Dana White admits he was wrong about Mike Tyson's fight with Jake Paul

Dana White has acknowledged he was wrong to advise Mike Tyson against fighting Jake Paul. Despite his initial concerns, Tyson proved he could handle the match, which ended in a draw and attracted over 65 million viewers on Netflix. White had previously discouraged Tyson from returning to boxing, even booking him on a different show in 2020. After the fight, he admitted Tyson's confidence was justified, stating that Paul could not compete with the boxing legend. While White recognized the event's success, he criticized the broadcast format, particularly the involvement of actress Rosie Perez. He expressed dissatisfaction with the lengthy discussions that followed the fight, contrasting it with the UFC's more streamlined approach.
