarding the contractual agreements and the nature of the fight,” a statement read. “Rigging a professional boxing match is a federal crime in the United States of America. Paul vs Tyson was a professional match sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations (TDLR).
“Both fighters in good faith performed to the best of their abilities with the goal of winning the fight. There were absolutely no restrictions – contractual or otherwise – around either fighter. Each boxer was able to use his full arsenal to win the fight. Any agreement to the contrary would violate TDLR boxing rules.
“Trash talk and speculation are common in sports, and athletes and promoters need to tolerate nonsensical commentary, jokes and opinions. But suggesting anything other than full effort from these fighters is not only naive but an insult to the work they put into their craft and to the sport itself.
“It is further illogical and inane that MVP, in the debut of a hopeful long-term partnership with the world’s biggest streamer – an organization that made its first-ever foray into live professional sports with Paul vs Tyson – would even so much as consider such a perverse violation of the rules of competition.”.
