Jake Paul had the same reaction as everyone else when seeing Mike Tyson’s butt on Netflix

Jake Paul — he’s just like the rest of us.

“Bro, what the f–k,” was Paul’s reaction to seeing Mike Tyson’s bare buttocks on live television before Friday’s bout. 

The 27-year-old pointed at the television set before walking away, shaking his head in dismay.

The uncouth reveal came moments after Tyson gave a pre-fight interview in his locker room. 

Turning away from the camera after predicting a “vicious win,” Iron Mike bore all for the tens of millions who were watching from home — and apparently for Paul, who was watching from the opposing locker room. 

At least the picture wasn’t pixelated. No buffer, either. Really, it was a high-water-mark of Netflix’s stream.

Paul-Tyson was never going to hurt for theatrics, though the fight — which Paul won by unanimous decision — could have used a bit more drama.

The bout appeared so uncompetitive, particularly after Round 3, that some viewers took to social media to accuse Paul of stringing the 57-year-old along.

Later, the YouTuber-turned-boxer gave substance to the notion by admitting that he eased up on Tyson because he saw the former heavyweight champion tiring.

“I wanted to give the fans a show but I didn’t want to hurt someone that didn’t need to be hurt,” Paul said.

Nearly every facet of the fight — from the cheeks to the closing bell — has been mocked.  

“Last night, Jake Paul and Mike Tyson teamed up to defeat everyone watching,” Colin Jost said during “Saturday Night Live” the day after the bout.

The biggest winner of the night might have been Antonio Brown, who was seated in a suite at AT&T Stadium for the fight and capitalized on Netflix’s debacle of a broadcast by live-streamed the first six rounds for as many as 7 million viewers.

Despite his nationally broadcast defeat and all that came with it, Tyson said he’s still grateful for his twilight return to the spotlight.

“This is one of those situations when you lost but still won,” he posted to X on Saturday.

“To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you.”

No regrets. Not even two.
