Medier, which promotes the betting company Rabona, filed suit on Dec. 9 in London’s High Court.
The parent company of a betting conglomerate has filed a lawsuit against former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, saying he terminated an agreement signed earlier this year.
According to The Associated Press, Medier, which promotes the betting company Rabona, filed the legal paperwork on Dec. 9 in London’s High Court. It filed the suit against Tyson and his company, Tyrannic, claiming a deal was made in January, but Tyson terminated the promotional agreement in March.
Rabona is suing Tyson for $1.5 million.
In opposition, Tyson’s attorneys say that Medier breached the contract by failing to obtain Tyson’s approval of promotional materials.
The hype surrounding the fight between Tyson and Paul disappointed boxing enthusiasts and the viewing audience. The 58-year-old Tyson lost a unanimous decision to 27-year-old Paul on Friday, Nov. 15. The fight was lackluster, and Netflix had connectivity issues. Hence, millions of viewers complained about buffering issues, with some unable to enjoy the entire fight.
