The boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson attracted more bets than any other event in combat sports history.

According to Caesars Sportsbook Vice President of Trading Craig Mucklow, the bout’s betting handle was similar to that of a Monday Night Football NFL game. He told the Associated Press that the fight touched many demographics, from older people who saw Tyson in his heyday to a younger crowd who grew up following Jake Paul.
