During the press conference against Mike Tyson, he had a diamond-encrusted watch, from The Jacob & Co. Billionaire Ashoka. As per the company, the watch has over 300 Ashoka-cut diamonds in 18k white gold. The 10-1 boxer also flaunted his $200,000 Vobara ‘Don’t Bite’ diamond ear cover, as he played mind games with ‘Iron Mike.‘ Despite all the hype, the main event did not live up to it as people complained about it being a mismatch. But Jake Paul wanted to celebrate, and he did.

Jake Paul was dancing and headbanging alongside Myles and Shaquille O’Neal as the Lakers icon performed at the Panther Island Pavilion. Last year, the NBA legend sold out 15,000 tickets and this year too he would do the same. But not all hopes come true, as DJ Diesel had his hopes and money on Jake Paul to lose.

Despite a monetary loss, Shaquille O’Neal and Jake Paul continued to vibe

Going into the event, there was a simple question of whether the age of Mike Tyson would allow him to dominate the matchup. In the early goings, it did look like Jake Paul might have bitten more than he could chew. But the results after the 8 rounds left no doubts as the results were in favor of the young boxer.

With 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73, the judges scored unanimously, and ‘Iron Mike‘ suffered a loss. Which meant a loss for Shaquille O’Neal, “I’m placing one this weekend. Mike Tyson baby. All the way.” During an appearance on the Dan Patrick’s show, the Lakers legend also stated Tyson would “whoop some a–“. Even revealed the amount, “A lot… $1 million.”

But Shaquille O’Neal wasn’t bitter about his loss, as he performed during the Shaq’s Bass All-Stars. For Jake Paul, it was just sweet, since he already broke the gate revenue with reported figures of $18 million. So Paul flaunting a couple of timepieces isn’t a surprise.
