Boxing fans have demanded their money back after watching Mike Tyson lose to Jake Paul in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The two men finally fought at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, seven months after their bout was first announced.
Many tuned in hoping to see Tyson summon some of the magic that made him one of the best heavyweights of all time during his prime years in the sport.
Instead, they saw the 58-year-old look every bit his age as Paul secured victory via unanimous decision.

Fans online are far from impressed, with many demanding their money back.
One user said: "I want my money back. The undercard was better than the main event.
"@jakepaul was afraid to get hit and danced around avoiding the fight. @MikeTyson shouldn't have been in the ring. Underwhelming."
A second fumed: "The Mike Tyson v Jake Paul fight was a joke.

"Anyone who paid money to go see that should be demanding it back with compensation for having to waste their time and gas.
"Was there even a drop of blood? All I saw was a bunch of sweat."
Another raged: "Give everyone their money back @netflix @jakepaul @MikeTyson."
A fourth said: "I’d like to get a refund for what I just saw. Jake Paul isn’t a boxer, Mike Tyson is the greatest but he’s 58. Jake robbed Netflix, good for him."

And a fifth said: "Love you Mike, but that match was awful. People deserve a refund who came to see that."
While many fans were devastated to see Tyson looking like a faded force, Paul was jubilant after his win.
The 27-year-old has now won 11 of his 12 pro fights, with a defeat to Tommy Fury last year the only time he's failed to come out on top.
While Tyson may no longer be the fighter he once was, it's an impressive thing for Paul to put on his CV.
