Mike Tyson Sued for $1.5 Million Over Alleged Contract Breach Tied to Jake Paul Fight

The lawsuit claims Tyson terminated a promotional deal to pursue a Netflix-sponsored bout with Jake Paul, which became the most streamed sporting event in history.

• Mike Tyson and his company, Tyrannic, are being sued by Cyprus-based firm Medier for allegedly breaching a promotional contract signed in January 2024.
• Medier, which promotes the betting platform Rabona, is seeking over $1.5 million in damages, including $800,000 in fees paid to Tyson and $729,000 in wasted production costs.
• The lawsuit alleges Tyson ended the deal in March to agree to a Netflix-sponsored fight with Jake Paul, which Tyson’s lawyers argue was due to Medier's own contract violations.
• The fight, held last month at AT&T Stadium in Texas, drew over 70,000 live attendees and became the most streamed sporting event ever, with more than 108 million viewers globally.
• Despite earning $20 million for the fight, Tyson lost to Paul in an eight-round unanimous decision, marking a significant addition to his professional record.
