A mystery bettor on Reddit made a $10M bet that Jake Paul would win a decision against Mike Tyson, and he won. Now Media Take Out learned that people are questioning whether the fight was fixed.

The bettor posted his betting slip on the social media platform one day before the fight. In the post, he claimed that he had “sources” inside Jake Paul’s camp who told him that Jake planned on carrying the fight to a decision.
The post was later deleted.
But screenshots of the post show that the bettor wrote, “I took out all the money from my 401k and got about 10 of my friends to do the same.”
He added, “easy money.”
According to the betting slip, the wager doubled the betting man’s investment – making him a little more than $11 million.
Under federal rules, it is illegal to fix a fight. Both Jake Paul and Mike Tyson claim that the fight was “real,” and they were both paid close to $50M for the event.
If the fight was fixed, both Jake and Mike could be in a lot of trouble.
We really hope that the guy on reddit was just a troll …. cause these days the feds are watching.
