Mike Tyson's return to the ring against Jake Paul was "horrible to watch", believes Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn, after the former heavyweight lost to his opponent.
The Baddest Man on the Planet contested a professional bout for the first time since 2005 against The Problem Child, a foe more than three decades his junior.
In a particularly bland encounter, Iron Mike looked a shadow of his former self, with large portions of the crowd booing the contest as Paul took it by unanimous decision.
Hearn, who was at AT&T Stadium to see Katie Taylor defeat Amanda Serrano in their rematch, has long been critical of the fight, and admitted it proved a hard experience.
"I didn't really watch it," Hearn told Boxing News . "I watched the first 30 seconds, which was quite entertaining, and then after that, it was horrible to watch.
"It was hard to watch. It was always going to be like that. But they're not making this for me. Look how many people turned up, look how many people tuned in.
"I can't knock it, but it's not for me. I love boxing. I don't want to see Mike Tyson stuck in quicksand. Nobody wants to see that happen to Mike Tyson."
Hearn will now be plotting the next move for his star Taylor after another major victory for the Irishwoman, with two potential trilogy bouts on the cards.
A third crack in the ring with Serrano could be a tempting prospect, but there may yet be unfinished business with Chantelle Cameron too.
