More than 100 million people worldwide logged in to Netflix for Friday's Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight.
And many of those viewers — including the family of boxing’s greatest champion — are now taking shots at Paul for the fight.
Here's what Muhammad Ali's daughter and grandson had to say about Jake Paul after his fight with Mike Tyson.
Muhammad Ali's daughter Rasheda Ali Walsh critical of Jake Paul money-grab
In published reports, Rasheda Ali Walsh, the daughter of heavyweight great Muhammad Ali, said her father would appreciate the money made by today's boxers, but that otherwise, he would have been put off by Paul's apparent money-grab of pitting a 58-year-old, past-his-prime Tyson against a boxer less than half his age.
Jake Paul is the co-owner of Most Valuable Promotions, which was the main promoter for Friday's fight inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
"Daddy would have been mortified," Rasheda Ali Walsh told the Daily Mail. "Because back then, boxers didn't really make that much.
"They were fighting for their lives, and I think as my dad started to make boxing more entertaining, that's when people came on board and how boxers started to, after my dad, make a lot of money."
Ali, who lived in Cherry Hill for a few years in the early 1970s, made roughly $57 million throughout his illustrious career.
In comparison, the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight generated more than $17 million in gate revenue alone, with published reports indicating Jake Paul earned about $40 million while Mike Tyson pocketed around $20 million.
What did Muhammad Ali's grandson say about Jake Paul?
Muhammad Ali's grandson, Nico Ali Walsh, and up-and-coming boxer, took to social media to bash Jake Paul.
And while Muhammad Ali's grandson didn't directly challenge Jake Paul to a fight, he criticized the bout and said his grandfather would have been just as critical.
"Jake Paul is an embarrassment to this sport," read Nico Ali Walsh's post on X. "If my grandfather was still around, he’d call him out. Absolutely no shame…Love you Mike."
One response to Walsh's post questioned if Nico would fight Paul next.
Walsh didn't respond to the question, but other responders said Paul would have no chance against Nico, or any other legitimate fighter.
