The Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight brought 70,000 people to the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Friday night, but a number of them did not get to leave on their own terms.
The Netflix event was one of the most anticipated of the year, and with good reason. However, mass crowd outings are often marred by lawbreakers. Thankfully, there have been no reports indicating anyone got hurt.
According to FOX4, nine people were arrested at the home of the Dallas Cowboys. The outlet cites a list released by the authorities, noting that four people were arrested for public intoxication, another for illegal gambling, and another for solicitation of prostitution. Oh boy…
An individual was also apprehended for harassing a public servant, while two others were taken in for criminal trespass and resisting arrest, respectively.
Former NFL cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones was also arrested on multiple charges after the fight, though he had already returned to his hotel, which was next to the stadium.

Tyson appeared to be up for it in the first round but slowed down shortly after as his age began to show. The former undisputed world heavyweight champion will go down as one of the greatest athletes ever, but no one beats Father Time, although there have been claims of him pulling his punches during the bout.
Paul, on the other hand, took advantage of the age difference, staying away from Tyson while using jabs to score points against the veteran.
He admitted he took his foot off the gas while speaking to reporters after the fight, claiming he didn’t want to hurt Tyson.
