The long-awaited fight garnered considerable interest and attracted a high volume of wagers.

Given those odds, the five-time Grammy winner would have been in line for a pay out of around $1 million dollars.Drake was not the only notable person to lose a hefty sum following the fight’s outcome. UFC star Conor McGregor said he put down a total of $1 million on fights that were scheduled for this weekend. One of McGregor’s wagers was for Tyson to win against Paul. He also placed a bet on Saturday’s UFC 309 event between Jon “Bones” Jones and Stipe Miocic. After Friday’s fight, Paul was asked about the possibility of a fight between him and McGregor in the future. “Yeah, he’ll never do that, though,” Paul said, before his manager Nakisa Bidarian jumped in and said, “One, he’s under contract. And two, he won’t do that. He knows better.”The Tyson-Paul bout was also plagued by buffering issues. The bandwidth problems raised some concerns about Netflix’s ability to provide steady streams for NFL games this Christmas.
