FANS are demanding their money back after Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson failed to live up to anticipation.
The 27-year-old wore down the legend 31 years older than him over eight gruelling rounds to secure a unanimous decision victory.
Tyson started the better fighter but seemingly used up all his energy by the third round as Paul then took control.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer danced with the veteran and never went for the killer punch to knock out his rival to the disappointment of hopeful fans.
Supporters inside the AT&T Stadium booed Paul as he made his way to the ring and some were heard again after the bout.
To make matters worse, the millions watching at home had difficulties with their live stream.

Netflix showed the fight and it was the first live sporting event ever on the platform – but the action was marred by technical difficulties.
Some fans hoping to tune into the undercard action were greeted by an error message until Netflix sorted the issue.
From a stream that would freeze to sound problems, they perhaps came away more hurt than Paul or Tyson.
Viewers raged on social media, with one saying: “Buffering on and off, pixelated image, muffled sound. They wanted the big event, and they are fumbling it.

“If I had purchased a subscription for this event, I would demand a refund first thing tomorrow.”
Another added: “That was one of the worst fights I’ve ever seen. Netflix f****** sucks and I’m cancelling my subscription.”
A third wrote: “Credit to Jake Paul and Mike Tyson for pulling off one of the great cons of century.
“I should have put £10m on Jake. Not cause he’s good but cause he fought a senior citizen. I would say everybody involved should be ashamed but I’d take the money too if I could.”
More fumed: “Netflix is the biggest loser of the night. Absolutely pathetic for a $350billion company to be unable to host a live stream. They knew it would be massive.”
Others ranted: “Wish I could have watched it. Minutes before the start of the fight I was buffered out. I’m cancelling my Netflix subscription in the morning.”
But Netflix could perhaps get another shot with Iron Mike as he refused to rule out retiring.
